7 Laser safety considerations
The VL53L0X contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is
designed to remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable
conditions including single faults in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition).
The laser output will remain within Class 1 limits as long as the STMicroelectronics
recommended device settings (API settings) are used and the operating conditions
specified are respected.
The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics should be used
with the intention of focusing the laser beam.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
