Fiber Port Safety Precautions
The following are suggested safety precautions for working with fiber ports. For
information about system compliance with safety standards, refer to Appendix B.
WARNING:
Observe the following warning about viewing fiber
ends in ports. Do not stare with unprotected eyes at the connector
ends of the fibers or the ports of the hubs. Invisible infrared radia-
tion is present at the front panel of the Main Hub and the Expansion
Hub. Do not remove the fiber port dust caps unless the port is going
to be used. Do not stare directly into a fiber port.
•
Test fiber cables:
When you test fiber optic cables, connect the optical power
source last and disconnect it first. Use Class 1 test equipment.
•
Fiber ends:
Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Do not use
tape.
•
Broken fiber cables:
Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the
fibers. Laser light emitted from fiber sources can cause eye injury. Avoid contact
with broken fibers; they are sharp and can pierce the skin. Report any broken fiber
cables and have them replaced.
•
Cleaning:
Be sure the connectors are clean and free of dust or oils. Use only
approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
•
Modifications:
Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optic
system or associated equipment.
•
Live work:
Live work is permitted because LGC Wireless equipment is a Class 1
hazard.
•
Signs:
No warning signs are required.
•
Class 1 laser product:
The system meets the criteria for a Class 1 laser product
per IEC 60825-1:1998-01 and IEC 60825-2:2000-05.
In addition, it is certified by the FDA to meet 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J.
•
CAUTION
: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
