4 Installation
4.1 Installation Site
Since the C-Pro is connected to an existing surgical microscope, the requirements
imposed by the microscope manufacturer apply to the installation site.
Please read the operating instructions to find out about the conditions required for the
installation of the laser.
4.2 Room Requirements
Legislation imposes the following requirements to any room in which a class 4 laser
(according to EN 60825-1) is operated.
4.2.1 Warning signs
All ingresses shall be clearly marked to prevent an outside person from entering, as this
might be hazardous.

Please attach the laser warning sign (triangle with laser symbol) as well as the
wavelength marking at each access door.

Please mount a warning lamp above each access door, which always has to light up,
when the laser is in operation.
This ensures warning to prevent accidental entry to the room without protective
goggles.

Please store the laser protective goggles at the entrance of the room and make sure
they are readily accessible.
4.2.2 Windows shielding
Windows need to be covered with suitable masking or shielding to prevent laser radiation
leakage. For any question or in case of any doubt, please contact your local A.R.C. Laser
authorized dealer, or contact directly to A.R.C. Laser GmbH at any time.
4.2.3 Reflecting surfaces
To avoid possible danger caused by reflected radiation direct or scattered, reflecting
surfaces must not be present in the room during operation. Such surfaces may include

mirrors

pictures with front glass

chrome surfaces

windows
These surfaces must be either removed or covered with suitable matt type material. Even
at the area around the laser fiber port, use only matted, non-reflecting as well as non-
combustible instruments and materials
