Laser safety precautions
A guideline to limit hazards from laser exposure follows:
All the available EO units in the Flashlink range include a laser.
Therefore, please read the note on laser safety thoroughly.
The lasers emit light wavelength greater than 1270 nm. This means that the
human eye cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye.
(The human eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power
and exposure time), therefore:
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink features:
All the laser module cards in the Flashlink product range, are Class 1 laser
products according to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to 21 CFR
1040.10 when used in normal operation.
Please look at the user manual for more details regarding the FR-2RU-10-
2 frame.
Maximum output power
: 5 mW.
Operating wavelengths: > 1270 nm.
Note!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBRE
PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBRE.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR EYE
LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBRE END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT
1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm
