CAUTION
Optical radiation: Laser class 2
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 sec‐
onds. 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 com‐
missioning 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.
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary disorienting optical effects, particularly
in conditions of dim lighting. Disorienting optical effects may come in the form of daz‐
zle, flash blindness, afterimages, photosensitive epilepsy, or impairment of color vision,
for example.
Output of laser radiation at the device
The entire reading window is a laser output aperture.

NOTE
No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with Class 2 laser.
Warning symbol on the device
The laser warning label is lasered onto the protective housing. The type label is
attached on the housing side of the connections.
In addition to other information, the type label also contains the laser output data. This
data consists of: Laser output power (maximum/average), wavelength or wavelength
range, and pulse time duration, see "Type label", page 10.
