Safety precautions
The light source of the SLS is a semiconductor laser emitting visible or invisible
light. The SLS has a 2, 3R or 3B classification according to IEC 60825-1 Safety
of Laser products and complies also with FDA performance standards for
laser products except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated
July 26, 2001.
The classification for each sensor is stated on the laser warning labels on the
sensor. Make sure that you take the proper precautions for the laser class of the
sensor you are using. If you are uncertain of the laser class or if you have
questions regarding precautions or laser safety standards, please contact your
nearest LMI office. The following safety precautions must be observed when
working with the equipment:
The emitted light can damage the eye if directly exposed, or if the
laser light is reflected by a mirror or any mirror like surface
directly into the eye.
Follow all warnings and instructions in the manual. Personnel working with or
near the SLS must be informed about safety distance, hazardous area and other
installation specific hazards.
Caution- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Ensure that the voltage from the power supply matches the specifications for the
equipment.
If otherwise is not explicitly stated, always disconnect the power supply unit
during installation, service and maintenance of the SLS. The power supply unit
delivered from LMI Technologies is provided with a key control. Remove this
key to prevent that the laser is turned on unintentionally.
If possible seal off the hazardous area defined in the Safety distance/ NOHD
section to prevent unauthorized personnel from getting exposed to laser light.
It is always recommended to follow as many of the precautions as possible
irrespective of laser class.
