Laser Description and Safety Information
The ABR 7000 internal illuminators contain two aiming Laser LEDs used to position the reader. Disconnect the power supply when opening the
device during maintenance or installation to avoid exposure to hazardous laser light. The laser beam can be switched on or off through a soft-
ware command.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of IEC 60825-1 and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice N° 50, date June 24, 2007. This product is classified as a Class 2 laser product according to IEC 60825-1 regulations.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure. Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be re-
turned to the manufacturer.
For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers
•
Do not stare at the laser.
•
Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
•
Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.
•
Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.
Reference IEC 60825-1:2007, Section 8.2.
CAUTION: Never stare directly into the sensor lens. Laser light can
damage your eyes. Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam.
Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.
Class 2 Lasers
Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to
700 nm, where eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the blink
reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under reasonably fore-
seeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam view-
ing.
Class 2 Laser Safety Notes
Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a
blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400
to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their natural
aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

Installation Instructions
Mount the Reader
Note: Mount the device at a 10° to 15° angle from the target to avoid direct reflections.
1. Rotate the connector block to the desired angle.

2. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
3. Select a reading distance.
The ABR 7000 manual adjustable focus models and autofocus models are both factory focused to a precise reading distance.
•
If this distance is compatible with your application, or if you have an autofocus model, you can use the Smart Teach Interface
to install the reader.
•
If this distance is not compatible with your application and you have a manual focus model, use the software setup procedure
described in the Instruction Manual.
The following table shows the Horizontal Field of View size for these factory focused reading distances:
