CAUTIONS ON HANDLING LASER LIGHT

 

 For the purpose of preventing any injury which may occur to the user by the use 

of the laser product in advance, the following standards have been established by 

the IEC Standards, JIS Standards, GB Standards and FDA Standards.
IEC  :   IEC 60825-1

-2007

JIS  :   JIS C 6802

-2011

GB  :   GB 7247.1

-2012

FDA :   PART 1040.10

These standards classifies laser products according to the level of hazard and 

provide the safety measures for respective classes.

 FDA certification label

<Label position>

 

 Install the product so the laser beam comes higher or lower than eye level in order 

not to watch the beam directly during operation. Laser safety distance (Nominal 

Ocular Hazard Distance: NOHD) is approx. 1.4m. The laser beam must be termi

-

nated at the end of its path by a diffuse reflector or an absorber.

 

 Please contact our company if the system breaks down. It is not equipped with a 

function that stops laser radiation automatically during disassembling the sensor 

head. The users therefore may be exposed to laser beam in disassembling the 

sensor head.

 

●  When this product is used in China, affix the Chinese warning label (accessory) 

on the label in the product.

 

 

Do not use the system in the manner other than specified in this Instruction Manual.

2) Use the external ND filter (optional) in case the amount of reflected beam is too large on Specular Reflection 

installation.

 

3) The measurement range is limites between -70 and +200mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs), or be

tween +100 and +200mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs).

 

4) This is based on the FDA Standard, according to Laser Notice No. 50 of the FDA Standard.

 

5) The figure shows the value at measurement center distance. It is determined by 1/e

 (approximately 13.5%) 

of center beam intensity. Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting 

point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.

 

6) The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.08%F.S. or less.
