Safety of the Black Box product 

 
The Black Box is classified as Class 3B laser product.  
 
The Black Box System has been tested and found to comply with the EN 60825-1:1994 +A11:96 
(laser safety), EN 60950-1:92+A1:93+A2:93+A3:95+A4:97 (electrical safety), EN 55022:1998 Class 
3B (emission) and EN 55024:1998 and EN 50082-2:1995 (immunity) European standards. 

The laser radiation is emitted from the transmitter optics through the glass window in the front 
side of the laser head under less than 10 mrad divergences. Depending on the model, one, two or 
four of such transmitters may be present inside one head assembly. The optical axles of the 
transmitters are parallel to each other, each of them emitting laser radiation towards the same 
direction – onward through the optical window of the head. No other aperture through which laser 
radiation can occur present in the laser head. 

 

Warning! 

Invisible laser radiation! Looking directly into the laser beam can cause permanent 
damage to the eye! Safe looking distance varies with beam power and divergence. 
See attached data sheet for exact figures. 

 

The Black Box product should be installed in such a way that nobody can access the optical window 
or can get in the way of the laser beam accidentally. For detailed instructions please read 

Eye Safety

 

part of chapter 4.5 of the manual (Site Survey). 

The Black Box product provided with all the necessary labels specified by the standards. Moreover 
informative labels should be put on clearly visible places where the laser beam can be accessed. The 
locations of the warning labels are shown in Chapter 4.5/Eye Safety. 

The Indoor Interconnection Unit is assembled with a certified power cord, which must be 
connected to the mains through a power outlet to make the disconnection possible at any time. 
Any modification to the above installation is prohibited. If modifications are required by the local 
standard, please contact the manufacturer. 

To ensure the compliance with the EN 60950 safety requirements, only the manufacturer or its 
certified partners should install the system. 

 

Warning 
Operating the Black Box product other than described in this manual can cause undesired laser 
radiation and can be dangerous to he eye or electrical shock!
