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.

If the contents are incomplete, mechanical damage or defect is apparent, 

notify the nearest Keysight Technologies Sales/Service Office.

Line Power Requirements

The Keysight 81960A Compact Tunable Laser Source modules operate 

when installed in 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeters, 8164A/B Lightwave 

Measurement Systems, and 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel Systems.

Operating Environment

The safety information in your mainframe’s User’s Guide summarizes the 

operating ranges for the Keysight 81960A Compact Tunable Laser Source 

modules. In order for these modules to meet specifications, the operating 

environment must be within the limits specified for your mainframe.

Storage and Shipment

A Keysight 81960A Compact Tunable Laser Source module 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.

WARNING

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.).

WARNING

You 

MUST

 return instruments with malfunctioning laser modules to a 

Keysight Technologies Sales/Service Center for repair and calibration.
