Safety
The LDI incorporates Class 4 lasers which produce heat as well as visible and UV light. Proper care must
be taken in setup and operation to prevent injury.
The laser emission output apertures are SMA-905 fiber connections which are located on a connector
panel in the ‘fiber access area’ of the LDI. The fiber access area is accessible by raising the interlocked fiber
access cover (see section 6).
Locations of apertures where laser radiation exceeding Class 1 AEL specifications is emitted are shown in
Figure 1:

The LDI incorporates safety interlocks which prevent laser emission when optical fibers are not installed
in the unit.
NOTE:
The LDI will not produce laser emission from an aperture unless an external output
fiber is installed.
The LDI incorporates a remote safety interlock which prevents laser emission when the connected remote
interlock is open.
The LDI incorporates a safety interlock which prevents the unit from being powered with the protective
cover removed.
