2-2 Installing the Module MPW-1 MP-4100 Ver. 2.0
MPW-1 modules equipped with RAD-supplied SFP plug-in modules comply with
laser product performance standards set by government agencies for Class 1 laser
products. The modules do not emit hazardous light, and the beam is totally enclosed
during all operating modes of customer operation and maintenance.
Third-party SFP optical transceivers may be also used, provided they are
approved by an internationally recognized regulatory agency, and comply with
the national laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser equipment. However, RAD
strongly recommends ordering the MPW-1 with RAD SFPs, as this permits full
performance testing of the supplied equipment.
MPW-1 modules are shipped with protective covers installed on all the optical
connectors. Keep the covers for reuse, to reinstall the cover over the optical
connector as soon as the optical cable is disconnected.
SFPs installed on MPW-1 modules may be equipped with a laser diode. In such
cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be
attached near the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also
attached.
For your safety:
• Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact
and is connected to the optical transmitter.
• Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors.
• Do not look straight at the laser beam, and do not look directly into the
optical connectors while the module is operating.
• Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current.
• The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
Laser power up to 1 mW could be collected by an optical instrument.
• Use of controls or adjustment or performing procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!
Installing an SFP
When installing an optical SFP in an operating module, be aware that it may
immediately start generating laser radiation.
During the installation of an SFP with optical interfaces, make sure that all the
optical connectors are closed by protective caps.
Do not remove the covers until you are ready to connect optical fibers to the
connectors. Be aware that when inserting an SFP into a working module, the SFP
transmitter may start transmitting as soon as it is inserted.
All the following procedures are illustrated for typical SFPs with optical interfaces.
Your SFPs may look different.
