INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information about Industrial Fiber Optics’ Laser Audio
Transmission Project. The project can be purchased with either a Helium Neon
(HeNe) laser,
IF HN08M (P/N IF 511),
or a Semiconductor Diode laser,
IF RL08-
635 (P/N IF 512),
as the laser light transmission source. The manual contains
all the information you need for both lasers to complete this project safely and
knowledgeably, even if you are a novice to this technology. Please read the
manual carefully while completing activities.
As soon as you receive the Laser Audio Transmission Project, inspect it and
the shipping container for damage. If any damage is found, immediately refer to
