Safety Instructions and Compliance 

Before using the Alio Pro card reader for the first time, please carefully read this technician guide, and in particular the safety instructions, at 

least once. This is to ensure that the contents of this technician guide have been understood and the reader knows how to operate the card 

reader.

 

Intended use 

The Alio Pro card reader is designed for use in unattended indoor and outdoor sites, able to provide sales of products or services in kiosk 

and vending machines. It is designed to combine telemetry, electronic payment, cash acceptance, cellular antenna, and screen technology 

into a single solution. With reduced hardware, the Alio Pro card reader delivers an enhanced installation experience, on screen diagnostics 

and a measurable ROI with the combination of cashless and cash recycling technology. Use the Alio Pro card reader exclusively for this 

purpose. Under no circumstances can the manufacturer be held liable for any damage or loss resulting from improper use of the equipment. 

The Alio Pro card reader has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety directives. However, please 
observe the following safety instructions. 

LASER SAFETY CONSIDERATION 

The Alio Pro card reader contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is designed to remain within Class 1 

laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable conditions including single faults in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition). 

The laser output will remain within Class 1 limits as long as the CPI recommended device settings (API settings) are used and the operating 

conditions specified are respected. 

The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics should be used with the intention of focusing the laser beam. 

The laser does not require any control, adjustment, or maintenance. 

 

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result 

in hazardous radiation exposure. 

 

LASER CLASS LABEL 

Laser characteristics: 

This device emits pulsed laser radiation with a period of 16.7 nanoseconds and 5 nanoseconds on time, resulting in a duty cycle of 30%. The 

wavelength is 945 nm. 

Compliance statement for Laser Notice 56: 

Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated
