Safety and Compliance
The safety of any system incorporating this equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired. Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be carried out or
components not supplied by Thorlabs be used. There are no user serviceable components inside this device.
Warning: Risk of Electrical Shock
Before applying power to the instrument, make sure that the protective conductor of the 3 conductor
mains power cord is correctly connected to the protective earth contact of the socket outlet. Improper
grounding can cause electric shock with damage to your health or even death. Only use mains cable
with sufficient current and voltage ratings for this instrument.
The local supply voltage must be in the
range specified on the rear panel, and the correct fuse must be installed in the fuse holder. If not, please
replace the main fuse (see Maintenance Section).
Do not position equipment in a way that makes it
difficult for the user to operate the disconnecting device.
Do not remove covers. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.
Warning: Risk of Explosion
The instrument must not be operated in explosion endangered environments.
Warning: Laser Radiation
Avoid Exposure – Radiation emitted from apertures. Do not look into the
laser aperture while the laser is on. Injury to the eye may result. Laser
should not be turned on unless there is an optical fiber connected to the
laser output port.
Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution: ESD Sensitive Component
The components inside this instrument are ESD sensitive. Take all appropriate precautions to discharge
personnel and equipment before making any connections to the unit.
Caution: Components not Water Resistant
This instrument should be kept clear of environments where liquid spills or condensing moisture are
likely. It is not water resistant. To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to spray, liquids, or
solvents.
Caution: Follow Intended Usage Guidelines
Inputs and outputs must only be connected with shielded connection cables.
Do not obstruct the air ventilation slots in housing.
Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are not to be used within the range of three
meters of this unit since the electromagnetic field intensity may then exceed the maximum allowed
disturbance values according to IEC 61326-1.
