FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment uses, generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed in

accordance with the operator’s manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user

will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNI NG: Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Industry Canada Compliance Statement

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital

iv SSR 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the

equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as

prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The

department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the

facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an

acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above

conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give

the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power

utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This

precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. CAUTION: Users should not attempt to

make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or

electrician, as appropriate.

NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an

indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The

termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement

that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

VCCI Compliance Statement

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by

Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment,

radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective

actions.

Safety Information: Class 1 Laser Transceivers

SSR 8000/8600 Getting Started Guide v

Safety Information: Class 1 Laser Transceivers

This product may use Class 1 laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before

installing or operating this product.

The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This

control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set and

does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety

standards:

• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA)

• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission)

• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization)

When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1

accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered

hazardous.

Laser Radiation and Connectors

When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of

radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is –12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.

Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the

optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2

or 8 x 103W m2sr–1.

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view

laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed

from the network adapter.
