Certification Information
North America Regulatory Statement
This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the
United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable
North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada
and the United States.
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in

CAUTION
For IQS platforms,
this unit is for indoor use only.
keep all ventilation openings clear and unobstructed.
CAUTION
When you use the unit outdoors, ensure that it is protected from
liquids, dust, direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure.
CAUTION
Except for the Dual Bantam connector and the RJ-48C port, all
telecom (electrical) interfaces are SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
circuitry intended for intra-building use only.
CAUTION
For the Dual Bantam connector and the RJ-48C ports, use only No.
26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord to reduce the risk of
fire.
CAUTION
No user serviceable parts are contained inside. Contact the
manufacturer regarding service of this equipment.
IMPORTANT
All wiring and installation must be in accordance with local building
and electrical codes acceptable to the authorities in the countries
where the equipment is installed and used.
Plug-in modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. To
minimize the risk of damage, dissipate static electricity by touching
a grounded unpainted metal object
before removing, inserting, or handling the module.

If the FTB/IQS-88000 Power Blazer Series has been purchased at the same
time as the platform, the FTB/IQS-88000 Series module is pre-installed with
the appropriate software version.
Equipment Rules for 88100NGE/88100G
There is a limitation on the number of FTB/IQS-88100NGE/88100G modules
and Transport and Datacom modules that can run simultaneously on a
FTB-500 and IQS-600 platforms due to 40G/100G CFP power consumption,
the following equipping rules are mandatory. For example with a 8-slot
FTB-500 platform, two 88xx modules can run simultaneously with either
three 8105, one 8510B, or one 8510G.

Inserting and Removing Test Modules
CAUTION
Never insert or remove a module while the platform and its
expansion units (IQS-600) are turned on. This will result in
immediate and irreparable damage to both the module and
platform.
WARNING
When the laser safety light () is flashing on the platform, at
least one of your modules is emitting an optical signal. Please check
all modules, as it might not be the one you are currently using.

CFP Interface
CFP Interface
The FTB/IQS-88000 Series provides a CFP interface slot that can be used
with a CFP transceiver, or an EXFO’s CFP to CFP2 adapter module.
CAUTION
Before inserting an optical module into the CFP interface slot,
inspect the slot to make sure nothing is inside.
Note: Do not replace transceiver while the test is running to avoid distorting
results. First stop the test, replace the transceiver, select the connector type
(refer to Modify Structure Button on page 77), and then restart the test.
Note: To ensure proper optical module detection/validation, make sure that the
CFP screws are fully secured.
