PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.3. Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION
!
RETURN DEFECTIVE UNITS TO THE MANUFACTURER.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in haz-
ardous radiation exposure.
• Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer.
1.3.1. Class 2 Laser Models
CAUTION
!
NEVER STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE SENSOR LENS.
Laser light can damage your eyes.
• Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.
Escape Button
Press Escape to:
• Leave the current menu and return to the parent menu
• Return to Run mode from the Quick Menu
IMPORTANT: Pressing Escape discards any unsaved programming changes.
In the Sensor Menu, a return arrow in the upper left corner of the display indicates that pressing Escape returns to the parent menu.
Press and hold Escape for 2 seconds to return to Run mode from any menu or remote teach.
A lock symbol displays in the upper left corner of the display to indicate when the sensor is locked.
For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers
• Do not stare at the laser.
• Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
• Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.
• Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.
Reference IEC 60825-1:2007, Section 8.2.
Class 2 Lasers
Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to
provide adequate protection under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical
instruments for intrabeam viewing.

(Class 2)
Class 2 Laser Safety Notes
Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion
response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular
hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their natural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser
beam.
