Safety and Maintenance
The following sections describe the safe use and maintenance of Gocator sensors.
Laser Safety
Gocator sensors contain
semiconductor lasers that emit visible
or invisible light and are designated as
Class 2M, Class 3R, or Class 3B,
depending on the chosen laser option.
See Laser Classes on the next page for
more information on the laser classes
used in Gocator sensors.
Gocator sensors are referred to as
components, indicating that they are
sold only to qualified customers for
incorporation into their own
equipment. These sensors do not
incorporate safety items that the
customer may be required to provide
in their own equipment (e.g., remote
interlocks, key control; refer to the
references below for detailed
information). As such, these sensors
do not fully comply with the standards
relating to laser products specified in
IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR Title 21 Part
1040.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
