7 Attention
Ensurethe package is not damaged. Ifthe equipmentis damaged dueto transportation or other reasons, please check
equipment thoroughly and don’t turn on if it looks damaged.
Before powering on, make sure that the ground terminals of the chassis and power socket are reliably grounded, and
the grounding resistance should be ＜4Ω, which can effectively protect against surges and static electricity.
Optical amplifier is a highly technical, professional equipment, its installation and debugging must be operated by
professional technicians. Read this manual carefully before operating to avoid damage to equipment caused by fault
operation or accident harm to the operator.
When installing and debugging optical equipment, invisible laser beams may be emitted inside the fiber
connector .Avoiding permanent harm to the body and eye, the fiber connector should not aim at the human body and
human should not look directly at the fiber connector with the naked eye!
There must be noshielding outsidetheventilation holes of thedevice. Poor ventilation will cause the index to decrease,
and in serious cases will cause damage to the device.

When cleaning the fiber end face, first confirm that the optical source is turned off.
When the fiber connector is not in use, put a dust cover to avoid dust pollution and keep the end surface of the optical
fiber clean.
When installing the fiber connector, apply appropriate force to avoid damage to the adapter. Otherwise, the output
optical power may decrease.
