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.

Key principles
When connecting or disconnecting modules, focus on the following prin­ciples to ensure a secure connection and avoid damaging the connec­tors:
Alignment. Ensure that the holes on the corners of the Module or Battery Module are aligned with the holes on the component you are attaching it to. For example, if you are attaching the Optical Module to the base unit, ensure that the holes of the module are aligned with the holes on the base unit.
Parallel position. Ensure that you are holding the Module or Battery Module in a position parallel to the base unit or Module (as illustrated in
Figure 9 on page 15). If either module is held at even a slight angle, there
is a risk of damage to the connectors.
Proper torque. Ensure that you tighten the screw using the hex key (for the Module) or a flat blade screwdriver (for the Battery Module) until you feel a slight resistance, and then tighten it using an additional 1/4 turn. If you are using a torque wrench, apply 1.5 N-m (13.3 in-lb) to the final turn.
Required tools Large, flat blade screwdriver
You will need a large, flat blade screwdriver to remove and then replace the battery module on the base unit.
Hex key (provided)
A 5 mm hex key is provided in a groove on the inside panel of the battery module. This key is used to secure and then tighten the screws that connect the module to the base unit.

Chapter 3 Starting up
Hex Key groove
Fitting and removing a module carrier or a module
Torque wrench (optional)
If you want to ensure that you don’t apply too much pressure when connecting or disconnecting modules, you can optionally use a torque wrench capable of applying 1.5 N-m (13.3 in-lb). A torque wrench with the ability to apply up to 20 in-lb in 0.1 in-lb increments will be adequate. You will also need a 5 mm hex key bit for the wrench.

16 User Manual 78100000202 Rev. 003
Before disconnecting the Module from the base unit, review the “Key
principles” on page 12 for assembling the instrument. The same princi-
pals apply when disassembling the various components.
The disassembling also requires the same tools as the assembling process (see “Required tools” on page 12)
To remove the Module from a base unit
1 Verify that power is OFF on your base unit and that the power
adapter is unplugged.
2 Using the large flat blade screwdriver, loosen each of the 4 slotted
bolts on the back panel of the battery module (attached to the base unit), and then gently remove the battery module.
3 Use the provided hex key to loosen screws 1 through 4 in the
sequence illustrated in Figure 10 on page 15.
4 Turn the base unit over so the display is facing upwards.

Each end of the optical link must be provided with a 8000 V2 Platform equipped with the Talkset option.

VNC configuration

Before it can be remote-controlled, the 8000 V2 Platform must be config­ured as explained in “Remote Screen” on page 92 .

Connections

At each end of the fiber (see Figure 21 on page 37): connect the fiber to the Talkset port of the 8000 V2 Platform, either directly or through jumpers.
Remote screen via VNC is done via the data transfer feature, and on the same fiber as the optical telephone.

Establishing communication

On the caller 8000 V2 Platform, press the HOME button, then select and confirm the Talkset option:
1 If the remote instrument is ready to receive (on standby), the Data
icon turns orange, beeps are emitted, and the icon appears at the top of the screen: data transfer can now take place.
If the remote instrument is not ready to receive, the Data icon does not change color and a message is emitted.
2 Click next on Expert tools, Remote Display, and on Switch to
remote screen.

Overview

This feature enables you to verify that your optical connectors are in perfect shape and very clean condition.
The P5000i Digital Probe Microscope is a portable handheld microscope used to view and inspect both the bulkhead (female) and patch cord (male) sides of fiber connectors as well as other optical devices, such as transceivers.
The P5000i requires an FBPT inspection tip and is connected to the 8000 V2 Platform with a USB 2.0 connector.
Fig. 22 P5000i Probe components
Before using the P5000/P5000i scope, make sure the Bluetooth option has not been activated, even once, after the start of the MTS/T-BERD 8000 V2. If it has been activated, stop and restart the equipment before using the P5000/P5000i Scope.

Installation of tips

The Pass/Fail analysis function on the 8000 V2 Platform can only be used with certain inspection tips mounted on the P5000i.
Seven tips, patchcords and bulkheads types, are delivered with the
