HD-EO-2

6 Laser safety precautions

Guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
All the available EO units in the flashlink
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at 1310 nm or 1550 nm. This means that the human eye
cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye. (The human
eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power
and exposure time), therefore:
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink
All the laser module cards in the flashlink
laser products according to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to
21 CFR 1040.10 when used in normal operation.
More details can be found in the user manual for the FR-2RU-10-2 frame.

Note!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBER
PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBER.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR EYE
LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBER END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT
1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm.
