Important Notice
The customer should ensure that the principle of operating of this instrument is well understood by the
operator. Misuse of this equipment in any manner, tampering with its components, or unauthorized
substitution of any component may adversely impair intrinsic safety of this instrument. No user serviceable
components supplied within this instrument. Should the instrument not work properly, or indicate a fault or
warning, please refer to the maintenance & troubleshooting section of this manual and contact FPI or an
authorized service center immediately if further assistance required
.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the operator is qualified to perform leak detection in the areas
where flammable and hazardous gases probably exist. Since the use of this instrument is beyond the control
of Focused Photonics Inc. (hereinafter referred to as FPI), no responsibility by FPI, its affiliates, and agents
for damage or injury from misuse or neglect of this equipment is implied or assumed.
1.
Laser Radiation Hazard
WARNING: DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY OR WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENT INTO
THE LASER BEAM. DO NOT POINT LASER BEAM INTO ANOTHER PERSON’S EYE.
In conformity with IEC60825-1.2007, a class 1 laser is equipped on this instrument as the detector and a
class 2 or 3R laser used as the spotter.
1.
Class 1 lasers and laser systems are considered safe and incapable of producing damaging laser radiation
levels during normal operation.
2.
Class 2 is low-powered lasers with an output of approx. 1 MW continuous wave. All class 2 lasers
operate in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of 400-700nm. Eye protection is usually
afforded by aversion response and blink reflex (0.25 seconds). However, a class 2 laser beam could be
hazardous if one were to intentionally expose the eyes for longer than 0.25 seconds.
3.
Class 3R lasers operate at 1-5 MW of continuous wave. Direct viewing of the Class 3R laser beam could
be hazardous to the eyes.
2.
General Cautions
1.
When operating the instrument, if any unusual odor or smoke is emitted, fire or possible short circuit is
observed, power off the instrument immediately and remove the battery. Contact FPI or its authorized
service center for assistance.
2.
If any liquid enters into the instrument, or damage caused to the instrument body, do not use it. Keep
using it may result in electric shock, fire or irreversible damage to the instrument. Contact FPI or its
authorized service center for assistance.
