Important
Bar code scanners in series CLV65x operate with a laser of wavelength
λ
= 658 nm (red
light). The radiation emitted is not harmful to human skin.
The product is classified in laser class 2 (laser class II) in accordance with EN 60825-1,
IEC 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10 (see the warning sign on the device for the date of pu-
blication)
Maintenance is not required to ensure compliance with laser class 2.
Damage to the eyes through laser radiation!
The bar code scanner operates with a red light laser of class 2. Looking at the laser's light
path for a longer period of time can damage the eye's retina.
The entire reading window is the LED radiation outlet opening.
Caution - use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Never look directly into the light path (similar to sun light).
Never direct the device's laser beam at the eyes of persons.
When installing and aligning the bar code scanner, avoid laser beam reflections from
reflective surfaces.
Do not open the housing. (Opening does not interrupt the activation of the laser diode
by the reading pulsing.)
Always observe the latest valid version of laser protection regulations.
