•
Caution, use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Do not open the Helios camera housing.
•
Do not contact the laser apertures with any objects. Damage to the laser
modules could produce hazardous radiation levels.
Electrostatic Discharge
Ensure proper precautions are implemented to prevent damage from an electrostatic
discharge.
Image Quality
Dust or fingerprints on the sensor may result in a loss of image quality.
Work in a clean and dust-free environment.
Use only compressed ionized air or an optics cleaner to clean the surface of the sensor
window. Pleaser refer to the Maintenance section for details.
Laser Radiation
The Helios Flex camera emits infrared radiation that is invisible to the human eye. Helios has been
tested to IEC / EN 60825-1: 2014 and classified as Class 1 (eye safe). The location and a sample of the
laser safety classification label are shown in Figure 1. The location and a sample of the product label are
shown in Figure 2.
Emission is produced by 4 VCSEL (Lasers) with integrated diffusers that illuminate the field of view. The
laser apertures are shown in Figure 3.
The diffusers are integral to the eye safety classification and must not be damaged or
removed. The emission characteristics are as follows:
•
Wavelength: 850 nm +/- 10 nm
•
Divergence (FWHM): 60°×45°
•
Maximum average power: 2.2 mW (through IEC / EN 60825-1: 2014 limiting
aperture)
