CONFIGURING THE DEMO BOARD

STEP 3: INSTALL THE LASER DIODE CONFIGURATION BOARD

CAUTION:  If the WLD3393 is confi gured incorrectly for the type of laser diode you are using, 
damage can result to your laser diode and/or the WLD3393.

  Refer to Figure 5 to determine the 

type of laser diode being used.  To confi gure the WLD3393 for your laser diode type, connect the 
confi guration board to the bottom of the WLD3393 so that the arrow on the protruding edge of the 
confi guration board points to either A/B or C.  Refer to Figure 6 for example installation.
