Summary

Description of Laser Classes

Class 1

Lasers safe under foreseeable conditions, including intrabeam viewing.

Class 2

Lasers emit visible radiation, eye protection afforded by aversion response.

Class 2 Laser Safety Notes

Low-power lasers incapable of injury within blink duration, requires staring into beam.

Two-Point Static TEACH

Two-Point TEACH and Manual Adjust

Using Manual Adjust with Two-Point TEACH moves the switching threshold.

Learn Output ON Condition

Presents the condition for Output ON and teaches it to the sensor.

Learn Output OFF Condition

Presents the condition for Output OFF and teaches it to the sensor.

Dynamic TEACH and Adaptive Thresholds

Learn Output ON and OFF

Teaches both ON and OFF conditions using dynamic method.

Finish Learning

Releases the remote line to accept or reject the taught settings.

Single-Point Static TEACH (Sensing Window)

Single-Point TEACH and Manual Adjust

Adjusts sensing window size (tolerance) for the single-point target condition.

Learn Set Point (Output ON) Condition

Programs a single sensing condition as the ON point, setting thresholds.
