CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

THE DELF3-UI FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE AND

DEL05-UI FDDI PORT INTERFACE MODULE USE CLASS 1 LASER

TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.

The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This

control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and

does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety

standards:

• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).

• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).

• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).

When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1

accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered

hazardous.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS

When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of

radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.

Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the

optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is

0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103W m2sr-1.

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view

laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be

removed from the network adapter.
