Synrad Firestar f-Series operator’s manual
Agency compliance
OEM models
Firestar f-Series OEM lasers are OEM products intended for incorporation as components in laser process-
ing 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 require-
ments 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 responsibility 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 Commis-
sion (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 spec-
trum. The purpose of the Communication Act is to prevent harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI)
from aecting authorized radio communication services. The FCC regulations that govern industrial,
scientic, and medical (ISM) equipment are fully described in 47 CFR, Part 18, Subpart C.
SYNRAD’s Firestar f100 and f201 lasers have been tested and found to comply by demonstrating per-
formance characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of 47 CFR, Part 18, Radiated and
Conducted Emissions.
SYNRAD’s Firestar f200 and f400 lasers are not yet fully tested to 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 signicant electrical interference trace-
able to Firestar f-Series lasers.
System Maintenance
Ensure that all exterior covers are properly fastened in position.
Measures to Correct Interference
If you suspect that your Firestar 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 prob-
lems.
2
Ensure that the Firestar laser is properly grounded to the same electrical potential as the
equipment or system it is connected to.
