4 Laser consideration
VL53L5CX contains a laser emitter and the corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is designed to
remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable conditions including single faults in
compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition). The laser output remains within Class 1 limits as long as
the STMicroelectronics recommended device settings are used and the operating conditions specified in their
datasheets are respected. The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics used to
focus the laser beam. Figure 3 shows the warning label for Class 1 laser products.
