Chapter1 Safety information

This chapter gives the main information on the safety conditions when using the Smar­tOTDR:
• “Battery and AC/DC safety information” on page 2
• “Precautions relating to optical connections” on page 3
• “Laser Safety instructions” on page 3
User Manual 7SMART102 Rev004 1
Page 20
Chapter 1 Safety information

Battery and AC/DC safety information

Battery and AC/DC safety information
Li-Polymer battery
• The Li-Polymer 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.
AA Dry Battery Pack
Explosion danger
• Short-circuiting the batteries can result in overheating, explosion or ignition of the
batteries and their surroundings.
• Never short-circuit the battery contacts by touching both contacts simultaneously with an electrical conducting object.
• Only use AA size dry batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
• Battery supplied by Viavi incorporate protection means.
General precautions
• 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 SmartOTDR itself. Using the SmartOTDR with a battery other than the one supplied by the manufac­turer of the SmartOTDR 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.
• If you do not intend to use the platform for several weeks, it is advisable to remove the battery in order to prolong its useful life, and to recharge it fully before using it again.
• In case of communication problems with the battery, informed to the user, the battery charging information is no more actualized. Restart the equipment to restore the communication with battery.

Chapter 1 Safety information

Precautions relating to optical connections

Other basic safety precautions are as follows:
• Do not use AC/Adapter/Charger outdoors or in wet or damp locations
• 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 explosive 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.
• The proper operation of the instrument and its accuracy of measurement 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 SmartOTDR using the protective caps.
As an example, the results of measurements made with connectors that have not been cleaned will display an error of the order of 10% for all measurements. This error is addi­tional to other errors inherent in the measurement process and due, for example, to the quality of the fiber (circularity and concentricity), the means of connection (axis align­ment, distance between fiber faces, quality of fiber faces) and propagation modes.

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.
User Manual 7SMART102 Rev004 3
Page 22
Chapter 1 Safety information
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
Laser Safety instructions
• 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.

Laser classes

Standards EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 and FDA21CFR§1040.10:
• VFL option: Class 2.

Warning labels for the laser classes

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 60825­1 standard, the laser class identification labels are shown below:
Reference standard EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 FDA21CFR§1040.10
Class 1
Class 1M
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.
