Precautions
LASER BEAM SAFETY
DANGER!
The laser incorporated by the Z4M has a central oscillating
wavelength of 780 nm and a maximum optical output of 3 mW.
Follow the instructions on this data sheet for the adjustment
and installation of the Z4M.
Make sure that the laser beam will not be directly or indirectly
reflected into human eyes. The safety distance is approximately
1 m for the Z4M-W40 and 2 m for the Z4M-W100.
Never look directly into the laser beam.
The Sensor incorporates a laser emission warning light and a
laser OFF input circuit. It is possible to interlock laser emission
via an external circuit.
To easily incorporate the most effective safety measures, use
the Z4M in combination with the Z49-SF2 Laser Safety Kit (sold
separately).
If there is a possibility of laser beam reflection by any objects
around the emitter at the time of adjustment, apply paint with a
low light reflection ratio to the objects.
Meeting FDA Regulations
The Z4M is classified as a Class IIIb laser in the U.S. The FDA
regulations require the user to ensure the following:
Laser Beam Attenuator
The system is permanently fitted with an attenuator to
prevent the user from being subjected to radiation levels in
excess of the allowable emission limit.
Remote Interlocked Connector
The system incorporates a remote interlock connector
between a remote controller and the control panel. The
potential difference should be no greater than 130 Vrms
between terminals.
Laser Radiation Emission Indicator
The system incorporates an emission indicator which gives a
visible or audible signal from 2 to 20 seconds before and
during radiation emission. Visible indicators should be visible to
users wearing laser protection glasses.
Safety Interlocks
Safety interlocks are fitted to each part of the protective housing
to prevent the emission of radiation during maintenance.
LASER REGULATIONS
The Z4M Laser Displacement Sensor meets the standards
required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
OMRON has also reported to the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH). The report includes the condition
that the Sensor be used as part of a larger system.
Labels (FDA Regulations)
Attach the following three FDA labels to the Sensor body prior
to use:

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
DANGER!
Never disassemble the Sensor. Users expose themselves to
the risk of laser radiation if they disassemble the device.
Do not attempt repairs or maintenance of the Z4M. The Z4M
contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to an
authorized OMRON agent.
COMPATIBILITY
The Z4M Laser Displacement Sensor and amplifier are adjusted as a set, and they have the same serial number. This Sensor or amplifier
cannot be used with another amplifier or Sensor.
