2. Laser Safety
2.1 scanCONTROL 2900-50
The scanCONTROL 2900-50 sensors operate with a semiconductor laser with a wave-
length of 658 nm (visible/red). The laser operation is indicated visually by the LED on the
sensor.
When operating the scanCONTROL 2900-50 sensors, the relevant regulations according
to EN 60825-1 (IEC 60825, Part 1 of 07/2015) and the applicable accident prevention
regulations must be followed.
The housings of the scanCONTROL 2900-50 optical sensors must only be opened by
authorized personnel
, see 1.6. For repair and service purposes, the sensors should
always be returned to the manufacturer.
2.2 Laser Class 2M
scanCONTROL 2900-50 sensors with a maximum laser power up to 8 mW , see 9.4 (sec-
tion 3.2) are classified in Laser Class 2M (IIM).
Accordingly, the following applies:
With laser equipment of the Class 2M, the eye is not put in danger during random, short-
term exposure to the laser radiation, i.e. exposure duration up to 0.25 s.
A direct glimpse into the beam can be dangerous if the eye-closure reflex is deliberately
suppressed, e.g. during adjustment. Direct viewing into the beam with optical aids, e.g. a
magnifying glass, is dangerous.
Laser equipment of the Class 2M can be employed without further protective measures,
when deliberate viewing into the laser beam or into a beam reflected by mirrors is not
longer than 0.25 s.
Since generally the presence of the eye-closure reflex should not be assumed, one
should close the eyes or immediately turn away if the laser radiation impinges on the
eye.
The following information labels are fitted to the sensor housing (front and rear side):

Lasers of Class 2M are not subject to notification and a laser protection officer is not
required. Mark the laser area recognizable and everlasting.

If both information labels are hidden in the installed state, the user must ensure that
additional labels are fitted at the point of installation.
