Working safely
Attention!
Access to or changes on the device, except where expressly described in this operating
manual, are not authorised.
Safety regulations
Observe the locally applicable legal regulations and the rules of the employer's liability insur-
ance association.
Qualified personnel
Mounting, commissioning and maintenance of the device must only be carried out by qual-
ified personnel.
Electrical work must be carried out by a certified electrician.
Attention, laser radiation!
If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, the retina of your eye may
be damaged!
Never look directly into the beam path!
Do not point the laser beam of the BCL 504
i
at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BCL 504
i
, avoid reflections of the laser beam off re-
flective surfaces!
The BCL 504
i
barcode readers comply with safety standards EN 60825-1 for a class 2
product. They also comply with the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10 regulations for a class II la-
ser product except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 26,
2001.
Radiant Energy: The BCL 504
i
uses a low power visible laser diode. The emitted
wavelength is 655nm. The average laser power is less than 1mW in accordance with
the definition of class 2 lasers.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments to or alterations of this product.
Do not remove the protective housing of the barcode reader. There are no user-serv-
iceable parts inside.
The scanner window is the only aperture through which light may be observed on this
product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser
beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The barcode
reader has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary beam is
emitted, the failing barcode reader should be disconnected from its power source im-
mediately.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.
The use of optical instruments or devices in combination with the device increases
the danger of eye damage!
