2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.4 Potential Hazards
Optical radiation Laser class 1
The Lector65x camera-based code readers have a targeting laser as a setup aid.
The accessible radiation does not pose a hazard even when viewed directly for long periods
of time, (time base 100 seconds). In the case of visible lasers (red), temporary irritating
optical effects on the human eye (e.g. glare, flash blindness, afterimages, impairment of
color vision) cannot be completely ruled out, especially at low ambient brightness.
▸ Do not look into the switched-on light source.
▸ Do not look directly at the laser with optical instruments (magnifying glasses, micro-
scopes).
▸ Observe current national regulations on laser protection.
Optical radiation Laser class 2
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 seconds.
Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the retina.
The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
▸ Do not look into the laser beam intentionally.
▸ Never point the laser beam at people's eyes.
▸ If it is not possible to avoid looking directly into the laser beam, e.g., during commission-
ing and maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
▸ Avoid laser beam reflections caused by reflective surfaces. Be particularly careful during
mounting and alignment work.
▸ Do not open the housing. Opening the housing may increase the level of risk.
▸ Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Optical radiation LED light (RG2)
Camera system and the integrated LED illumination of the Lector65x use LEDs of the RG2
risk group.
The optical radiation can cause serious eye injuries if the following points are not observed:
▸ Do not look into the light source for extended periods of time.
▸ Do not point the light source at people and prevent reflections of the light source from
reflective surfaces onto people.
▸ During commissioning or maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
▸ Do not open the housing.
▸ Comply with the recent national version of the applicable standards on photobiological
safety of lamps and lamp systems.
Electric voltage
Touching live devices, which may still be energized, can lead to death, burns or electrical
shock.
▸ Electrical work may only be performed on the system by qualified specialist personnel.
▸ Before working on electrical components, observe the five safety rules:
▸ Disconnect.
▸ Secure against being switched back on.
▸ Ensure that there is no voltage.
▸ Ground and short-circuit.
▸ Cover or enclose live parts in the vicinity.
