Laser Radiation Emission
When the FARO Laser Line Probe is operating, a laser beam emits from the
aperture at the front of the FARO Laser Line Probe. See Figure 4-2 for the
location of the laser beam aperture.
When the laser is operating, the Edge Handle LEDs illuminate. See Figure 4-3
for the location of the laser emission indicator.
These LEDs also indicate the range of the laser to the target surface. For more
information, see “Range Finder” on page 59.
CAUTION: VIEWING THE LASER OUTPUT WITH CERTAIN OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS (EYE LOUPES, MAGNIFIERS, AND MICROSCOPES,
ETC.) WITHIN A DISTANCE OF 100 MM MAY POSE AN EYE HAZARD.
Laser power up to 5 mW at 660 nm in a diverging beam could be accessible in
the interior of the FARO Laser Line Probe.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE FARO LASER LINE
PROBE CASE. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
