OEM models
Series 48 OEM lasers are OEM products intended for incorporation as components in laser processing
systems. As supplied by SYNRAD, these lasers do not meet the requirements of 21 CFR, Subchapter J
without additional safeguards. In the U.S., the Buyer of these OEM laser components is solely responsible
for the assurance that the laser processing system sold to an end user complies with all laser safety
requirements before the actual sale of the system. Under CDRH regulations, the Buyer must submit a
report to the CDRH prior to shipping the system. In jurisdictions outside the U.S., it is the sole responsi-
bility of the Buyer of these OEM components to ensure that they meet all applicable local laser safety
requirements. In cases where the Buyer is also the end-user of the OEM laser product, the Buyer/end-user
must integrate the laser so that it complies with all applicable laser safety standards as set forth above.
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) requirements
The United States Communication Act of 1934 vested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
with the authority to regulate equipment that emits electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency
spectrum. The purpose of the Communication Act was to prevent harmful electromagnetic interference
(EMI) from affecting authorized radio communication services. The FCC regulations that govern
industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment are fully described in 47 CFR, Part 18, Subpart C.
SYNRAD’s Series 48 lasers have been tested and found to comply by demonstrating performance
characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of 47 CFR, Part 18, Radiated and Conducted
Emissions.
FCC information to the user
NOTE: The following FCC information to the user is provided to comply with the requirements of 47
CFR, Part 18, Section 213.
Interference Potential
In our testing, SYNRAD, Inc. has not discovered any significant electrical interference traceable to
Series 48 lasers.
System Maintenance
Ensure that all exterior covers are properly fastened in position.
Measures to Correct Interference
If you suspect that your Series 48 laser interferes with other equipment, take the following steps to
minimize this interference:
1
Use shielded cables to and from the equipment that is experiencing interference problems.
2
Ensure that the Series 48 laser is properly grounded to the same electrical potential as the equip-
ment or system it is connected to.
3
Install bisected ferrite on the laser’s DC power cables; locate them as close as possible to the laser
housing.
