The VB24 uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source; the light emitted has a wavelength
between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section “Safety Precautions” at the beginning of this
manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
