4. Installation Safety Requirements
Because of the possible hazard increase of scanning, stopping, or slowing to an unsafe
velocity, it is required that the controller software shuts down the laser power (a scanning
safeguard).
In all cases, we recommend that you fully enclose and interlock the zone of hazard for your
application to prevent possible opening while the laser is energized. When laser radiation
exceeding Class 1 levels may exit the enclosure, you must have suitable protection for eyes
available.
At no time should you stare into the beam, place any parts of your body in
the beam path, or expose yourself to reflections of powerful beams. You
should use only a Class 1 HeNe Laser for alignment. If this is not possible,
you should use the available laser's lowest power setting and remote beam
sensing techniques.
Using optical instruments with this product increases eye hazard.
5. Safety Precautions During Usage
To maintain the necessary safety during usage of Nutfield Technology scanners please take
following actions:
a. Please avoid any mechanical tension on the interconnection cables.
b. Protect the scanners from humidity, dust and aggressive steam to avoid damages to mirrors,
objectives or electronics.
c. Always use proper lens cleaning cloth or cotton swabs to touch optical components.
d. Protect the scanners from electromagnetic fields and electrical discharges. This can severely
damage interface and servo boards. Damage to the electronic circuits caused by electrical
discharge may not make it immediately apparent – but may result in malfunction at some later
time thus affecting reliability of the product.
