ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used thr oughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause s evere personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed ov er any radiating trans ceiv er or optical fiber connec tor to avoid
the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt
particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.
Do not assume laser power is turned-off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing
or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use
electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
Warning: The HU is powered by 48 VDC power which is supplied over customer-provided
wiring. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the HU power wiring,
disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals.
Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails
without severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails ma y be permane ntly damaged if be nt
or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (50 mm).
