Laser safety notices
ATTENTION, LASER RADIATION – CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
Do not stare into beam
The device satisfies the requirements of IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 safety regulations for a
product of laser class 2 and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 except for conformance with
IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
Never look directly into the laser beam or in the direction of reflected laser beams!
If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, there is a risk of injury to the
retina.
Do not point the laser beam of the device at persons!
Interrupt the laser beam using a non-transparent, non-reflective object if the laser beam
is accidentally directed towards a person.
When mounting and aligning the device, avoid reflections of the laser beam off reflec
-
tive surfaces!
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.
Observe the applicable statutory and local laser protection regulations.
The device must not be tampered with and must not be changed in any way.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
Repairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.
If the scanner motor fails during the emission of laser radiation, the limit value of laser
class 2 in accordance with IEC 60825
-
1:2014 could be exceeded. The device has safe
-
guards to prevent this occurrence.
If the emitted laser beam is at a standstill, immediately disconnect the faulty bar code
reader from the voltage supply.
The BCL8 emits scanned optical radiation at a wavelength of 655 nm (red).
Looking at the device's mirror and operating at the lowest scanning rate (500 scans/s)
at a viewing distance of 100 mm results in pulses with a pulse duration shorter than
420 µs on the retina of the eye. The total pulse peak power at the exit window is less
than 1.7 mW.
The average laser power is less than 1 mW in accordance with laser class 2 acc. to
IEC 60825-1:2014
