Laser safety and classifications and Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) considerations
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Read the relevant descriptions in the manuals before taking equipment into operation
•
or carrying out any installation and maintenance work on the optical port units, and
follow the instructions. Ignoring the instructions can result in exposure to dangerous
radiation.
Do not view directly into the laser beam with optical instruments such as a fiber
•
microscope, because viewing of laser emission in excess of Class 1 limits significantly
increases the risk of eye damage.
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector as long as the optical
•
source is still switched on.
Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
•
connectors.
In the event of doubt, check that the optical source is switched off by measuring with
•
an optical power meter.
