laser product safety standards
If your product contains lasers, it has been designed and manufactured to comply with the international laser product
safety standard IEC 60825-1 and the U.S. CDRH Regulation 21CFR § 1040.10 to reduce risk as far as is reasonably
practicable. Our Customer Support Team, where applicable, install the system according to the same standards, but if
there has been an agreement that you should install all or part of the laser product system, then you take responsibility
to install this according to the same standards.
eye protection
Eye Protection is not required for the safe use of the device as the only radiation observable (without intentional
misuse) is directionally stable, diffuse and highly divergent from the designated aperture which is static and labelled.
If eye protection is deemed desirable by the local Laser Safety Ofcer, Andor recommends the following products:
• 360 nm to 510 nm – Kentek KXP-4001 Spectacles
• 510 nm to 670 nm – Kentek KRA 6702 Spectacles
Working WitH optical fibres
1. Only service personnel authorised by Andor should remove or inspect bres as these are part of the installed
protective housing
2. The laser radiation passing through bres is potentially hazardous, so great care should be taken to avoid
exposure to this radiation
3. Ensure bre cables are not bent tightly or general mishandled as this may damage the internal optical bre
4. Ensure that the minimum bend radius is never exceeded when handling, which is recommended to be 300
mm
5. For transport or storage, bre cables should be coiled with a diameter of 300 mm or greater
6. Optical bres are prone to damage by bending local to the connector
7. The coupler is not designed to withstand pulling of the bre. If the bre is pulled, the system performance
could be compromised or the system may fail
8. Locate the laser source and any other connected devices within 2 m of each other so that the interconnecting
bres are not stretched, bent, or constrained
