IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Important Safeguards

ATX Networks strongly advises you to read the following safety instructions prior to installing and operating this equipment.

• Read These Instructions First – All safety and operating instructions should be read before installing or operating
this equipment.

• Retain This User Manual – Safety and operating instructions must be retained for future reference.

• Ventilation – The optical node should be kept at a distance from other objects to keep from overheating. Maximum
operating ambient temperature is 131°F (55°C).

• Power Sources – The mains circuit should be a dedicated, un-switched supply. Keep the unit away from high voltage

or other interference creating devices such as motors, compressors, etc.

CAUTION: For continued protection against risk of fi re, replace circuit breakers/fuses
(if necessary) with one of only the same type and rating.

CHAPTER 1: IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

OPTICAL OUTPUT SAFETY: Optical compact node units may emit harmful invisible laser

radiation if powered on and the case is opened or the beam path is exposed.

CAUTION

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION

DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY
WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENT
CLASS 1M LASER PRODUCT

The ATX Networks’ QFHPN compact node is classi ed as Class 1M per IEC/EN 60825-1/A2:2001. This product complies with
FDA/CDRH, 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50 dated 26 July, 2001.

Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magni ers and Miniscopes) within a distance
of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.

Laser power up to 26 mW at 1310 nm could be accessible if optical connector is open or  ber is broken. Lasers are Powered

ON whenever the unit is powered.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specifi ed herein
may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
