PRECAUTIONS
Safety
- Exercise caution when working with any optical equipment. High-intensity fiber optic laser sources output
potentially dangerous high energy invisible light, and could cause serious, irreparable damage to the eye. Thus, it is
recommended to
NEVER
look into the connector port of a light source or the end of a fiber.
Operational
- It is important to keep connector ferrules and optical connector ports clean. If dirt, dust, and oil are
allowed to build up inside connector ports, irreparable damage may occur to the optics inside the port. For best results,
replace dust caps after each use.
Light Source Connectors
- Do NOT insert APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors into the light source ports
on your Fiber OWL 7 BIDI as this may damage the internal light source endfaces or the angled ferrule on the APC
connector.
LABEL
On the back of each unit is a label similar to the one shown below containing model number, serial number, power requirements,
