Safety Information
2. SAFETY INFORMATION
The safety information contained in this section, and on other pages of this manual, must be
observed whenever this module is operated, serviced, or repaired. Failure to comply with any
precaution, warning, or instruction noted in the manual is in violation of the standards of
design, manufacture, and intended use of the module. Optelecom-NKF assumes no liability
for the customer’s failure to comply with any of these safety requirements.
2.1. Trained Personnel
Installation, adjustment, maintenance, and repair of this equipment are to be performed by
trained personnel aware of the hazards involved. For correct and safe use of the equipment
and in order to keep the equipment in a safe condition, it is essential that both operating and
servicing personnel follow standard safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions
and warnings specified in this manual, and that this module be installed in locations
accessible to trained service personnel only.
2.2. Safety Requirements
The equipment described in this manual has been designed and tested according to the
UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 safety requirements. If there is any doubt regarding the safety of the
equipment, do not put it into operation. This might be the case when the equipment shows
physical damage or is stressed beyond tolerable limits (e.g. during storage and
transportation).
Before opening the equipment, disconnect it from all power sources. The equipment must be
powered by a SELV*power supply. This is equivalent to a Limited Power source (LPS, see
UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 clause 2.5) or a “NEC Class 2” power supply.
When this module is operated in extremely elevated temperature conditions, it is possible for
internal and external metal surfaces to become extremely hot.
2.3. Optical Safety (C-54 E-MC /SFP)
This optical equipment contains Class 1M lasers or LEDs and has been designed and tested to
meet IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2 and IEC 60825-2:2004 safety class 1M requirements.
Optical equipment presents potential hazards to testing and servicing personnel owing to high
levels of optical radiation. When using magnifying optical instruments, avoid looking directly
into the output of an operating transmitter or into the end of a fiber connected to an operating
transmitter, or there will be a risk of permanent eye damage.Precautions should be taken to
prevent exposure to optical radiation when the unit is removed from its enclosure or when
the fiber is disconnected from the unit. The optical radiation is invisible to the eye.
*SELV: conforming to IEC 60950-1, <60VDC output, output voltage galvanically isolated from mains. All power supplies or power supply
cabinets available from Optelecom-NKF comply with these SELV requirements.

Safety Information
Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the label depicted below (background: yellow;
border and text: black) is present in the restricted locations where this equipment is
installed.
2.4. EMC
The equipment has been tested and found to meet the CE-regulations relating to EMC, and it
complies with the limits for a Class B device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference to radio
communications in any installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy; improper use or special circumstances may cause interference to other
equipment or a performance decrease due to interference radiated by other equipment. In
such cases, the user will have to take appropriate measures to reduce such interactions
between this and other equipment.
Any interruption of the shielding inside or outside the equipment could make the equipment
more prone to fail EMC requirements.
Non-video signal lines must use appropriate shielded CAT5 cabling (S-FTP), or at least an
equivalent.
Ensure that all electrically connected components are carefully earthed and protected
against surges (high voltage transients caused by switching or lightning).
2.5. ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Proper
precautions should be taken against ESD when opening the equipment.
2.6. Care and Maintenance
The encoder will normally need no maintenance. In order to keep the module operating
reliably, please observe the following.
Prevent dust from collecting on the module.
Do not expose the equipment to moisture.
Keep the module within the appropriate temperature range as described in the technical
specification (section 3.3).
Hazard Level 1M

Safety Information
2.7. Product Disposal
Recycling
The unit contains valuable materials which qualify for recycling. In the interest of
protecting the natural environment, properly recycling the unit at the end of its
service life is imperative.
Battery
When processing the printed circuit board, dismantling the lithium battery calls for special
attention. This kind of battery, a button cell type, contains so little lithium, that it will never
be classified as reactive hazardous waste. It is safe for normal disposal, as required for
batteries by your local authority.
