WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to eyes and
skin.
The maximum permitted power for the OLP-87 means that the
optical input signals can reach hazard level.
Bear this in mind when using the OLP-87. In particular, the
instrument is equipped with a through channel that transmits
all the optical radiation from the input to the output without
attenuation, even when the OLP-87 is switched off.
Please note that also in broadband mode light is emitted at
J
the unconnected port only for BN2305/01.21.26 and
BN2306/01.21.26
Always be aware of the hazard level of the instrument to be
J
connected.
Connect all optical fibers before switching on the radiation
J
source.
Switch off the laser source before disconnecting the optical
J
fibers.
Never look directly into the unconnected port of the
J
instrument, the output of a laser source, or an optical fiber
connected to a source or a system.
Always cover unused ports.
J
Be aware that the emitted light is not visible.
J
Heed the normal precautions for working with laser radiation
J
and consider local regulations.
