3.  OPERATION 

3.1  WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS 

Throughout this manual, the symbol:  

 

WARNING: 

 
indicates that a hazard exists that may result in personal injury or loss of life.

 

 

 

CAUTION: 

indicates that failure to follow procedures may result in damage to the 
equipment.

 

 

 

WARNING: DANGER - High Voltage Present: 

 
The probe interface assembly operates from AC line voltages which may 
present a shock hazard. 

 

 

WARNING: Safety Ground 

Improper grounding of this equipment can result in electric shock.  The 
unit must be operated only with a line cord with a safety ground wire. It is 
the user's responsibility to ascertain that the power connector is properly 
wired and that the power outlet is grounded. 

 

 

LASER WARNING: 

 

This Class 1 laser product contains an embedded Class 4 laser light source 
which may be hazardous.  Only trained, qualified personnel should 
operate, maintain, and service it. 

 

 

WARNING: Explosive Atmosphere 

To avoid explosion, never operate this unit in an explosive atmosphere.  
This equipment is not certified for operation in an explosive atmosphere. 

 

3.2  LASER SAFETY 

This Class 1 laser product contains an embedded Class 4 laser with a peak output of 500mW and a 
wavelength of 850mm.  Under normal use, the laser radiation is completely contained within the fiber optic 
cables and poses no threat of exposure. 

3.2.1 

Safe Operating Procedures and Precautions 

To ensure safe operation, the following are recommended: 

 

Familiarize yourself with this manual and the safety information contained within. 

 

Be sure you understand the safe and proper use of this laser-powered field measurement system.
