CAUTION
The EQ-400 is a Class 4 Laser Product. All appropriate laser safety measures should be in
place before operating the system. Consult your facility's laser safety officer. Laser protective
eyewear should be worn at all times while operating the system.
The EQ-400 also produces high-intensity UV radiation. Eyewear should protect not only from
laser radiation at 1070 nm, but also from UV radiation in the band from 190 to 400 nm.
For further safety information, refer to ANSI Z136.1 Standard for Safe Use of Lasers,
available from Laser Institute of America (
www.laserinstitute .org).
Laser Information
The EQ-400 uses a patented* laser drive system to excite a plasma that radiates in the UV as
well as the visible bands. A Class 4 laser is located in the Power/Control Unit enclosure. The
optical configuration of the Lamp House ensures that the direct laser beam cannot exit the
unit. The EQ-400 laser product is designated as Class 4 during all normal operation.
The parameters of the non-accessible internal laser are given below in Table 1.
