9 Laser safety precautions
Guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
The AV-MUX and AAV-MUX units in the flashlink range have a laser option.
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at wavelengths from 1200nm to 1620nm. This means that the
human eye cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex can not protect the eye. (The
human eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power and
exposure time). Therefore:
!!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBER PIGTAILS
(ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBER.NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING
GLASSES OR EYE LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBER END.USE
LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT 1310 nm AND
AT 1550 nm
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink
features:
All the laser module cards in the flashlink
product range, are Class 1 laser
products according to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to 21 CFR 1040.10
when used in normal operation.
More details can be found in the user manual for the FR-2RU-10-2 frame.
