2.4 Sources of danger
The 2D LiDAR sensor of the VMS4100/5100 uses a class 2 laser.
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.
▸
Never look directly into the laser beam.
▸
Never point the laser beam at people’s eyes.
▸
During commissioning or maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
▸
Avoid laser beam reflection caused by reflective surfaces. In particular during mounting
and alignment work.
▸
Do not open the housing.
▸
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
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.
