SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASSIFICATION
The OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module consists of a metal chassis that is directly connected
to earth when plugged into the X-BERT chassis.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following safety instructions must be observed whenever the unit is operated, serviced, or
repaired. Failure to comply with any of these instructions or with any precaution or warning contained
in the user’s manual is in direct violation of the standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of
the unit. Luceo Technologies GmbH assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with any
of these safety requirements.
BEFORE INITIALIZING AND OPERATING THE UNIT
Inspect the unit for any signs of damage, and read the user’s manual thoroughly.
Install the unit as specified in the Getting Started section.

OPERATING THE UNIT
Warning
To avoid the risk of injury or death, always observe the following precautions before initializing the
unit:
Use the Module ONLY in the X-BERT or PARALLEX ® mainframe.
Willfully interrupting the protective earth connection is prohibited.
Never look into the end of an optical cable connected to an optical output device that is
operating. Laser radiation is invisible, and direct exposure can severely injure the human eye.
Turning off the power to the device does not always block the externally supplied radiation to
the connector at the input of the unit.
Do not use the unit outdoors.
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any source of excessive
moisture.
Do not operate the unit when its covers or panels have been removed.
Do not interrupt the protective earth grounding. Any such action can lead to a potential shock
hazard that can result in serious personal injury.
Do not operate the unit if an interruption to the protective grounding is suspected. In this case,
ensure that the unit remains inoperative.
Do not attempt to adjust or perform any maintenance or repair procedure when the unit is
opened and connected to a power source.
Repairs are to be carried out only by a qualified professional.
Do not attempt any adjustment, maintenance, or repair procedure to the unit’s internal
mechanism if immediate first aid is not accessible.
Disconnect the power cord from the unit before adding or removing any components.
Operating the unit in the presence of flammable gases or fumes is extremely hazardous.
Do not perform any operating or maintenance procedure that is not described in the user’s
manual.
Some of the unit’s capacitors can be charged even when the unit is not connected to the
power source.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module is build for use in the X-BERT mainframe, which has
a modular setup depending on the user’s configuration (E-BERT-, O-BERT-, Clock Source-, Clock
divider-, CDR-, OPM-, VOA-, OSW-, PHS- module, etc…). The mainframe is controlled via GPIB, USB
or LAN.
The OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module is the ideal module to split an available clock signal
(400MHz to 850MHz) with good jitter and noise performance up to 6 channels. Every channel can be
used to set up an independent delay time up to ± 200ps. In combination with the E-BERT module a
parallel test setup is available for certain high speed measurements.
The delay time is selectable in 10ps steps for every channel using the buttons on the front panel and
in 1ps steps by the X-BERT GUI. All settings are controllable by the X-BERT graphical user interfaces
(X-BERT PARALLEX GUI) via controller interface. The programming commands for controlling the
OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module are documented in the GPIB programmer’s guide.
Please take a look at our website www.luceotec.com for newly released modules; we are constantly
expanding our product spectrum.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE INITIALIZING AND OPERATING THE UNIT
Inspect the unit for any signs of damage.
Read the user’s manual thoroughly, and become familiar with all safety symbols and
instructions to ensure that the unit is operated and maintained safely.
INITIAL INSPECTION
Check that the unit and contents are complete:
Wear an anti-static wrist strap, and work in an electrostatic discharge (ESD) controlled area.
Inspect the shipping container for any indication of excessive shock to the contents, and
inspect the contents to ensure that the shipment is complete.
Inspect the unit for structural damage that can have occurred during shipping.
Keep the packaging.
Immediately inform Luceo Technologies GmbH and, if necessary, the carrier if the contents
of the shipment is incomplete, if the unit or any of its components are damaged or defective,
or if the unit does not pass the initial inspection.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
In order for the unit to meet the specifications, the operating environment must meet the following
conditions for temperature, humidity and ventilation.
TEMPERATURE
The unit can be operated in the temperature range of 0 to 50 °C.
HUMIDITY
The unit can be operated in environments with up to 85% humidity (10 to 50 °C). Do not expose it to
any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can cause condensation to
form inside the unit.
VENTILATION
The unit contains holes to achieve airflow to transport the heat out of the module. Do not place any
stickers or labels on the module cover which will reduce the airflow. Blocking the air circulation of the
unit can cause the unit to overheat, compromising its reliability and possibly leading to permanent
damage.
Warning
Do not use the unit outdoors.
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any
source of excessive moisture.
Warning To avoid electrical shock, do not initialize or operate the unit if it shows
any sign of damage to any portion of its exterior surface, such as the outer cover
or panels.
