Safety information
Shock hazard!
Depending on the type of device, the AM
S
60 Connection Module (accessory) for the CLX
is connected to a mains voltage of 230 V AC 50 Hz or 115 V AC 50/60 Hz.
¾
When working with electrical equipment, always follow the relevant safety specifications.
Laser beam can cause blindness!
The CLX uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage your eyesight.
¾
Never look directly into the path of the beam (similar to sunlight).
¾
Do not direct the laser beam at other persons.
¾
When mounting and aligning the CLX, avoid reflections caused by reflective surfaces.
¾
Do not open the housing.
(Opening the housing does not deactivate the laser diode.)
¾
Observe the most recent laser specifications (DIN EN 60825-1, latest version).
Laser power
The laser operates at a wave length of
λ
= 650nm (visible red light). The power output at
the reading window is max. 2.8 mW.
The emitted radiation is not dangerous to human skin.
Laser warnings
The laser warning symbols applicable for Europe (
) can be found on the CLX at the
following locations:
•
The laser warning symbol is positioned on the reading window. The GB/US laser warning
is located on the side containing the electrical connections (see
Note
A set of laser warnings in German/US English and French/US English is included in the de-
livery scope. The GB English/US English warnings can be pasted over with these if neces-
sary.
If the CLX is installed in a machine/panel with the result that the laser warning labels
are no longer visible, additional warnings (not included in the scope of delivery) must
be provided on the machine beside the emergence aperture of the laser beam.
