BRAVO Analyzer - User Manual
Safety 1
1.4 Laser safety
1.4.1 Laser class
The handheld Raman spectrometer BRAVO is classified as a laser class 1M product
according to IEC/EN 60825-1:2007. It emits invisible laser radiation in the wavelength
range 700nm to 1100nm (P
opt.
< 100nm).
Laser class 1M product means that the product is safe for all reasonable foreseeable
conditions of use. This means, no laser safety equipment is required for operating
BRAVO.
The duration of the laser radiation emission is limited automatically to the duration of the
spectroscopic measurement.
☞ For information about the laser exit points, see section 1.4.3.
1.4.2 Safety instructions
Although BRAVO is a laser class 1M product, circumstances may occur in which laser
radiation poses a potential health hazard. In these cases, observe the following safety
instructions:
☞ For information about how to switch off BRAVO, see section 4.1. For information
about how to remove the battery, see section 4.7. For the Bruker service contact
data, see section 1.10.
This laser warning label identifies BRAVO as a
laser class 1M product. It is affixed at the
bottom side of the handheld Raman
spectrometer.
WARNING
Health hazard because of exposure to laser radiation
Non-observance of the following safety instructions can result in serious injury (possi-
bly irreversible eye injuries).
➣ Do not place magnifying optics (e.g. magnifying glass) into the exiting laser beam
which focuses the laser beam. A focussed laser class 1M beam is capable of
causing eye injuries. Note: Means used for the correction of vision defects like eye
glasses or contact lenses do not pose an injury risk to the human eye in this con-
text.
➣ In case the housing is damaged (e.g. parts of the housing are broken away) do
not start a measurement. Otherwise, there is a potential risk of laser radiation
emission. Instead, switch off the BRAVO spectrometer immediately and remove
the battery. Contact the Bruker service.
