2.0 Safety Information
Safety precautions should be observed during all phases of operation of this instrument. The instrument has been
designed to ensure safe operation; however, please observe all safety markings and instructions. Do not operate the
instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes or any other combustible environment. VeEX Inc. assumes no
liability for the customer's failure to comply with safety precautions and requirements.
Optical Connectors
The test set platform displays a laser warning icon when the laser source is active to alert the user about a potentially
dangerous situation. It is recommended to:
1. Deactivate the laser before connecting or disconnecting optical cables or patch cords.
2. Never look directly into an optical patch cord or an XFP's or SFP’s connector interface while the laser is
enabled. Even though XFP and SFP optical transceivers are typically fitted with Class 1 lasers, which are
considered eye safe, optical radiation for an extended period can cause irreparable damage to the eyes.
3. Never use a fiber microscope to check the optical connectors when the laser source is active.
Safe Module Handling
While replacing test modules, all work on the open panel must be performed only by suitably qualified personnel who
is familiar with the dangers both to people and to the instrument itself.
Modules are not hot swappable. The platform must be turned off and unplugged from VAC mains when
removing or inserting test modules.
For safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), empty module slots must be properly covered with blank
panel covers.
Prevent foreign objects from entering the UX400, before, during and after module exchange or re-configuration
process. They could create short circuits or damage internal fans.
Always store test modules by themselves in individual ESD protected packaging (with no loose elements, like
screws or tools).
Lithium-ion Battery Precautions
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs are compact and offer high capacity and autonomy, which make them ideal for
demanding applications, like providing long lasting power to portable test equipment. For safety reasons, due to their
high energy concentration, these batteries packs and products containing them must be used, charged, handled, and
stored properly, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Li-ion battery packs contain individual Li-ion cells as well as battery monitoring and protection circuitry, sealed in its
plastic container that shall not be disassembled or serviced.
The test set unit's battery pack is also fitted with a safety connector to prevent accidental short circuits and reverse
polarity.
