Installation
The transmitting element in the Fiberlink® 5018A transmitter
unit contains a solid state Laser Diode located in the optical
connector. This device emits invisible infrared electromagnetic
radiation which can be harmful to human eyes. The radiation
from this optical connector, if viewed at close range with no
fiber optic cable connected to the optical connector, may be
sufficient intensity to cause instantaneous damage to the
retina of the eye. Direct viewing of this radiation should be
avoided at all times!
