NFORMATION
The SP * ACE scanner requirements for laser safety are based on IEC
Standard Publication 825 and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J
and (CDRH) Laser Product Performance Standard published No-
vember 28, 1978, User information [1040.10(h)1]:
1. User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the
system, other than window replacement and clean-
ing is required.
2. Radiant Energy. This product uses an embedded
Class 3B Visible Laser Diode (VLD) system operat-
ing at 670nm in an optomechanical scanner resulting
in less than 348
µ
W peak output power as measured
by IEC 825 Class 1 specification. Radiated power
observed 20cm above the top deck through a 7mm
aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than
2.5
µ
W per CDRH Class IIa specification.
3. Laser Light Viewing. The scanner’s window is the
only aperture through which laser light may be
observed in this product.
4. No adjustments or alteration of the scanner’s
housing are to be attempted by the user.
5. The failure of the scanner motor while the unit is
continuing to emit a laser beam causes the emission
levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation.
This scanner has safeguards to prevent this occur-
rence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is ever
emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected
from its power source until repaired by a qualified
technician.
