EMS Wireless Operator’s Manual

EkoLink II

Food and Drug Administration. This laser product complies with 21 CFR,

Chapter I, Subchapter J of the DHEW standards under the Radiation Control

for Health and Safety Act of 1968. The laser module certification label is

located on the equipment enclosure and it also shows the required DANGER

warning logotype (as shown below).

The EMS Wireless laser products are used in optical fiber communications

systems for radio frequency and microwave frequency analog fiber optic

links. In normal operation, these systems are fully enclosed and fully

shielded by the hermetically sealed laser metal package. Laser bias current

is limited by the internal control circuitry. The transmitters are coupled to

glass fiber and have 1310 nm optical output wavelength with typically 0.5 to

20 mW output depending on the model. The optical radiation is confined to

the fiber core. Under these conditions, there is no accessible laser emission

and hence no hazard to safety or health.

Since there is no human access to the laser output during system operation,

no special operator precautions are necessary when fiber is connected to the

transmitter and receiver. During installation, service, or maintenance, the

service technician is warned, however, to take precautions which include not

looking directly into the fiber connector or the fiber which is connected to the

fiber connector before it is connected to the fiber optic receiver. The light

emitted from the fiber optic connector or any fiber connected to the

connector is invisible and may be harmful to the human eye. Use either an

optical power meter or an infrared viewer or fluorescent screen for optical

output verification. All handling precautions as outlined by the FDA and

ANSI Z136.2 and other authorities of class IIIb lasers must be observed.

Do not attempt to modify or to service this Product. Contact the EMS

Wireless Customer Support Department for a return authorization if service

or repair is necessary.
