Chapter 1 Introducing the 4000 Base Unit Terminology used in this manual Terminology used in this manual To designate the modules making up the 4000 Base Unit, the following conventions have been adopted: – User Interface Module designates the module comprising the screen and controls.
Failure to do so may compromise the protection offered by the instru- ments design. The 4000 Base Unit is supplied with a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. Do not use any mains adaptor or battery other than those supplied with the instrument, or supplied by JDSU as an option for this instru- ment.
Chapter 1 Introducing the 4000 Base Unit Architecture If another adapter or battery is used, it may damage the 4000 Base Unit itself. Using the 4000 Base Unit with batteries other than those supplied by the manufacturer of the 4000 Base Unit may entail risks of fire or explosion.
Maximum configuration of the 4000 Base Unit In addition to the user interface module, the 4000 Base Unit can include one big module, one small module and the other one empty, or two small modules.

Centre, which will undertake the appropriate troubleshooting and repair work. The performance and technical complexity of the 4000 Platform class this instrument in a new generation of equipment, for which JDSU has laid down a maintenance policy based on the principle of standard module replacement.
– The normal operating life of an optical connector is usually of the order of a few hundred manipulations. It is therefore advisable to manipulate the optical connections of the 4000 Platform as rarely as possible. – The proper operation of the instrument and its accuracy of measure- ment are dependent on the cleanliness of the environment and the optical connectors as well as the care taken in its manipulation.
Do not interrupt the installation process, as this could damage the instrument. To avoid any interruption of the installation procedure, the 4000 Plat- form must be operating on the mains: if the procedure is started while operating on battery, a message indicates that the instrument must be connected to the mains.
