A
Operating and Storage Environment
The following summarizes the tunable laser source operating environment
ranges. In order for the tunable laser source to meet specications
, the
operating environment must be within these limits
.
Warning
The tunable laser source is not designed for outdoor use.To
prevent potential re or shock hazard, do not expose the
instrument to rain or other excessive moisture.
Temperature
The instrument should be protected from temperature extremes and changes in
temperature that may cause condensation within it.
The storage and operating temperature for the tunable laser source are given in
the table below.

Instrument Positioning and Cooling
The tunable laser source has a cooling fan mounted internally. Mount or
position the instrument upright and horizontally so that air can circulate
through it freely. When operating the tunable laser source, choose a location
that provides at least 75mm (3inches) of clearance at the rear, and at least
25mm (1inch) of clearance at each side.Failure to provide adequate air
clearance may result in excessive internal temperature, reducing instrument
reliability.
