Safety
While LBP2 itself does not present the user with any safety hazards, this instrument
however is intended for use with laser systems. Therefore, the user should protect from
any hazards that the laser system may present. The greatest hazards associated with
laser systems are damage to the eyes and skin due to laser radiation.
Optical Radiation Hazards
With almost any camera used with LBP2, the optical radiation at the camera
sensor is low enough to be considered relatively harmless. Nevertheless, use of
this instrument may require the user to work within the optical path of lasers.
Exposure to radiation from these lasers may be sufficient to warrant the use of
protective equipment.
Unless the laser’s optical path is enclosed, the user should be protected against
accidental exposure. Exposure to personnel other than the user must also be
considered. Hazards include direct beam exposure and reflected radiation.
When working with an unenclosed beam path, it is advisable to do so while the
laser is powered down or at reduced power levels. Whenever there is a risk for
dangerous exposure, protective eye shields and clothing should be worn.
Electrical Hazards
LBP2 utilizes only low voltages, derived from the IEEE-1394 bus, USB bus, and
camera power supplies. Thus, there is little risk of electrical shock presented to
the user.
Always disconnect the power to the computer when installing or removing
hardware form a PC.
Always operate the computer with its covers in place and in accordance with its
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Always operate the computer with a properly grounded AC power cord.
