Additional Safety and Precautions
The Mantis Vision F5-B 3D Imaging System’s handheld 3D Camera Imager (Imager)
comprises a small video camera and a light projector. The video camera and light
projector are mounted at the ends of an anodized aluminum dowel, fitted with an
ergonomic hand grip. The Mantis Vision Camera (MVC) projects infrared light onto
the scene through a slide. The light source of the Mantis Vision projector is an
808nm VCSEL ARRAY Laser, whose beam is shaped and manipulated to achieve
the beam profile required for the F5-B application. The laser source itself emits a
beam that has maximum power of QCW 30 Watt (Class 3B).
When this light passes through the optical system, it is sufficiently diffused to be
classified as a Class 1 laser product.
The following basic safety guidelines must be adhered to at all times:
Do not modify any F5-B components.
Do not use a damaged Imager.
Do not remove the lens of the projector or camera.
Do not aim the laser output through optical instruments, such as eye
loupes, magnifiers or microscopes within a distance of 100 mm (4”).
Do not remove the laser assembly access cover. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
Failure to comply with these basic safety instructions may result in personal
injury or the injury of others. Even moderately powered lasers can cause
serious irreversible injury to the human eye. High-power lasers can burn skin,
and reflected laser light can be hazardous. Remember that Mantis
Vision’s laser emits IR light, which is not visible to the human eye. If you
cannot see it or feel it, it does not mean that it is not potentially hazardous if
misused.
