Page 7: General
These microchip systems are the smallest and most widely used lasers in the world. Industrial Fiber Optics utilizes the latest technology in miniature electronics and laser science in creating the IF-VL and IF-UL series lasers which can be used to transmit TV picture video to this Laser Video Receiver. -
Page 8: Operational Information
1. Power Jack (PWR) Industrial Fiber Optics Laser Video Receiver IF VR uses a standard 2.1 mm DC power input jack to provide power to the receiver. (An ON/OFF switch controls power from the jack to the electronic circuitry and photodetector.) Power input to the laser receiver must be applied from a low-voltage DC power source in the range of 10 to 15 volts, such as supplied with the laser receiver. - Page 9 6. Power adapter (not shown) All Industrial Fiber Optics products sold in the United States come complete with a power adapter suitable for 60 Hz 120 VAC-to-VDC conversion. Most others come with 50 Hz 220 VAC-to-VDC power adapters. It is strongly recommended that the power adapter furnished with the laser be the only supply used.

Page 11: Safety
The Laser NTSC Video Receiver does not emit optical light or radiation that is hazardous to health. The Industrial Fiber Optics IF UL and IF VL Lasers used with this receiver are low-power Class II or Class IIIa lasers and are very safe for classroom and general laboratory use. -
Page 12: Operating Procedures
OPERATING PROCEDURES Radio and TV signals use electromagnetic energy that travels at the speed of light. They are broadcast in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which has a limited capacity for individual signal channels, whether over the air or through cable. By using the light frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can greatly increase the amount of TV signals that cable systems can deliver. -
Page 13: Making The Laser Transmit Video
Make certain the television set is displaying the video properly before starting the next procedure. If it is not, check the signal switch positions and cable connections. When a signal is being received, leave the signal switch positions on the VCR and television as you set them, then stop the playback on the video tape (if used) and turn the VCR and television off. - Page 14 Turn on the VCR and start playback of the tape, or use the built in tuner to receive a television station as in Procedure A. Turn the television on. Switch the Video Diode Laser on, then open the laser beam shutter. Position the laser as required so that the laser beam strikes the photodiode inside the Video NTSC Laser Receiver.

Page 19: Shipment Damage Claims
SHIPMENT DAMAGE CLAIMS If damage to an Industrial Fiber Optics product should occur during shipping, it is imperative that it be reported immediately, both to the carrier and the distributor or salesperson from whom the item was purchased. DO NOT CONTACT INDUSTRIAL FIBER OPTICS. - Page 20 120237 Rules for Laser Safety • Lasers produce a very intense beam of light. Treat them with respect. Most educational lasers have an output of less than 3 milliwatts, and will not harm the skin. • Never look into the laser aperture while the laser is turned on! PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
