• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous, high voltage points
and other hazards. Contact qualified service personnel for all service.

Precautions relating to optical connections

• The normal operating life of an optical connector is usually of the
order of a few hundred manipulations. It is then advisable to manipu-
late the optical connections of the Platform as rarely as possible.
• The proper operation of the instrument and its accuracy of measure-
ment are dependent on the cleanliness of the environment and the
optical connectors as well as the care taken in its manipulation.
• The optical connectors must therefore be clean and dust-free. If the
optical connection is not being used, protect the connections of 2000
Platform using the protective caps.

Laser Safety instructions

The provisions contained in two standards define the safety procedures to
be observed both by users and by manufacturers when utilizing laser prod-
ucts:
• 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 char-
acteristics of a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser
classes form groups representing different safety thresholds.
