Safety instructions
DANGER
Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation
Depending on the measuring principle used, the laser beam is reflected at the measuring tip
(laser class 4). The reflected beam is usually not visible.
X
Please wear safety goggles (OD 6) adapted to the power, power density, laser wave length
and operating mode of the laser beam source in use.
X
Wear suitable protective clothing and protective gloves.
X
Protect yourself from laser radiation by separating protective devices (e.g. by using appro-
priate shielding).
X
In measurement mode, a safety distance of one meter to the BeamMonitor BM+ must be
maintained even when wearing safety goggles and safety clothing.
DANGER
Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation
If the device is moved from its calibrated position, increased scattered or directed reflection
of the laser beam occurs during measuring operation (laser class 4).
X
Mount the device so that it cannot be moved by an unintentional knock or cables being
pulled accidentally.
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazards due to scattered or directed laser radiation
When the BeamMonitor BM+ is being operated, the irradiation must be fully absorbed be-
hind the measurement zone. Fire bricks or other partly-absorbing surfaces are not suitable.
X
Use an adequate absorber. Dependent on the application, PRIMES offers suitable absorbers,
such as the PowerMonitor PM 48/100.
X
Don’t store any flammable materials or highly flammable substances at the measuring loca-
tion.
CAUTION
Risk of injury caused by rotating parts
The measuring tip of the BeamMonitor BM+ rotates at high speed during the measuring
operation.
X
Do not reach into or hold any objects into the beam entrance of the device (see Fig. 7.1 on
page 13).
