WA R N I N G
To prevent personal injury, avoid use that may be hazardous to others, and
maintain the module in a safe condition. Ensure the information given below is
reviewed before operating the module.
Laser Product Classification
All optical modules are classified as Class I (non-hazardous) laser product in the

To avoid hazardous exposure to laser radiation, it is recommended that the following
practices are observed during system operation:
•
ALWAYS DEACTIVATE THE LASER BEFORE CONNECTING OR
DISCONNECTING OPTICAL CABLES.
•
When connecting or disconnecting optical cables between the module and de-
vice-under-test, observe the connection sequences given below.
Connecting:
Connect the optical cable to the input of the device-under-test
before connecting to the module’s Optical Out connector.
Disconnecting:
Disconnect the optical cable from the module’s Optical Out
connector before disconnecting from the device-under-test.
Always fit the fibre optic connector dust caps over the laser
aperture.
•
NEVER examine or stare into the open end of a broken, severed, or disconnected
optical cable when it is connected to the module’s Optical Out connector.
•
Arrange for service-trained personnel, who are aware of the hazards involved, to
repair optical cables.
