Knowledge Base - FAQ
N/A
It is not recommended to use those type of optics, those ones draws more current than a normal ones and will cause overheating. The specifications for the modules are 14W and the modules does not have the proper airflow to cool high power optics like those ones.
If the optics overheat, this may happen:
• Errors could be introduced to the test.
• Optics could suffer damage.
• Test module would likely not be damaged, but it might happen.
• If the optics pulls too much current, the test module could trip the breaker and shut down.
