3 Set-up and Installation
3.1 Installation Site
Before the device is delivered, it must be ensured that the laser can be set up in a suitable
location.
The FOX 514 should be operated in an easily accessible place. The laser should not be
operated near a heater, since the device only works when the ambient temperature is not
higher than +40°C. Higher temperatures can cause the device to switch off due to
overheating. A place of installation in direct sunlight can cause an early shutdown and must
be avoided in any case.
If the temperature is too low (below +10°C), the device cannot be started to prevent
condensation on the internal optics; this could result in permanent damage to the laser.
•
The device should be set up so that the laser beam is not aimed directly at a door,
window or reflective material.
•
The device should be operated in a dust-free room. There should be no carpets on the
floor or on the walls.
When the device is not in use, it should be stored in the carrying case. The wiring must be
installed that there are no tripping hazards or other hazards.
All control elements must also be free and easily accessible. The air humidity is monitored
internally and must be below 75%.
3.2 Room Requirements
Legislation imposes the following requirements to any room in which a class 4 laser
according to EN 60825-1 is operated.
3.2.1 Marking Access Points
All entrances must be clearly marked so that unintentional or unauthorized entry, which can
lead to a hazard, is avoided.
•
Laser warning signs (triangle with laser symbol) and the wavelength labeling must be
attached to each access door.
•
A warning lamp must be attached above each access door. This must always light up
when the laser is in operation.
•
The laser safety goggles must be easily accessible at the entrance.
3.2.2 Windows shielding
It must be ensured that no laser radiation can escape the room. In particular, the windows
must be secured with suitable materials. If you have any questions, your contact person at
A.R.C. Laser GmbH is available for you.
