WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to eyes and
skin.
The maximum permitted power for the OLP-88 means that the
optical input signals can reach hazard level.
Bear this in mind when using the OLP-88. In particular, the
instrument is equipped with a through channel that transmits
all the optical radiation from the input to the output without
attenuation, even when the OLP-88 is switched off.
►
Please note that also in broadband mode light is emitted at
the unconnected port.
►
Always be aware of the hazard level of the instrument to be
connected.
►
Connect all optical fibers before switching on the radiation
source.
►
Switch off the laser source before disconnecting the optical
fibers.
►
Never look directly into the unconnected port of the
instrument, the output of a laser source, or an optical fiber
connected to a source or a system.
►
Always cover unused ports.
►
Be aware that the emitted light is not visible.
►
Heed the normal precautions for working with laser radiation
and consider local regulations.
