12 Measuring with the PocketMonitorPMT
12.1 Safety instructions
DANGER
Severe eye or skin injury due to laser radiation
During the measurement the laser beam is guided on the device, which
causes scattered or directed reflection of the laser beam (laser class 4).
X
Please wear safety goggles adapted to the power, power density, laser
wave length and operating mode of the laser beam source in use.
X
Wear suitable protective clothing and protective gloves.
X
Protect yourself from laser radiation with separating devices (e.g. by us-
ing appropriate shielding).
CAUTION
Burns due to hot components
After a measurement the absorber is hot. Touching the absorber can lead
to burns.
X
Let the device cool down for an adequate period of time. The cooling
time varies depending on the laser power and the irradiation time.
X
To cool down the absorber you can immerse the absorber in cold water.
To do this, grip the device by the absorber handle, the operating unit or
the swivel joint.
X
Do not immerse the operating unit and the swivel joint in water.
NOTICE
Damaging/Destruction of the device
The maximum permissible laser power of a device type applies to an ir-
radiation time of 10 s. At an irradiation time of 20 s the maximum permis-
sible laser power is divided in half.
X
Observe the limit values in Tab. 12.1 on page24.
