Chapter 2  Safety 

CAUTION 

DO NOT apply TTL or square wave modulation to the MOD IN input. Due to response delays of the 

constant power control loop, damage to the integrated fiber coupled laser may occur! 

 

SHOCK WARNING 

High voltage inside. To avoid electrical shock, before powering unit, make sure that the protective 

conductor of the 3-conductor power cord is correctly connected to the protective earth contact of the 

socket outlet. Improper grounding can cause electric shock resulting in severe injury or even death. 

Do not operate without cover installed. 

 

WARNING 

This unit must not be operated in explosive environments  

Thorlabs provides the proper power input cable for use in the United States. If using this unit anywhere else, the 
user will need to supply a properly grounded power cable to power the unit. 

Do not obstruct the air-ventilation slots in the housing! 

Make sure that the line voltage rating marked on the rear panel agrees with your local supply and that the 
appropriate fuses are installed. Changing of the mains fuse can be done by the user (see Setting the AC Line 
Voltage and Installing Fuses). 

With the exception of the mains fuses, there are no user serviceable parts in this product.  

This device can only be returned when packed into the complete original packaging, including all foam packing 
inserts. If necessary, ask for a replacement package.  

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters should not to be used within the range of three 
meters of this unit since the electromagnetic field intensity may exceed the maximum allowed disturbance values 
according to EN50082-1.
