Operating Environment; Temperature; Humidity; Ventilation - JDS Uniphase SWS15100 User Manual

6. Set the power switch to I (on).
7. Keep the packaging.
Immediately inform JDS Uniphase and, if necessary, the carrier if the contents of the shipment
are incomplete, if the equipment or any of its components are damaged or defective, or if any
unit does not pass the initial inspection.

Operating Environment

In order for the units to meet the warranted specifications, the operating environment must meet
the following conditions for temperature, humidity, and ventilation.

Temperature

The source optics module can be operated in the temperature range of 10 to 40 °C. The tunable
laser source can be operated in the temperature range of 15 to 30 °C. The receiver can be
operated in the temperature range of 10 to 40 °C.

Humidity

The equipment can be operated in environments with up to 80% humidity (10 to 40 °C). Do not
expose it to any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can cause
condensation to form inside the unit.

Ventilation

Do not install the equipment in any location where the ventilation is blocked. For optimum
performance of the fan, the source optics module, transmitter cabinet, and receiver chassis
require 10 cm (4 in) front clearance and 8 cm (3 in) rear clearance. The tunable laser source
and receiver chassis contain built-in cooling fans. When installed in the transmitter cabinet, the
ventilation requirements for the tunable laser source are met. Blocking the air circulation around
the instruments can cause the instruments to overheat, compromising their reliability.
Warning
•
Do not use the units outdoors.
•
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the units to any
source of excessive moisture.

Storing and Shipping

To maintain optimum operating reliability, do not store the units in locations where the
temperature falls below -40 °C or rises above 70 °C. Avoid any environmental condition that can
result in internal condensation. Ensure that these temperature and humidity requirements can
also be met whenever the unit is shipped.
