Viavi SmartOTDR Getting Started Manual

SmartOTDR GETTING STARTED MANUAL

Laser safety

The provisions contained in two standards define the safety procedures to be observed both by users and
by manufacturers when utilizing laser products:
- EN 60825-1: 2001 - Safety of laser products – Part 1: Classification of products, requirements and user
guidelines.
- FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10 - Performance standards for light-emitting products - Laser products.
Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values and injection characteristics of a laser beam, the
risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser classes form groups representing different safety thresholds.
- VFL option: Laser Class 2.
Due to the reduced dimensions of the optical modules, it is not possible to attach the required warning la-
bels to them. In line with the provisions of Article 5.1 of the EN 60825-1 standard, the laser class identifica-
tion labels are shown below:
Ref. standard
Class 2
The user must take the necessary precautions concerning the optical outputs of the instrument and
follow the manufacturer's instructions.

AC/DC power supply safety

Always use the proper adaptable plug to connect the power supply to an electrical outlet. Viavi is
!
not responsible for direct or indirect damage including damage to persons or property if the power
supply is not use correctly. For assistance using one of the Viavi supplied adapters (your specific
regional adapter may not be available) please refer to the user manual.
Before connecting a fiber into a test module, inspect and clean the module bulkhead and the fiber jumper
connectors.
Use a video inspection scope (such as P5000i) to verify the connector quality. Follow this simple
1
"INSPECT BEFORE YOU CONNECT" process
Use appropriate cleaning material (e.g. IBC™ cleaner, cotton swab, dust air sprays, etc...) and
2
re-inspect to confirm.
Carefully align the connector and test port prior to mating both

Never force the connector ferrule or insert it with an angle into the test port adapter. Mechanical stress
may permanently damage the ceramic sleeve of the adapter or the end face of the connector.
