IM AQ7280-02EN

Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury or death.

WARNING

Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose

This optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical characteristics of light sources and evaluate their performance. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as an optical measuring instrument.

Check the Physical Appearance

Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.

AC Adapter

Do not use the other than AC adapter designed exclusively for the AQ7280.

Battery Pack

Only use the AQ7280 battery pack. Do not use this battery pack with other instruments. Only use the AQ7280 to charge the battery pack. If the battery pack is still charging after 6 hours, stop charging it immediately. Your clothing may be damaged or you may be injured if you come in contact with the electrolyte due to fluid leakage or the battery pack exploding. Because the electrolyte may cause loss of eyesight, if it comes in contact with your eyes, immediately wash the affected area with clean water, and consult a doctor as soon as possible. When you change the battery pack, be sure to turn the AQ7280 off, and detach the AC adapter power supply from the AQ7280. Failure to do so may lead to electric shock or other accidents. Do not throw the battery pack into fire or heat it. Such actions are dangerous as they may cause the battery pack to explode or the electrolyte to be sprayed about. Follow the additional handling precautions that are included in the battery pack’s user’s manual.

Laser Beam

Do not look directly or indirectly into the laser beam or at a specular reflection of the beam without protective equipment. Do not aim the laser beam at the eye. The laser beam may cause blindness or damage to your eyes. Attach the cover to the optical connector when it is not in use. Turn the power OFF when you are cleaning the AQ7280.

Connecting Optical Fiber Cables

Use optical fiber cable connectors that conform to the included universal adapter (the universal adapter specified by the suffix code).

IM AQ7280-02EN

Apply Correct Signals to the Optical Connectors

Do not apply light that is –5 dBm or greater to the OTDR unit (AQ7282 series) optical connectors (PORT1 and PORT2). Doing so may damage the OTDR unit. Do not apply light that is +10 dBm or greater to the OPM module (AQ2780, AQ2780V). Do not apply light that is +27 dBm or greater to the high power OPM module (AQ2781, AQ2781V). Doing so may damage the OPM module.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not use the instruments in the presence of flammable gasses or vapors. Doing so is extremely dangerous.

Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument

Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the instrument.

Installation Position

Handling the stand without firmly supporting the instrument can be dangerous. Only handle the stand when the instrument is on a stable surface.

CAUTION

Operating Environment Limitations

This product is a Class A (for industrial environments) product. Operation of this product in a residential area may cause radio interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference.

AVERTISSEMENT

Utiliser l’instrument aux seules fins prévues

Cet instrument de mesure optique est prévu pour mesurer les caractéristiques optiques des sources lumineuses et évaluer leur performance. Ne pas utiliser cet instrument à d’autres fins que celles de mesure optique.

Inspecter l’apparence physique

Ne pas utiliser l’instrument si son intégrité physique semble être compromise.

Adaptateur c.a.

Utiliser exclusivement l’adaptateur c.a. prévu pour l’AQ7280.

Pack de batteries

Utiliser exclusivement le pack de batteries de l’AQ7280. Ne pas utiliser ce pack de batteries avec d’autres instruments. Recharger le pack de batteries à l’aide de l’AQ7280 uniquement. Si le pack de batteries est encore en charge au bout de 6 heures, interrompre la charge. Tout contact avec l’électrolyte échappé en raison d’une fuite ou d’une explosion du pack de batteries peut endommager les vêtements ou causer des blessures. L’électrolyte peut entraîner la cécité, par conséquent, en cas de contact avec les yeux, rincer immédiatement à l’eau et consulter un médecin dans les plus brefs délais. Lors du remplacement du pack de batteries, toujours mettre l’AQ7280 hors tension et débrancher l’adaptateur c.a. de l’AQ7280. Le non-respect de cette consigne peut entraîner un choc électrique ou tout autre accident. Tenir le pack de batteries éloigné de toute source de chaleur et des flammes pour éviter le risque d’explosion du pack de batteries ou de déversement d’électrolyte. Respecter les consignes de manipulation supplémentaires fournies dans le manuel d’utilisation du pack de batteries.

Faisceau laser

Ne pas fixer directement ou indirectement le faisceau laser, ni la réflexion spéculaire du faisceau en l’absence d’équipement de protection. Ne pas orienter le faisceau laser en direction des yeux. Le faisceau laser peut entraîner la cécité ou causer des lésions oculaires. Recouvrir le connecteur optique à l’aide du cache pendant les périodes de nonutilisation. Mettre l’AQ7280 HORS tension pendant son nettoyage.

IM AQ7280-02EN

Connexion des câbles à fibre optique

Utiliser des connecteurs de câbles à fibre optique conformes à l’adaptateur universel fourni (adaptateur universel indiqué par le suffixe).

Envoyer les signaux corrects aux connecteurs optiques

Ne pas appliquer de signal de –5 dBm ou plus aux connecteurs optiques de l’unité OTDR (série AQ7282) (PORT1 et PORT2). Cela pourrait endommager l’unité OTDR. Ne pas appliquer de signal de +10 dBm ou plus au module OPM (AQ2780, AQ2780V). Ne pas appliquer de signal de +27 dBm ou plus au module OPM haute puissance (AQ2781, AQ2781V). Cela pourrait endommager le module OPM.

Ne pas utiliser dans un environnement explosif

Ne pas utiliser l’instrument en présence de gaz ou de vapeurs inflammables. Cela pourrait être extrêmement dangereux.

Ne pas retirer le capot, ni démonter ou modifier l’instrument

Seul le personnel YOKOGAWA qualifié est habilité à retirer le capot et à démonter ou modifier l’instrument. Certains composants à l’intérieur de l’instrument sont à haute tension et par conséquent, représentent un danger.
