ii LaserSpeed Pro 8500-4 Instruction Handbook: Caution
A class 3B laser must also have a key switch to power the laser, ensuring that only trained personnel can op-
erate the instrument. Because the location of the gauge can often make it difficult to access a key switch, the
key switch needs to be installed by the final user. It should be placed in a location that will be readily accessi-
ble to the operators. For more information on installing the laser key switch, see the
Installing the System sec-
tion of the Instruction Handbook.
The user of a laser device must comply with a different set of regulations. Many countries and individual
states have passed legislation regarding the use of laser products.
The following system specifications will help establish appropriate safety measures.

Laser Safety Precautions
The laser beam in the optical gauge is very powerful and can permanently damage eyes not protected by la-
ser 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 direc-
tion in which the beam is travelling.

The beams emitted from the Model LS Pro 8500-4 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 jewellery from your hands when working on or near the gauge
—these
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.
If your country or state has no regulations governing the safe use of lasers, NDC Technologies recommends
that you follow the guidelines specified by the American National Standard for the safe use of lasers (ANSI
Z136.1
–2014). For a copy of this document, write to:
