Synrad Firestar f-Series operator’s manual
Agency compliance
Electromagnetic interference standards
The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, 2004/108/EC, is the sole Direc-
tive developed to address electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues in electronic equipment. In particular,
the Directive calls out European Norm (EN) documents that dene the emission and immunity standards
for specic product categories. For Firestar f-Series lasers, EN 55011 and CISPR 11 dene radiated and
conducted RF emission limits while the generic Standards EN 61326-1 and EN 50082-1 dene immunity
requirements published by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC).
Firestar f100 and f201 lasers have demonstrated performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the
requirements of EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
SYNRAD’s Firestar f200 and f400 lasers are not yet fully tested to the requirements of EMC Directive
2004/108/EC.
When integrating SYNRAD’s Firestar f-Series OEM lasers, the Buyer and/or integrator of the end system
is responsible for meeting all applicable Standards to obtain the CE mark. To aid this compliance process,
SYNRAD’s testing program has demonstrated that Firestar f100 and f201 lasers comply with the relevant
requirements of 2004/108/EC, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, as summarized in Table 2
(f100) and Table 3 (f201) below.
