Eye Safety
The FSP 3000R7 equipment uses
lasers as fiber-optic transmitter sources.
These lasers are inherently safe unless mishandled. The equipment meets the
specifications for a hazard level 1M product and a Class 1M Laser product, even
if a fiber-optic transmitter is switched to “Forced On” during installation or testing
operations (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, IEC 60825-1: 2001-08 and 60825-2:
2004-06 compliant). To switch a laser or transmitter to “Forced On” means that
the laser or transmitter is set to forced on mode.
Eye safety for users and installation personnel is guaranteed for both the net-
work and client output ports. Nevertheless, strict attention to the following pre-
cautions is important for your protection when working with optical equipment.
Laser Safety
CAUTION
Risk of laser infrared radiation!
(1) Laser infrared radiation, which is not visible to the naked eye, may
be emitted from a non-terminated receptacle of an optical module or
an optical fiber connector if the associated fiber-optic transmitter has
been powered up.
(2) An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) or other optical
testing equipment may emit infrared laser light into optical fibers.
Avoid direct exposure to laser beam. Remove the protective caps or
blind plugs from the client and network output channel (Tx)
connectors only when necessary for installation purposes. Failure to
do so can cause permanent eye or skin damage and can also lead to
blindness.
CAUTION
Risk of eye injury! If these instructions are ignored, the emitting laser
light can cause permanent eye or skin damage and can also lead to
blindness.
(1) Never use a magnifier to look directly into an optical fiber
connector or into a non-terminated receptacle unless you are
absolutely certain that no laser radiation is being emitted from the
receptacle or the fiber.
(2) Disconnect fiber-optic jumpers at both ends before viewing with
optical instruments.
CAUTION
Laser Radiation Hazard!
High intensity and invisible light is emitted from the optical output
receptacles of amplifier modules. Ensure that all connectors are
terminated properly before setting the amplifier's Admin state to
"In Service".
CAUTION
Risk of laser infrared radiation!
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other
than those specified in the
Safety Guide
and this documentation may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
