11.13 Safety
Attention
The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this instruction manual will
only apply when the unit is operated correctly as it was designed for.
The Beam Profiler must not be operated in explosion endangered environments! To prevent
the Beam Profiler from overheating, do not cover the instrument.
This precision device is only serviceable if properly packed into the complete original packaging
including the plastic foam sleeves. If necessary, ask for replacement packaging. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel!
Before applying power to the PC system used to operate the Beam Profiler, make sure that the
protective conductor of the 3 conductor mains power cord is correctly connected to the protect-
ive earth contact of the socket outlet! Improper grounding can cause electric shock with dam-
ages to your health or even death!
The instrument must only be operated with a duly shielded and low resistance USB cable de-
livered by Thorlabs.
Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be carried out or
components not supplied by Thorlabs be used. Do not stick anything into the aperture in the
middle of the Beam Profiler front! You may damage the thin-skinned slits, spoil the bearings of
the motor and/or blockade the rotating drum because there is no covering glass in front of it.
Warning
The M2MS(-AL) M² Measurement System comes with an alignment laser that is powered by a
M2MS(-AL) internal driver. Be careful when using this laser!
