Safety and Maintenance
The following sections describe the safe use and maintenance of Gocator sensors.
Laser Safety
Gocator sensors contain semiconductor lasers that emit visible or invisible light and are designated as
Class 2M, Class 3R, or Class 3B, depending on the chosen laser option. For more information on the laser
classes used in Gocator sensors,
Laser Classes on the next page.
Gocator sensors are referred to as components , indicating that they are sold only to qualified customers
for incorporation into their own equipment. These sensors do not incorporate safety items that the
customer may be required to provide in their own equipment (e.g., remote interlocks, key control; refer
to the references below for detailed information). As such, these sensors do not fully comply with the
standards relating to laser products specified in IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
