Page 28: Laser Safety Information
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Laser Safety Information General Laser Information Lightwave/lightguide systems, their associated test sets, and simi- lar operating systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared (IR) light at wavelengths between approximately 800 and 1600 nanometers. The emitted light is above the red end of the visible spectrum, which is normally not visible to the human eye.
Page 29: Classification Of Lasers
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide irradiance of the energy that reaches the retina is approximately or 100,000 times more than at the cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may cause retinal burn. The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in telecommuni- cations is thermal in origin, i.e., damage caused by heating.
Page 30: Lightwave Safety Precautions
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Lightwave Safety Precautions In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. It is a Class I/1 system under the IEC and FDA classifications. The lightguide cables that interconnect various components of a lightwave system can disconnect or break, and may expose people to lightwave emission.
Page 31: Safety Precautions For Unenclosed Systems
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Under no circumstances shall lightwave/lightguide operations be performed by a technician before satisfactorily completing an approved training course. Since viewing lightwave emission directly in excess of Class I/1 limits with an optical instrument such as an eye loupe greatly increases the risk of eye damage, technicians shall be trained never to use optical instruments to view a fiber or unterminated connector.
Page 32 365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Only authorized, trained personnel shall use the lightwave test equipment during installation or servicing since this equipment contains semiconductor lasers. (Some examples of lightguide test equipment are Optical Time Domain Reflectometers [OTDRs], Hand-Held Loss Test Sets, and Feature Finders.) Under no circumstances shall any personnel scan a fiber with an optical test set without verifying that all lightwave sources on the fiber are turned off.
Page 33: Installation Instructions
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Installation Instructions Environmental Considerations When deciding where the WaveStar™ AM 1 is to be located con- sider the following environmental requirements: The WaveStar™ AM 1 must not be exposed either to solar radiation/direct sunlight or to heat radiation. It should be located to allow for convection cooling.
Page 34: Rack Mounting The Unit
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Rack Mounting the Unit To rack mount the WaveStar™ AM 1 do the following: Adjust the mounting brackets for the width of the frame. Note that the brackets may be attached to the rear of the base assembly at different points to account for varying frame widths.
Page 35: Connecting Power
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Connecting Power Note: Measure the voltage of the power supply (-48 to -60 VDC) before connecting to the AM 1 unit. Do not apply power until all connections have been secured and verified. The power and independent frame ground shall be connected to the locations identified on the unit.
Page 36: Grounding Option
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Grounding Option When it is required to interconnect earth ground ( ) to RTN, a jumper wire can be added externally between positions 5 and 6 (the bottom two positions) of the terminal block (see Figure 2). The jumper shall be 18 AWG (0.82 mm ) stranded wire.
Page 37: Connecting E1 Tributaries
365-372-201 WaveStar™ AM 1 User Guide Connecting E1 Tributaries The routing of the E1 tributaries should be in accordance with the recommended practices of the cable selected. Cables should be strain relieved to prevent any force from being exerted on the con- nectors.
