AC Power supply
The OTU-5000 works with an AC/DC Converter.

The OTU5K can work with a single AC power supply or with 1+1 AC power supply.

Moreover, the power supply can be done either:

• on the front of the equipment, in which case a female 5 point connector must be
wired to the converter
or
• at the back of the equipment, in which case a female 3 points connector is wired
to the converter.

In both case, the converter is already wired to a female 3 points connector.

Chapter 3 Safety information

This chapter gives the main information on the safety conditions when using the OTU-
5000:
• “AC/DC safety information” on page 18
• “Precautions relating to optical connections” on page 18
• “Laser Safety instructions” on page 18

78COTU010, Rev. 003 17

Chapter 3 Safety information
AC/DC safety information

AC/DC safety information

Do not use any mains adaptor other than the one supplied with the instrument, or
supplied by VIAVI as an option for this instrument.

If another adapter is used, it may damage the OTU-5000 itself.

Other basic safety precautions are as follows:

• Do not use AC/Adapter outdoors or in wet or damp locations

• Connect the AC/Adapter to the correct mains voltage, as indicated on the ratings
label.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate the product
where people can walk on the power cord.
• Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or in any explosive environ-
ment.
• Take care fans may be accessible on each side of the product. Under normal
operation, no injury may occur to the user.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous, high voltage points and other hazards. This
includes replacement of specific rating fuse located on the product front panel.
Contact qualified service personnel for all service.

Precautions relating to optical connections

• The normal operating life of an optical connector is usually of the order of a few
hundred manipulations. It is then advisable to manipulate the optical connections
of the Platform as rarely as possible.
• The proper operation of the instrument and its accuracy of measurement are
dependent on the cleanliness of the environment and the optical connectors as
well as the care taken in its manipulation.
• The optical connectors must therefore be clean and dust-free. If the optical
connection is not being used, protect the connections of Attribute/Descriptor using
the protective caps.

Laser Safety instructions

The provisions contained in two standards define the safety procedures to be observed
both by users and by manufacturers when utilizing laser products:
• EN 60825-1: 2001 - Safety of laser products – Part 1: Classification of products,
requirements and user guidelines.
• FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10 - Performance standards for light-emitting products -
Laser products.

18 78COTU010, Rev. 003

Chapter 3 Safety information
Laser Safety instructions

Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values and injection characteristics of
a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser classes form groups repre-
senting different safety thresholds.

Laser classes
Standards EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 and FDA21CFR§1040.10:
• Refer to OTDR User manual for laser classes.

Warning labels for the laser classes

Due to the reduced dimensions of the optical modules, it is not possible to attach the
required warning labels to them. In line with the provisions of Article 5.1 of the EN
60825-1 standard, the laser class identification labels are shown below:

Standard Ref. EN 60825-1, Edition 1.2, 2001-08 FDA21CFR§1040.10

CLASS 1
Class 1
LASER PRODUCT

Class 1M

Class 2

The user must take the necessary precautions concerning the optical output of the
instrument and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Measurements on optical fibers are difficult to execute and the precision of the
results obtained depends largely on the precautions taken by the user.

Installing the power supply

Depending on configuration, the OTU-5000 can be plugged either on the front of the
equipment, with a 5 points connector, or at the back of the equipment, in single or dual
feed, using one or two 3 points connector.

NOTE
With AC power feed, you must install the converter.

NOTE
The AC power supply plugs are sectioning devices; they must be easily accessible.

Front Power supply option

If the OTU-5000 must be powered from AC at the front of the equipment:

CAUTION

OSX-5000 can have 24 or 36 output ports.

Used with the OTU-5000, all the OSX-5000 must be equipped with the same ports
number: either 24 ports or 36 ports for all OSX-5000.

On the configuration menu, click on the OSX > Edit. The following page displays

Figure 31 OSX-5000 Setup

The OSX-5000 can be configured differently:

– either all the OSX-5000 are in cascade mode (internal switch is the distributor)
– or one OSX-5000 is set as distributor and the other are in cascade.

1 Select the parameter Advanced mode for a single OSX.

2 Select one of the following configurations:

The Multiplexed mode is to be used when it is planned to

add other OSX-5000 in the future.
This mode allows to add more OSX-5000 without modifying
the optical cabling of the first one.
The other ports «n-1» of the internal switch are consequently
unused.
In Extended mode (Default mode), the last port of the inter-
nal switch is linked to the OSX. Only one OSX is then usable
for this configuration, the other ports of the internal switch can
be used only to connect fibers to be tested ( the number of
usable ports is then of 59: 23 ports on the internal switch + 36
on the OSX)
This mode can be selected if no other OSX-5000 is planned
to be added in the future.

Click on Apply to validate the selected mode.
