Ventilation of the product
Your safety may be compromised if you do not use the product in
accordance with the instructions given in this manual and on the labels
located on the product.
Safety Label Description
Laser Warning Labels
The warning symbol indicates the location of the laser
source. It is accompanied by an explanatory label.
Class 1M Laser Product
The product has a built-in light source, which makes it a
class 1M laser product, as defined by the standard on
safety of laser products (see section Certification and
Compliance, p. 59). This means that it is safe under all
conditions of normal use except when viewed with
optical instruments such as microscopes and telescopes.
Class 1M lasers produce large-diameter beams, or
beams that are divergent.
Electrical Safety Label
This label indicates an injury hazard. It appears on a
location that requires special instructions for proper use:
you must consult the documentation before using the
element of the product where this symbol is marked
(see section Unpacking and Installing the Product,
p. 21).
•Make sure there is sufficient clearance below and at the back of the
product to ensure proper ventilation. The apertures (under the product)
and the fan (behind the product) are used for the inside ventilation.
•If you plan to rack-mount this product, make sure to allow at least a 15-
mm (0.6 inches) gap between two products.

Laser Safety
Electrical Safety
•The use of controls or adjustments not specified herein as well as the
performance of unauthorized procedures may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
•The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye
hazard. Do not under any circumstances look directly into the fiber end
of an optical cable attached to the optical output while the device is in
use for this may cause permanent eye damage and possible loss of
eyesight. Note that the laser radiation is not visible to the human eye,
therefore, protective cap must always be replaced on the laser output
connector after use to avoid involuntary exposure to laser radiation.
•Disable the laser output before connecting or disconnecting a fiber
optic cable on the product.
Power Supply Safety Requirements
•Make sure the product power source does not apply more than 265
Volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either of the
supply conductors and the ground.
•To avoid the possibility of injury, make sure the socket outlet in which
the power supply cord will be plugged is equipped with a protective
ground contact, and that the electrical installation fulfills the local safety
requirements.
•The TUNICS T100S-HP has a chassis connected to ground via the power
supply cable. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
•To avoid fire hazard, only use the correct fuse type, voltage and current
ratings (see section Technical Specifications, p. 12).
To avoid personal injury, do not operate this equipment without the
protective cover of the chassis. Do not make any service or maintenance of
any kind to the system.
The TUNICS T100S-HP is not designed for outdoor use. To avoid the
possibility of injury, do not expose the product to rain or excessive moisture.
Do not operate the product in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
