Laser output

Pulse duration: continuous wave
Wavelength: 670 nm
Beam divergence: 2 mrad
The RSP2 and SFP1 bodies contain embedded Class 3B laser sources, and should not be used in the event of serious damage to, or rupture of,
any part of the product. In such cases, IMMEDIATELY disconnect the power source, remove and do not attempt to re-use the parts. Contact
your supplier for advice.
Under normal operation, the laser beam is totally enclosed within the probe body and stylus holder body and is inaccessible to the user.
Removing the stylus holder breaks two sets of interlock switch contacts, indicated as †, to automatically switch off the laser power and prevent
exposure to the beam.
At suitable intervals, the interlock contacts should be inspected and checked to ensure that they are clean and free from airborne
contamination, such as dust, debris or swarf. In unlikely circumstances, such contamination could cause a short circuit of the pins and thus
increase the risk of sending power to the laser, without a stylus holder being attached. Never connect conducting objects to, or between, the
contacts. Follow the cleaning instructions in the maintenance section.
Before inspecting, always remove the RSP2 or SFP1 from the head. Never look directly into the laser aperture, indicated as ‡, whilst the RSP2
or SFP1 body is still connected to the probe head.
In the unlikely event of the stylus holder stem breaking without dislodging the interlocked connection between probe and stylus holder, there
is a small risk of exposure to class 3R laser light from the aperture of the broken stylus stem. Direct viewing may cause permanent damage to
eyesight and should be avoided. Should breakage occur, avoid looking directly at any emitted or reflected laser light and press the emergency
stop button on the hand control unit to avoid unexpected movement. Then manually remove the probe and stylus holder from the REVO-2
head. Once this is done, the machine should be moved manually clear of the part and the damage assessed. Under no circumstances should
any attempt be made to repair or re-use the damaged stylus holder. Contact your supplier for advice.
