When working with a Class 2 laser, the generally applicable regulations and notes on
operational safety regarding laser protection apply.
b
Perform installation in accordance with laser safety regulations.
b
Avoid glare in the work area in all life cycles.
b
Suitably shield or cover the affected areas. The area may need to be cordoned
off, if necessary. In this way, possible secondary hazards due to reflection from
machine parts, for example, can be reduced or eliminated.

Switching off the laser
The laser is switched on and off by the evaluation unit via the modulation pin and is
only switched on when it is needed for a scan during an inspection. Switching off the
laser unit in phases in which it is not required serves to optimize the laser service life.
NOTE
Switching off the laser via the modulation pin is only a functionality to extend the laser
service life, but is not a safety-related function according to the Machinery Directive.
b
To switch off the laser, disconnect the power supply of the overall system.
