General Precautions Considerations

Everyone who uses a laser equipment should be aware
of the risks.
The laser radiation is not visible to the human eye but it
can seriously damage user's eyesight.
The laser is enabled when the interrogator is turned on.
Users should never put their eyes at the level of the hori­
zontal plane of the optical adapters of the interrogator or
uncovered optical connectors.
Adequate eye protection should always be required if
there is a significant risk for eye injury.
When an optical channel is not in use (no optical connec­
tor plugged to the interrogator), a proper connector cap
must be used. The optical connectors are subjected to
maintenance and/or inspection. Please refer to
section 4.4.1 "Dirty Connector" for maintenance
procedure.
Do not attempt to open or repair a malfunctioning inter­
rogator. It must be returned to HBM FiberSensing for
repair and calibration.
