1. Safety
Once connected to a transceiver, optical emissions from
optical connectors or from bare iber at the output of
AROONA-STAR equipments are produced by a laser and can
be hazardous to the eyes.
Don’t look directly at the optical cable core unless there is no
light source at the other end of that iber. An optical power
meter can be used to ensure there is no light travelling in the
iber.
For more information about the laser emission from transceivers
please refer to the relevant technical document.
Optical ibers are made of glass therefore can break easily
and so are a serious hazard. Proceed with care during splicing
operation making sure no glass gets into the skin as it could
cause serious irritations.
Washing hands after handling bare iber is essential.
Do not open or dismantle the internal AROONA-STAR
casing. The modal adapter is bounded to its box and must
be contained within it. Any opening or dismantling could
damage the equipment and will void warranty.
Handle AROONA-STAR equipments with care, do not pull nor
bend the output optical ibers.
To insure personnel safety Cailabs recommends installation of
AROONA-STAR to be carried on by two people.
Warning: to prevent injuries take precautions to guarantee
system stability while ixing the equipment to the iber cabinet.
All technical information within this manual is only valid if the
equipment in accordance to recommended conditions of use.
