Connecting the DUT
Procedure
WARNING
Do not look at the optical fiber laser light that you are measuring or point the laser
at another person’s eye. Doing so may cause eye damage or impair one’s health.
The instrument has a built-in reference light source for alignment, and infrared light
is always being output from the optical output connector. Never look into the optical
output connector. Infrared light entering the eyes can cause severe injury and loss
of vision.
CAUTION
• Before connecting an optical fiber to the instrument, make sure that the start-up
initialization process has finished. If a strong light source is input during start-up,
the optical section can be damaged.
• Be sure to clean the tip of the optical fiber’s optical connector before connecting.
• As there may be dust adhering to calibration output, be sure to clean it before
connecting optical fiber.
• Do not try to forcefully attach the optical fiber’s optical connector with the plug
inserted at a slanted angle. Doing so may damage the instrument’s optical
connector’s components or the connector itself.
• Before connecting the input light, make sure that it does not exceed the
AQ6376’s maximum rated level. If input light exceeding the maximum rated level
is introduced, the optical section may be damaged.
• Do not exhale or blow compressed air into the monochromator from the optical
input. Doing so may allow dust or other materials to enter the monochromator,
adversely affecting its optical performance. Also, if debris is adhering to the
optical components inside the monochromator when a strong light source is
input, the monochromator may be damaged.
• Press the optical connector hard against the cleaning surface of the special
cleaner to clean it. If it is not pressed hard against the cleaning surface, it may
not be possible to properly clean the optical connector.

AVERTISSEMENT
Ne regardez pas directement la lumière du laser à fibre optique et ne pointez pas
le laser vers le yeux d’une tierce personne, pour ne pas provoquer de blessures ou
de dommages oculaires.
Cet instrument dispose d’une source de lumière de référence intégrée pour les
ajustements d’alignement. La lumière infrarouge est toujours émise depuis le
connecteur de sortie optique. Ne regardez jamais directement dans le connecteur
de sortie optique. La lumière infrarouge risquerait de gravement vous blesser ou de
provoquer une perte de vision.
