Maintenance

No maintenance procedures are required for the LDM-4616 other than an
occasional cleaning, as needed, to remove any accumulated dust or dirt from the
external surfaces. The socket lead clamps should be left closed to improve
contact reliability. It is recommended that dust caps be left on both sides of the
front panel mating adapters when not in use.
Safety
Laser diodes used with the LDM-4616 Laser Diode Mount may emit infrared
radiation which is invisible to the human eye. Viewing of emissions from the fiber
may cause eye damage. Extreme care must be taken to prevent the beam from
being viewed either directly or through external optics or mirrors. Be sure all laser
fibers, connectors and mating adapters (like on the front panel of the mount) are
connected or capped before turning on any lasers. Use of protective goggles is
recommended when operating these lasers.
