About the 8000 V2 Platform
The architecture of the 8000 V2 Platform is based on the superimposition
of modules and receptacles to accommodate interchangeable plug-in
measurement units.
By the addition of modules and receptacles, a lightweight field instrument
can be converted into a complete apparatus with a high-level of performance and functions for the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of fiber networks.

This chapter gives the main information on the safety conditions when
using the 8000 V2 Platform:
– “Battery and AC/DC safety information” on page 8
– “Precautions relating to optical connections” on page 8
– “Laser Safety instructions” on page 9
User Manual 78100000202 Rev. 003 7
Chapter 2 Safety information
Battery and AC/DC safety information
Battery and AC/DC safety information
– The Li-Ion battery is designed for maximum safety.
In particular, each cell is provided with a safety valve to prevent excessive internal pressure in the event of overcharging or exposure to very
high temperatures.
– Battery supplied by Viavi incorporate protection means.
Do not use any mains adaptor or battery other than those supplied with
the instrument, or supplied by Viavi as an option for this instrument.
If another adapter or battery is used, it may damage the 8000 V2 Platform itself.
Using the 8000 V2 Platform with a battery other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer of the 8000 V2 Platform may entail risks of fire or explosion.
The battery may explode, leak or catch fire:
– if it is exposed to high temperature or fire
– if it is opened or dismantled.
Other basic safety precautions are as follows:
– Do not use AC/Adapter/Charger outdoors or in wet or damp loca-
tions
– Connect the AC/Adapter/Charger to the correct mains voltage, as
indicated on the ratings label.
– Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate
the product where people can walk on the power cord.
– Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric chock from lightning.
– Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or in any explo-
sive environment.
– Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous, high voltage points
and other hazards. Contact qualified service personnel for all
service.
Precautions relating to optical connections
– The normal operating life of an optical connector is usually of the
order of a few hundred manipulations. It is then advisable to manipulate the optical connections of the Platform as rarely as possible.

ment are dependent on the cleanliness of the environment and the
optical connectors as well as the care taken in its manipulation.
– The optical connectors must therefore be clean and dust-free. If the
optical connection is not being used, protect the connections of
8000 V2 Platform using the protective caps.
Laser Safety instructions
The provisions contained in two standards define the safety procedures
to be observed both by users and by manufacturers when utilizing laser
products:
– EN 60825-1: 2001 - Safety of laser products – Part 1: Classification
of products, requirements and user guidelines.
– FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10 - Performance standards for light-emitting
products - Laser products.
Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values and injection
characteristics of a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The
laser classes form groups representing different safety thresholds.

Standards EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 and FDA21CFR§1040.10:
– VFL option: Class 2.
Due to the reduced dimensions of the optical modules, it is not possible
to attach the required warning labels to them. In line with the provisions
of Article 5.1 of the EN 60825-1 standard, the laser class identification
labels are shown below:

Class 2
The user must take the necessary precautions concerning the optical
output of the instrument and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Measurements on optical fibers are difficult to execute and the
precision of the results obtained depends largely on the
precautions taken by the user.
