5 INSTALLATION
Warning:

The laser beam can cause severe injury to the eyes and the skin. Note that
even apparently matt objects can reflect the wavelength of laser beams. All
personnel in the room must wear appropriate laser protection goggles and, if
necessary, protective clothing.

Never look directly at the laser beam, even when wearing protective gog-
gles.

The deflection unit may require the laser device to be assigned to a different
danger class (

page 5, Classification of laser devices).

The laser must be switched off during installation.

We recommend that the laser area is completely protected by an appropri-
ate working chamber. If this is not possible, appropriate protective measures
for the laser class must be implemented.

The mirrors in the deflection unit must move freely after installation of the
deflection unit. No components of the laser device may protrude into the de-
flection unit.

The laser device must be of sufficient quality that the laser beam can only be
emitted at the beam output on the deflection unit.

The "Laser radiation" national accident prevention regulations must be ob-
served.

Connecting cables may not be subjected to mechanical strain.

The deflection unit must be protected against moisture, dust and corrosive
vapors.

The optical components may only be touched when wearing suitable cotton
gloves.

The deflection unit must be protected against static discharge and strong
electromagnetic fields.

The power density of the input laser radiation may not exceed the maximum
permissible power density of the optical components of the deflection unit.

The beam path and the function of the deflection unit must be tested after
installation.
We recommend performing all tests with a danger class 1 or 2 laser to min-
imize the risk of injury. If this is not possible, the laser used must be set to
the lowest possible power. This setting must be secured against accidental
adjustment.
Procedure
o
Carefully remove the protective cover over the beam input with a small screwdriver.
o
To install the deflection unit, insert locating pins into the corresponding holes and attach
the deflection unit to the prepared installation surface using screws.
Note: The deflection unit may only be installed using the pins and screws specified by
RAYLASE. Follow the installation drawing supplied.
o
For details of how to connect the deflection unit to a RAYLASE control card, refer to the
corresponding manual.
