Description
Text marked with an Electrical Warning symbol or Laser Warning
symbol refers to a potential personal hazard. It requires a procedure
that, if not correctly followed, can result in bodily harm to you or others.
Do not proceed beyond the Electrical Warning or Laser Warning symbols
until you completely understand and meet the required conditions.
Text marked with a CAUTION symbol refers to a potential product
hazard. It requires a procedure that, if not correctly followed, can result
in damage or destruction to the product or components.
Do not proceed beyond the caution symbol until you completely
understand and meet the required conditions.
IMPORTANT
Text marked with Important refers to pertinent information regarding
the operation of the product. Ensure you do not overlook this
information.
1.7.1 EMC Compliance
The YLS-Series lasers are components and should be integrated into a finished system. The EMC (CE
mark relevant) standards are not applicable to the laser modules, however are applicable to the
complete systems. The system integrator is responsible to comply with all applicable standards to the
final laser system.
Results of IPG testing program have demonstrated the possibility to build a CE compliant laser system
with an integrated YLS-series laser module.
The 2D Scanner and 2D Scan Controller complies with applicable EMC requirements.
Modification of the product(s) could result in non-compliance with FCC rules.
1.7.2 Laser Classification
Governmental standards and requirements specify that laser products must be classified according to
their accessible emissions accounting for power, energy, temporal, and wavelength characteristics. The
2D Scanner Series are marked with the classifications that apply only to it as a standalone component.
The 2D Scanner Series are intended to be used with a Class 4 laser source; therefore, all precautions
associated with Class 4 laser products should be taken.
