The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the ringer equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

The SSR-HFX11-08 100Base-FX Module, SSR-GSX11-02 1000Base-LX Module, SSR-GLX19-02 1000Base-LX Module, SSR-HFX29-08 100Base-FX SMF Module, SSR-GLX70-01 1000Base-LLX module, SSR-2-SX 1000Base-SX Module, SSR-2-LX 1000Base-LX Module, SSR-2-LX70 1000Base-LX Module, and SSR-2-GSX system use Class 1 Laser transceivers. Read the following safety information before installing or operating these modules.

The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 Laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:

•21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).

•IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).

•CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).

When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1 accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

Laser Radiation and Connectors

When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.

Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the

optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
