2.1 

GENERAL SAFETY  

The  ZEB-GO  Portable  Mapping  System  should  only  be  used  by  trained  operators.  Always  follow  basic  safety  precautions  when 
operating the ZEB-GO Portable Mapping System to reduce the risk of personal injury and to prevent damage to the equipment.  Do 
not  operate  the  equipment  with  suspected  defects  or  obvious  mechanical  damage.  Please  refer  all  servicing  of  the  equipment  to 
qualified service personnel. Only use the components and accessories supplied with your system or other accessories recommended 
by GeoSLAM Ltd.  Before operating the system for the first time please read this guide in full. 

The equipment contains sensitive electrical and mechanical parts and thus requires appropriate handling.  Do not bend or pull the 
cables forcibly. Never push objects of any kind into the connectors or sockets. Keep the equipment out of the reach of children. Under 
no circumstances should any modifications be made to the ZEB-GO Portable Mapping System without prior written permission from 
GeoSLAM Ltd. 

 

2.2 

LASER SAFETY  

The ZEB-GO incorporates a Hokuyo UTM-30LX laser scanner.  The UTM-30LX-F is classified as a 
CLASS 1 Laser Product in accordance with IEC 60825-1: 2007 (2nd Edition) 

Safety of laser products. 

Equipment  classification  and  requirements. 

Class  1  Laser  Products  are  safe  under  reasonably 

foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intra-beam viewing. 

  

2.3 

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY  

The ZEB-GO Portable Mapping System meets or exceeds the following standards: 

EN61326-1:2013 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements - Industrial Location Immunity 
- (immunity section only) 

EN61326-1:2013 Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements - Group 1, Class A equipment 
- (emissions section only) 

CFR 47 Code of Federal Regulations: Pt 15 Subpart B- Radio Frequency Devices - Class A Unintentional Radiators 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. 
These  limits  are  designed  to  provide  reasonable  protection  against  harmful  interference  when  the  equipment  is  operated  in  a 
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential 
area may cause interference.
