Product Reference Guide 1-11
Laser and Product Safety
Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2007) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:
• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than
cleaning
of the scan windows is required.
• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa
laser
product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B Visible
Laser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 nm, in an opto-mechan-
ical scanner, resulting in less than
2.71µW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Maximum emitted peak output power at the lower window is
1120µW @ 60µS pulse. No attempt should be made by the user
to remove the protective housing of the scanning-scale.
• Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and v
ertical scan windows
are the only apertures through which laser light may be observed
in this product.
Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown not
to be harmful. The safety r
ecord of barcode scanning is perfect after mil-
lions of hours of use worldwide. This
safe and efficient use of laser tech-
nology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.
Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:
CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments or performa
nce of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase e
ye hazard. (Opti-
cal instruments include binoculars, micr
oscopes, telescopes and magnifying
glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).
To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remo
ve the protective housing of the
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your scanner or scanning-
scale.
