Laser and Product Safety
Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:
• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than
cleaning of the scan window(s) is required.
• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser
product. The system uses two embedded Class 3R Visible Laser
Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an opto-
mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Maximum emitted peak output power at the window is 760µW. No
attempt should be made by the user to remove the protective hous-
ing of the scanner.
• Laser Light Viewing. The scan window is the only aperture through
which laser light may be observed in this product.
Exposure to the light emitted from the scan window(s) has been shown
not to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after
millions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser
technology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the
world.
Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:
CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard.
(Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magni-
fying glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).
To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.
