WARNING
Risk of injury from laser radiation
When the product is switched on, there is a danger
of injuries due to laser radiation during the perfor-
mance of maintenance work. Laser radiation can
damage the eyes and skin.
ð
Only perform maintenance work with the laser
switched off (
).
ð
Before performing maintenance work, secure
the laser from being switched on again (key
switch OFF, remove key, main switch OFF).
ð
Inform all concerned persons of the mainte-
nance work taking place.
NOTICE
Damage to the fiber due to soiling of the quartz-block
end face
Soiling of the quartz-block end face of the fiber con-
nector can lead to high stray light values during laser
emissions and loss of laser output power. In addi-
tion, this can cause burning on the quartz-block end
face as well as overheating and damage to the optics.
Such damage is NOT covered by the warranty.
ð
Check the quartz-block end face for soiling be-
fore connecting the fiber connector to the op-
tics.
ð
Clean the quartz-block end face, if necessary.
Before inserting the fiber in the optics (e.g., during installation, fiber or
optics replacement), the fiber connector must be checked for contami-
nation and cleaned as required.
