SAFETY 

 

 

 

The ZEB‐HORIZON should only be used by trained operators. Always follow basic safety precautions when 
operating the ZEB‐HORIZON  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 
manual 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‐HORIZON 
without prior written permission from GeoSLAM Ltd. 

 

 

The ZEB‐HORIZON incorporates a Velodyne Puck VLP‐16 laser scanner. The VLP‐16 is 
classified as a CLASS 1 Laser Product in accordance with IEC 60825‐1:2007 & 2014

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. 

 
 

 

The ZEB‐HORIZON 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual this may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference. 

 

DO NOT attempt to dismantle the battery. 

DO NOT short circuit the battery. 

ONLY use the charger supplied with the system. 

Excess heat will degrade the battery rapidly. Always store the battery in a cool dry place. DO NOT leave for long 
periods in the sun or in a hot vehicle. 

The battery is splash proof but not water proof – do not immerse in water. 

 

 

When the ZEB‐HORIZON reaches the end of its life‐cycle please dispose of the equipment in 
accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE). 

 

GeoSLAM Ltd is prepared to take back the waste equipment and accessories free of charge at the 
manufacturing unit in Ruddington, UK for proper treatment with the objectives of the WEEE.
