Laser Safety
This product contains Class 3B laser according to IEC 60825-1 (or EN 60825-1) Safety Standards.
Figure 5: The fiber connector is correctly inserted into the optical fiber input of the twin
detection module only if the keyway on the fiber receptacle mates with the positioning key on
the fiber connector.
Class 3B lasers are hazardous to the eye from direct beam viewing, and
from specular reflections even for short and unintentional exposures!
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to take overall safety measures
when operating the source.
The quED should be operated in a restricted area equipped with post warning signs to alert
those present. To ensure adequate warning of hazards associated with the accessible laser
radiation, relevant warning signs and labels are conspicuously affixed to the quED. When
removing the protective laser enclosure, always wear suitable safety glasses to prevent
exposure to laser light. For additional information users should refer to appropriate documents
specifying the safety standards such as IEC 60825-1 “Safety of laser products – Part 1:
Equipment classification and requirements”.
