Installing and Connecting the Product
T100S-HP User Guide 23
Procedure 1. Make sure fiber-optic connectors are clean.
2. On the front panel, in the OUTPUT area, remove the protective cap and connect
external optical components and instruments to the T100S-HP via the FC/APC fiber-
optic connector.
2.4 Installing the Remote Interlock
Subject The T100S-HP is equipped with a Remote Interlock connector at the rear-panel.
You can connect an external remote interlock switch to the Remote Interlock SUBD-9
connector located on the rear panel.
Remote interlock sets the system current and power to 0 mA and 0 mW, respectively.
Before Starting
Procedure • To connect the remote interlock switch, use a connector that meets the following pin
assignment:
• Pins 1-2: Shorted
• Pins 6-7: Connect to external switch

• Opening the interlock switch disables the laser output.
• To turn on the laser output, close the interlock switch and press the Enable key.
When the system resumes from remote interlock mode into active state, we suggest
that you run a new system auto-calibration procedure (see section
Performing
Internal Wavelength Referencing, p. 38 ) since the present system calibration data is
still based on the previous system operating conditions.
Caution
• To avoid damage to the laser output, always use a FC/APC type
connector. To connect other types of connectors such as FC/PC, make
sure to use the appropriate FC/APC converter.
• To help protect the laser output, leave a fiber-optic cable connected to
the product while making connections to other devices. When the laser
output is not connected, always install the protective cap.
Important
Make sure that the external switch is electrically isolated from other circuits,
including earth ground.
