1.2. Safety and Fiber Optic Systems
Optical Fiber Safety
Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is operating. Eye
damage can result.
Always use cable connector caps when the cables are not connected. This protects the connector from
damage and the unlikely event of exposure to an operating optical link. Keeping the caps in place when
the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust from entering the connector and degrading the
performance of the optical link
Power Fuses
The CopperHead 3400 Base Station with internal power is equipped with Dual Cartridge fuses located
next to the AC Power receptacle at the left rear of the unit. Refer to Appendix 5 for specific location
information.
NEVER operate the CopperHead 3400 Base Station without properly installed and rated fuses. Severe
electrical and heat damage could result as well as personal injury or death.
The fuses supplied are standard 4 Ampere fuses – 5 x 20mm. Both fuses are in operation at all times –
both the AC Line Hot and the AC Line Neutral are fused.
One supplier is the Littlefuse Company. The series is Littlefuse 218.
