Agilent 81662A and 81663A DFB Laser Source Modules User’s Guide, Fifth Edition
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to the
container or cushioning, keep them until you have checked the
contents of the shipment for completeness and verified the instrument
both mechanically and electrically.
The Performance Tests give procedures for checking the operation of
the instrument. If the contents are incomplete, mechanical damage or
defect is apparent, or if an instrument does not pass the operator’s
checks, notify the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Office.
W A R N I N G To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical tests
when there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of the outer
enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
W A R N I N G You MUST return instruments with malfunctioning laser modules to
an Agilent Technologies Service Center for repair and calibration.
Line Power Requirements
The Agilent 81662A and Agilent 81663A DFB Laser Source Modules
operate when installed in the Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter,
Agilent 8164A Lightwave Measurement System, or Agilent 8166A
Lightwave Multichannel System.
Operating Environment
The safety information in the Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter,
Agilent 8164A Lightwave Measurement System, & Agilent 8166A
Lightwave Multichannel System User’s Guide summarizes the
operating ranges for the Agilent 81662A and Agilent 81663A DFB
Laser Source Modules. In order for these modules to meet
specifications, the operating environment must be within the limits
specified for the mainframe.
Storage and Shipment
These modules can be stored or shipped at temperatures between
−
40
°
C and +70
°
C. Protect the module from temperature extremes that
may cause condensation within it.
