Chapter 2 Safety information

Battery and AC/DC safety information

Battery and AC/DC safety information
• 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.
• 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 2000 Platform itself. Using the 2000 Platform with a battery other than the one supplied by the manufacturer of the 2000 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 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.

Chapter 2 Safety information

Precautions relating to optical connections

• 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 2000 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.

Laser classes

Standards EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 and FDA21CFR§1040.10:

Stratasync is a new solution that provides network operators with an agile and centralized way to manage and analyze data from thousands of deployed Viavi test instruments directly from the cloud.
StrataSync is a hosted, cloud-based software application that provides Viavi instrument asset, configuration, and test-date management.
StrataSync improves technician and instrument efficiency.
StrataSync allows to:
• Manages and tracks test instruments
• Collects and analyzes results from the entire network
• Informs and trains the workforce

Configuring and synchronizing the 2000 Platform

Pre-requisites for using the Stratasync with the 2000 Platform
The user must have subscribed to Stratasync, and by consequence, he must have acquired an account Identifier and a password.
The Ethernet and Proxy parameters must have been correctly configured in the System Settings page of the 2000 Platform (see “Ethernet > Mode”
on page 67 and “Proxy > Use proxy” on page 68).
Configuring and synchronizing the 2000 Platform
The 2000 Platform can be configured to be synchronized with the Strata­sync.
1 Press Settings in the Home page
2 Check the configuration of the Ethernet and Proxy parameters.
3 Configure the Stratasync parameters:
a In the Server Type parameter, the Viavi Server is selected by
default and it is recommended to keep this parameter. However, the user can select if necessary the Server Name parameter and enter the name in the following parameter.
b In the Account ID parameter, enter the same identifier as the
one used to access to Stratasync.
c The Technician ID parameter is automatically fulfilled after
synchronization (if it has been defined by the administrator of the Stratasync)
d To upload the files from a directory onto the 2000 Platform
toward Stratasync, select the parameter Upload from and press right arrow key to enter the directory path (example: disk/ Stratasync). The directory Stratasync is defined by default.
