Laser Warning and Laser Specifications Labels
Installation site and design of the combination of black and yellow laser warning label and
type label with laser performance data:
Meaning of the laser warning label:
Laser radiation - Do not look into the laser beam - laser class 2.
Controlling the Laser Diode
In real operation (triggered reading mode), the CLV61x switches the laser diode on and off
again with the trigger signals of the conveyor system (object in reading range). Triggering oc-
curs here via the switching inputs of the CLV61x or by a command via one of the data inter-
faces.
A laser timeout configured with SOPAS ET (device page I
LLUMINATION CONTROL) can be used
to automatically switch off the laser diode for this type of object trigger control if the pulse
has stopped for too long (e.g., conveyor system has stopped). The current internal reading
interval of the CLV61x remains open. If the function is activated, the laser timeout is 10 min
in the default settings.
The laser diode is permanently or repeatedly switched on in the following device statuses:
In the "Percentage Evaluation" and "Auto Setup" operating modes (only used temporar-
ily for configuration/diagnosis)
In reading operation in the pulsing types "Auto cycle" (adjustable pulse/pause ratio) or
"free".
If timeout is activated, it will have no effect here.
Important! The CLV61x has no optical indicator (LED) for laser diode activity.
