Laser Safety – Fiber Output SFP and QSFP Modules Warning
LASER SAFETY
The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal
operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent
direct exposure to the laser beam. Even though the power of these lasers is
low, the beam should be treated with caution and common sense because it is
intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause irreversible and permanent
damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines carefully:
· Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board’s fiber outputs before
power is applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an
output, make sure that the cable’s other end is connected, too, before
powering up the board.
· Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser
wavelengths being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause
permanent damage. Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical power
meter, to verify light output.
Mains Supply Voltage
Before connecting the equipment, observe the safety warnings section and
ensure that the local mains supply is within the rating stated on the rear of
the equipment.

Environmental Considerations
This chapter instructs the user how to install the control surfaces, mainframe
and any ancillary panels into desktop and 19 inch rack environments. Attention
should be paid to the cooling information for the mainframe. The ambient
temperature for all the supplied equipment should not exceed the limits of 5
and 40°C (41 to 104F) at a relative humidity of 10 to 90% (non-condensing).
Installing the equipment in a clean environment with moderate temperature and
humidity will promote a long and trouble-free equipment life.

Environment and Location Control Surfaces
Control Surfaces
Mounting a Kula Control Surface into a Desk
Note: The Kula control surface should preferably be mounted in a desk which is
open underneath. Note: If the desk is not open underneath, enough room has to
be left underneath for ventilation and for routing the PSU and Comms cables to
the underside of the control surface. Note: It is essential to ensure the air
temperature does not exceed 40°C. With the desk cut to the correct size, desk
cut-out information can be found on: · 24 crosspoint (KPX and K1X) cutout
diagrams on pages 37 and 38. · 16 crosspoint (K1P and KPP) cutout diagrams on
page 41. The Control Surface is secured into a desk using appropriate “Pan
Head” M4 screws with a Max. head diameter of 8.8mm [0.34 Inches]. At each end
of each Control Surface, there are two 4.5 mm [0.18 Inches] fixing point holes
for the screws (as shown on the diagram below). Fixing point Screw Holes

Mainframe Location and Environment
Air Flow through the Mainframe
The Kula mainframe can be used freestanding (tabletop configuration) or
installed in a standard 483mm (19 inch) equipment rack. The following
precautions should be observed:
1 The air intakes on both sides and the cooling fan exhausts at the rear of
the unit must not be obstructed – a minimum clearance at the rear of the
mainframe of 200mm (8 inches) is ESSENTIAL.
2 Air intakes situated at the front and on both sides, are to allow the inlet
of cooling air and MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED.
Top view of the Kula mainframe showing airflow through
Side view of the Kula mainframe showing airflow through
Fans are located on the front door of the mainframe
Cooling Fan Failure IF THE COOLING FANS ONTHE SWITCHER MAINFRAME SHOULD STOP
FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF IMMEDIATELY OR
PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT. Depending on the length of time the mainframe has
been run with no fan the unit may need to be returned for checking and repair.
Contact Grass Valley or your Grass Valley dealer to discuss the situation.
26
Kula Installation Manual Warning! Note: Do not obstruct air intakes to fans
and air vents on any piece of equipment listed in this manual. Please pay
particular attention to the air intakes at sides and the vents at the rear of
the Mainframe.

Environment and Location Mainframe Location and Environment
Mounting the Kula Mainframe into a 19″ Rack
Note: The Kula Mainframe is heavy (14kg 30.3lb) and will require two people
to lift into position, using correct lifting procedures. If you are unsure of
the lifting procedures, ask a Health and Safety adviser for information.
The Mainframe will require an 2RU space within a rack system. Please read the
above warning before attempting to fit the mainframe into a rack.
1 Check that the rack is rigid enough for the mainframe. 2 A suitable rack
tray will be needed in the rack to take the weight of the
mainframe. The mainframe rear will become heavier when the BNC cables are
connected. 3
Note: If the rack tray has sides, make sure that they do not block the
ventilation holes on the sides of the mainframe.
4 When in position in the rack, there are 2 pre-cut slots (mounting holes)
running down each side of the front of the mainframe, to access the mounting
holes, the mainframe front door will have to be opened. To do this; unscrew
the door locking screws on either side of the door, then pull outwards and
lower (as shown in the diagram below).
5 The mainframe is fastened to the rack system using 4x M6 (1/4 inch) screws
(screws are available from rack suppliers).

Power Supplies
Mainframe Internal Power Supplies
The information below gives an overview of the power supplies used in the Kula
mainframes.
Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each power supply cord into
separate branch circuits employing separate service grounds.
The Kula Mainframe is supplied as standard with two power supplies, one power
supply is able to run a fully populated mainframe. The other power supply is
for redundancy.
Note: To ensure full dual redundancy, the two power supplies must be powered
from independent power sources.
This symbol indicates that hazardous voltages are present inside. No User
Serviceable Parts inside the power supplies. This unit should only be serviced
by trained personnel. The power supplies for the Kula mainframe are retained
within the mainframe body, there are no On/Off switches for the power
supplies. The mainframe will power up as soon as the AC Power Cables are
plugged into the IEC connectors and turned On at the AC mains supply.
Checking the Kula Power Supplies
Kula mainframe power supplies are hot-swappable. Replacing power supplies
should only be attempted by qualified personnel. To see that the power
supplies are working correctly, when mains power is applied, a green power LED
is lit (as shown below).
Left PSU removal screws
