Additional Safety and Precautions
The Mantis Vision’s F6 SMART™ Camera comprises a small video camera receiver and a
light emitter (projector). These are mounted at the ends of an anodized aluminum dowel,
fitted with an ergonomic hand grip.
The Mantis Vision’s F6 SMART™ Camera (MVC) projects near-infrared (NIR) light onto the
scene through a slide.
The light source of the Mantis Vision’s emitter is an 850nm Vertical Cavity Surface
Emitting Laser (VCSEL) ARRAY, whose beam is shaped and manipulated to achieve the
beam profile required for the F6 SMART™ Camera application.
The laser source itself emits a beam that has maximum optical peak power of 10 Watt
with Pulse duration up to 4ms.
When this light passes through the optical system, it is sufficiently diffused to be
classified as a Class 1 laser product.
The following basic safety guidelines must be adhered always:
Do not modify any of the F6 SMART™ Camera’s components.
Do not use a damaged F6 SMART™ Camera.
Do not remove the lens of the projector or camera.
Do not use the F6 SMART™ Camera while the workstation (PC, laptop, tablet or
smartphone) is connected to an AC power socket.
Do not aim the laser output through optical instruments, such as eye loupes,
magnifiers or microscopes within 100 mm (4”).
Do not remove the laser assembly access cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
