Safety Precautions
Optical Fiber Precautions
WARNING: Cleaved or broken glass fibers are very sharp and can
pierce the skin or damage the eyes easily. Do not let pieces of fiber
stick to your clothing or drop in the work area where they can cause
injury later. Use tweezers to pick up pieces of fiber and place them
on a loop of tape kept for that purpose alone. Good housekeeping
is very important.
Chemical Precautions
CAUTION: Fiber Optic Cleaning Fluid can cause irritation to eyes on
contact. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water
for at least 15 minutes. Inhaling fumes may be harmful. Use with
adequate ventilation. In case of ingestion, consult a physician.
Laser Handling Precautions
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be
carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can damage your
eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will
not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently,
serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible. Should accidental
eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye
examination immediately.
Safety Glasses Precautions
CAUTION: Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles)
conforming to ANSI Z87, for eye protection from accidental injury
when handling chemicals, cables, or working with fiber. Pieces of
glass fiber are very sharp and have the potential to damage the eye.
Laser Safety
The High-Performance UniCam
requirements contained in IEC 60825-1:1993 plus Amendments
1:1997 and 2:2001. Pmax < 1.0 mW, λ = 635 nm
DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS (MAGNIFIERS).
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Cable Handling Precautions
NOTE: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing
forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing.
Do not bend the cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend
radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not
crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter
the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
