The device complies with laser class 2. The entire reading window is a laser output
aperture.
NOTE
No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with laser class 2.
Warning symbol on the device
The colored laser warning label is fitted in combination with the type label on the rear of
the device.
In addition to other information, the type label of the device in use also contains the
laser output data. This consists of: Laser output power (maximum/average), wave‐
length or wavelength range, and pulse time duration. The data is located on the lower
section of the type label,

NOTE
Additional laser warning label
If the laser warning label applied to the device is concealed when the device is installed
into a machine or paneling, the laser beam outlet opening must be suitably labeled. For
this purpose, an additional warning label of the same type must be applied next to the
outlet opening.
Controlling the laser diode
When operating properly, the device only switches the laser diode on if there is an
object in the reading area, or if a reading is required (cyclic reading operation).
A laser timeout can switch off the laser diode automatically in this type of object trigger
control if
the pulse has stopped for too long
(e.g.
the conveyor system has stopped). In
this case, the current internal reading interval of the device remains open.
Irrespective of the selected configuration type, the laser timeout can be set as follows:
