Introduction
The LSS10 Laser Safety Sign Lightbox provides a clear indication that a laser system
is in use by illuminating the laser safety sign (sold sepa rately) that states the
appropriate warning message and laser classification. The lightbox accepts any one
of the LSS10 series Laser Safety Signs available from our website. Signs can be
quickly interchanged making it easy to update signage to meet your cha nging laser
set up requirements.
The box operates at 100 to 240 VAC, (i.e. USA and EU regions) and has two safety
interlock options (internal and external - see Section 4.2.) that prevent the use of
interlock-equipped laser systems unless the safety light is turned on. The external
interlock socket accepts a 2.5 mm phono jack (supplied).
The lightbox is permanently fixed to a wall via the mounting slots in the rear panel.
Two sets of slots are available to allow positioning of the controls for left or right
handed operation. A convenient line cord latch preven ts the AC line cord from
disengaging from the unit.
Illumination is controlled by turning a knob on the right hand side of the unit, allowing
the brightness to be adjusted to suit the specific location of use. An internal jumper
can be activated which bypasses the external control, thereby making the brightness
tamperproof. Illumination is then controlled by a set of switches on the circuitboard -
see Section 4.5.
