13.1 Safety instructions and precautions
Laser Radiation Hazard: Laser radiation can be harmful to eye!
The laser pointer operates with a class 2 red light laser. Direct prolonged viewing
of a laser beam can injure the retina. There-fore, the following safety precautions
must be strictly observed, otherwise the laser may not be operated!
• Only use the laser to align and focus the pyrometer. Deactive the laser
immediately afterwards.
• Never look directly into the laser beam path.
• Do not leave the instrument unattended when the laser is activated.
• Do not point the laser beam at any person.
• During pyrometer installation and alignment, make sure to avoid the possibility
of laser light reflections caused by reflective surfaces.
• All currently valid laser safety standards must be observed.
Laser Power
The laser operates at a wavelength of 630 - 670 nm (visible red light). The emitted
power of the laser beam at the lens opening is max. 1.0 mW. Under normal
operating conditions, the emitted radiation does not present a danger to human
skin. This laser product is classified according to laser class 2, IEC 60825-1.
Laser Warning Label
The black and yellow laser warning label is affixed on the laser pointer.
