ATTENTION: Optical Radiation!
If connected to a power supply, the sat-nms LFTXRX provides invisible laser radiation. The source is class 3R Laser diode as defined in DIN EN 60825-1:2001-11. P0=2mW, Lambda=1310nm. Never look into fibre-optical components like connectors or fibres. Use an infrared viewer, optical power meter or fluorescent screen for optical output verification.
Depending on the configuration of the LFTX- and the LFRX-cards, E2000 or FC/APC FOL-connectors are used. They are placed on the right side of the cards. Pay attention to the type of the connectors, only use single mode APC fibres with 8° angled polish. Otherwise the connectors or the fibres might be damaged.
Do not allow any dirt or foreign material to get into the optical connector bulkheads. This may cause damage to the polished optical connector end faces.
For details about the front panel operation of the sat-nms LFTX optical transmitter card and sat-nms LFRX optical receiver card please refer to the chapters Local operation LFRX Card and Local operation LFTX Card .
