Safety Instructions
3. Never look directly into the laser light source or at scattered laser light from any re ective
surface. Never sight down the beam into the source.
4. Maintain experimental setups at low heights to prevent inadvertent beam-eye encounter at
eye level.
5. As a precaution against accidental exposure to the laser beam or its re ection, those using
the system have to wear laser safety glasses as required by the wavelength being generated.
Laser safety glasses can present a hazard as well as a bene t; while
they protect the eye from potentially damaging exposure, they
block light at the laser wavelengths, which prevents the operator
from seeing the beam. Therefore, use extreme caution even when
using safety glasses.
6. Avoid direct exposure to the laser light. The intensity of the beam can possibly cause esh
burns or ignite clothing.
7. Extreme care must be taken during alignment procedures with the free laser beam. Always
start alignment with a beam attenuated to a level that allows for save handling.
Caution! When opening the optical head top cover a laser beam
might emerge in upward direction if the input beam to the unit is
not properly blocked nor the laser switched OFF.

Electrical Safety
The
Pulse
Scout2
uses DC voltages in the controller and in the optical head. All units are designed
to be operated with protective covers in place.
The device complies with protection Class III / EN 61140:2007, degree of ingress protection IP20,
according to EN 60529:2010.
For the connection of the controller and the optical head only
the delivered cable may be used. It is only allowed to run the
Pulse
Scout2 with the delivered power supply.
Use only the
Pulse
Scout2 controller and the optical head that have
been delivered together. The units are electronically tted to one
another. Connection of other units might cause damage of the
delay drive and electronic components.
Users are not recommended to open the
Pulse
Scout2 controller
housing. Opening the housing is only allowed for trained service
personnel. In case it is necessary to open the housing for service
purposes the device has to be disconnected from the power sup-
ply.
