Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified here in may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned
to the manufacturer.
Class 2 Laser Models
CAUTION: Never stare directly into the sensor lens. Laser light can damage your eyes.
Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.
Class 2 Lasers
Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm, where eye protection is normally
afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Class 2 Laser Safety Notes
Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration
of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds.
They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm).
Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their natural aversion
to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers
•
Do not stare at the laser.
•
Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
•
Mount open laser beam paths is not at the eye level.
