Laser and Product Safety
Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2007) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:
•
User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the laser system other
than cleaning of the scan windows is required.
•
Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser
product. The system uses two embedded Class 3A Visible Laser
Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 nm, in an opto-mechanical scan-
ner, resulting in less than 3.1μW radiated power as observed
through a 7mm aperture averaged over 10 seconds. Maximum emit-
ted output power at the lower (sealed) window is 880μW, pulse
duration is 89 μS. No attempt should be made by the user to
remove the protective housing of the scanner/scale.
•
Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and vertical scan windows are
the only apertures through which laser light may be observed in this
product.
Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown not
to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after mil-
lions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser tech-
nology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.
Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:
CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser
light exposure.
The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase
eye hazard. (Optical instruments include binoculars, micro-
scopes, telescopes and magnifying glasses. This does not
include eyeglasses worn by the user).
To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protec-
tive housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside your scanner or scanner/scale.
