2.4. Operation Instructions

Start-up Procedure
1. After plugging in the appropriate power plug into the AC Power Socket, flip the rear
panel Main AC Power Switch to the On position to enable electrical power to the
unit. The LED Main Display will turn on.
Note: For units that do not have the front panel enable switch activated, the lasers will also be
enabled at this time as well.
2. Connect the optical output port(s) using the indicated connector patchcords to the
appropriate signal destination to utilize the laser output signal(s).
NOTE: Make sure you use the correct type of patchcord to minimize losses when connecting the optical output to
its destination. Special patchcords are designed for wavelengths such as 850nm and 980nm to ensure maximum
light coupling. Please contact Optilab for more details and ordering options.
3. After checking all physical patchcord connections, turn the front panel Laser Power
Switch to the ON position to enable optical output from the DFB-B.
4. The front panel LCD Indicators will show the output of each laser channel; the
DFB-B is now ready for operation.
Optical Output and Wavelength Adjustment Procedure (Front Panel)
1. To adjust the optical output level or the TEC temperature setting for the DFB lasers,
please reference the below front panel main screen. Press anywhere in any of the
blue boxes to go to the settings page for that channel. Pressing the "INFO" button
take you to the system information page. Return to this page at any time by
