Before installing the system, make sure that you are familiar with and
have obeyed all necessary laser safety precautions. Please refer to
paragraph 3.1 for this purpose. Handle the source and all its components
very gently. Especially, do not tilt the breadboard too far and be very
careful with electrostatic discharges in the immediate vicinity of the laser
diode. For additional warnings please see the relevant section (3.2) of the
manual.
Please follow these steps:
1. Optionally: Remove the source from the plastics box. It is fastened to the box with four
screws in the corners of the aluminum breadboard. Remove the screws from the top.
Gently put the breadboard with the source on a stable table. In case you decide to
operate the source in the box, make sure to avoid any damage to the fibers when
closing the lid.
2. Place the control unit next to the breadboard and connect it to a power socket.
3. Connect the quED with the control unit using the SUB-D9 connector cable.
4. After removing the protective caps, plug and fasten the FC/PC connectors of the single
mode fibers into the optical inputs of the control unit (see also Figure 5).
