SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE NOTICES
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international
authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS4800 scanner.
Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam
momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would
with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of
an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both EN 60825-1 and CDRH 21
CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. The scanner is classified as a Class 2 laser product
according to EN 60825-1 regulations and as a Class II laser product according to CDRH
regulations.
There is a safety device, which allows the laser to be switched on only if the motor is rotating
above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.
The laser beam can be switched off through a software command (see also the Genius™
Help On Line).
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser
light.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the front of the
scanner (
Warning labels indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are applied
onto the body of the scanner.
Disconnect the power supply when opening the device
during maintenance or installation to avoid exposure to
hazardous laser light.
The laser diode used in this device is classified as a class 3B
laser product according to EN 60825-1 regulations and as a
Class IIIb laser product according to CDRH regulations.
Any violation of the optic parts in particular can cause
radiation up to the maximum level of the laser diode (40 mW
at 630 to 680 nm).
