Notes
•
All lasers used in this product are Class 1, in
accordance with EN60825-1 as well as 21CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11.
•
Laser light can be damaging to the eyes. Optical
fibers and uniters should be handled with great
care.
•
The IQOTR31 is designed for use with Class 1 laser systems only. Ensure that all
outputs do not exceed Class 1 as doing so will impair the safety of the system and
may result in damage to the equipment.
•
Active fibers should not be handled unless their source can positively be identified
as not exceeding Class 1 limits.
Note:
•
Optical uniters have shutters to prevent the ingress of dust. These shutters should
only be opened when connecting optical fibers.
•
The ends of optical fibers should be cleaned with a liquid fiber cleaner, using a
cotton bud, to ensure that there is no dust present before they are plugged in (the
uniter is polarized).
•
Do not disturb or handle the optical fibers.

1550 nm Tx on the IQOTR31 module
An attenuator is required for short link distances (<15 km) and is fitted by default.
For link distances greater than 15 km, the supplied attenuator may be removed to
increase power. See “Attenuation” on page 13.
