Laser safety

The OSCA module contains a Class 1 Laser product according to DIN EN 60825-1.

Please take notice of following instructions

In order doing measurements, the OSCA-710 might be plugged to fibers, which could

operate at highly dangerous optical power-levels. Due to the fact that only a small part

of the optical spectrum (C-Band) can be measured, one can not exclude that radiation

beyond the detectable range is received however. Therefore the OSCA-710 must not be

used to verify or monitor a certain class of hazard.

Cleaning of the patchcord connector is extremely important to avoid damage to the input

of the OSCA. A dirty connection can irreversibly damage both surfaces, especially when

working with high powers.

We highly recommend inspection of the patchcord before connecting it to the OSCA.

When the system or device is switched on, never look directly into the in-

and output or into a connected optical fiber.

The devices which are tested can be rated in a higher laser class with

dangerous radiation. Observe their security instructions. Please heed the

normal precautions for working with lasers and consider local regulations.
