The GL3000T Laser is classified internationally as a Class 3B Laser Product. The GL3000T is classified in the USA as a Class
IIIa Laser Product. Lasers are used every day in construction and alignment applications. With every use, eye safety is a
consideration. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
The Operators of the laser are effectively the “Safety Persons”’ and are responsible for preventing accidents and
unwanted exposure.
(Note for NON US OPERATION) The Operation of Class 3B lasers are generally to be overseen by a Laser Safety Officer
(LSO) in your facility or organization. For further data regarding suggested or required operating parameters consult
the IEC 60825 family of standards and/or your national and local government organization.
View or looking at the laser spot impacted on the road or highway is normal operating procedure from the GL3000T and
is how the product is used for guidance applications. There is no danger or hazard to the Operator or Driver using the
laser in this manner. However, do not directly expose eyes (i.e., do not look back up into the laser source) between the
laser aperture and the termination point of the beam on the ground.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS (Cont’d)
CAUTION!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other that those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When installing the laser inside the cab and shoot the laser beam through the windshield. This is an unsafe
practice as the laser beam can reflect back off the windshield into the Operator’s eyes (backscatter).
Do not mount allowing the laser beam to be directed to hit any shiny or reflective surface on the vehicle,
such as chrome, side mounted rear view mirrors, or glass surfaces.
Lasers are bright lights that can or may be aimed. Be aware of people and your surroundings.
Therefore, think of the laser as the sun, something you do not stare back into. Do not look at the laser
through optical devices, or look at it reflected off of shiny surfaces such as chrome, glass or mirrors.
Turn laser off in the event of potential exposures: i.e., stopped at a crosswalk in the vicinity of pedestrian
traffic. Watch for the reflection off of bumpers, windows, etc.
Do not open laser housing, no user serviceable parts inside. Service to be performed ONLY by the
manufacture.
NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) for this product ≈ 530m
Aided eye viewing 'intrabeam exposure' is not considered reasonably foreseeable based on the application
and use of this laser product. Accidental eye exposure (unaided eye viewing) is unlikely, but is limited to
Class IIIa / 3R levels, and does not require laser safety eyewear.
