6. YEARLY MAINTENANCE
6.1 Visual Inspection for Laser Safety
Once a year, visually inspect the optical system to verify that there is no potential of laser
light leakage and that proper warning labels are in place.
WARNING! Never open the optical system cover. Up to 2 mW of laser light is
accessible inside this unit and the beam can damage your eyes.
(1) Turn OFF the power to the Main Unit. Remove the Main Unit left side cover by
loosening the 2 screws with a screwdriver (Phillips).
(2) Verify that two warning labels "DANGER, Laser Light when open, AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE" are visible as shown in Figure 5-6-1.
