Laser Safety Precautions
The laser beam in the optical sensor is very powerful and can permanently damage
eyes not protected by laser safety glasses. To avoid exposing yourself to hazardous
radiation, you must take these precautions:
•
Never look into the laser beam. If you must look at the beam,
view it from an angle and in the direction in which the beam is
travelling.
•
The beams emitted from the optical sensor are invisible to the
unaided eye. Return the beam shutter to the closed position
when the system is not in use or during setup.
•
Ensure that all direct reflections are blocked.
•
Remove all rings, watches, or jewelry from your hands when
working on or near the sensor—can cause hazardous
reflections.
•
Never install the instrument at eye level.
•
Operate the system only with people who have been instructed
in laser safety.
•
Post warning signs and lights that are active when laser is
operating.
