SAFETY WARNINGS
LASER RADIATION
The OTEA-CO-B EDFA emits invisible radiation that can cause permanent eye damage.
Operate the EDFA only with the proper optical fiber installed in
the optical connector. Power to the OTEA-CO-B EDFA should be turned off or preferably,
disconnected whenever the optical connector cover is opened and there is no installed fiber (as
when the fiber connector is being installed or removed from the optical connector). When the
amplifier is working in normal state, the output power of light with wavelengths in the invisible range
infrared light) may exceed +26dBm (400mW). Therefore, to avoid damaging your eyes, do not
look into the output port of the EDFAdirectly.
look at the end of the fiber to see if light is coming out Most fiber optic laser
wavelengths (1310nm and 1550nm) are totally invisible to the unaided eye and will cause
permanent damage. Always use instruments, such as an optical power meter, to verify light output.
magnifying glasses microscopes, etc.
look into the output of the EDFA or a fiber connected to an EDFA
clean an optical connector with optical power present.
look into or use any optical instrument to view the distant end of a fiber that may be
connected directly or via an optical splitter, to a transmitter or EDFA that may be operating. This
specifically applies to fibers that are to be connected to receivers (such as the OTPN-2000C) or
other devices at any distance from the laser transmitter or EDFA.
read the product data sheet and the laser safety label before powering the product
Note the operation wavelength, optical output power and safety classifications. If safety goggles or
other eye protection are used, be certain that the protection is effective at the wavelength emitted
by the device under test
applying power.
connect a fiber to the output of the device power is applied. Power should
never be applied without an attached fiber. If the device has a connector output, a connector should
be attached that is connected to a fiber. This will ensure that all light is confined within the fiber
waveguide, virtually eliminating all potential hazard.
The OTEA-CO-B EDFA contains no user serviceable parts. There is exposed high voltage inside
this unit. Only authorized factory service technicians should open the unit with power applied.
The OTEA-CO-B EDFA is designed for indoor use only. Direct exposure to moisture must be
avoided. If you have questions about laser safety procedures, please call Olson Technology before
powering your product. The fiber amplifier is sensitive equipment. Do not open the case of the
amplifier to avoid damaging the internal component devices. Opening the case of the amplifier
without the written permission of Olson Technology, Inc., will void the warranty.
