Chapter 2 General Safety
Information
Please note:
◎
Performances of Maxphotonics MFSC laser meet the CE EMC certification
requirements, the EMC requirements specified in "EMC Directive" of European
market, the anti-interference requirements specified in "EMC" standard EN55011
emission and EN61326-1: 8006, and the emission requirements of group 1
classification A specified in EN55011.
◎
In accordance with relevant national standards and requirements, the laser
must be classified according to its output power and laser wavelength. All MFSC
1000X-1500X CW Fiber Laser Series products with high power belong to Class 4
products (according to section J
,
1040.10 (d) of Part
Ⅱ
, 21 CFR).
◎
According to the standards of EU, the equipment belongs to Class 4
instrument (according to Chapter 8, EN 60825-1).
4-General Safety Instructions
1. Specular Reflection
There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at various angles
in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are produced when the
primary beam of laser reects off a smooth surface, and they are called specular
reflections. Although these secondary beams may be less powerful than the
total power emitted from the primary beam, the intensity may be great enough to
cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as surface of materials.
WARNING:
◎
You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as these
laser radiations are invisible!
2.Safety Instructions of Accessories
The photosensitive elements integrated in laser-related optical accessories may
be damaged by laser exposure, such as video cameras, photomultiplier tubes,
and photodiodes. Attention should be paid to related device protection.
