Safety
Do not attempt to move or lift the laser system by hand. It is recommended to use a fork lift or other mechanical assistance when moving the laser system. If unsure about how to move the equipment please
consult a professional rigging company or Universal Laser Systems Customer Support.
DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURES OF THIS SYSTEM. Access to these areas (marked with warning labels) is not necessary during normal operation. If it
becomes necessary to open one of these enclosures for any reason, the power cord must first be disconnected from the electrical supply.
NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND LEAD TO THE ELECTRICAL CORD AND PLUG THE SYSTEM INTO A NON-GROUNDED OUTLET. A laser system that is not properly grounded is hazardous and can result in
severe or fatal electrical shock. Without proper grounding, the laser system may exhibit sporadic or unpredictable behavior. Always plug the system into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet.
The power supply cord is the main disconnect device; the equipment should be located close to an easily accessible power outlet. To disconnect the equipment from the supply main, the power cord should be
unplugged from the power outlet or main power inlet (appliance coupler) of the unit.
The laser system is designed as a Class I, Group A, pluggable device. It is also designed for connection to IT power systems.
The equipment should be connected to an AC power supply with Zmax = 0.049 Ohms or lower impedance. The end user should consult with their power supply authority to ensure the AC line impedance
requirement of EN 61000-3-11:2000 Annex B compliance is met.
THIS DEVICE IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH CDRH PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS UNDER 21 CFR 1040.10 AND 1040.11 AND TO COMPLY WITH EUROPEAN LASER SAFETY REGULATIONS
UNDER EN60825-1.
CDRH is the Center for the Devices of Radiological Health division of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. No guarantees of suitability or safety are provided for any use other than those specified by Universal Laser
