Laser Safety; Other Countries - Omron E3C-LDA-N Series Manual

Laser Safety

Handling precautions
1. The E3C-LD11N/E3C-LR11N emits a visible laser beam. Never
stare into the beam. Be sure that the end of the beam path is
terminated. The best material for terminating the beam is a surface
painted with matt paint. If there are reflective surfaces in the beam
path, be sure that the reflected beam path is contained. If
containment is not possible for the application, do not allow the
beam to travel at eye level.
2. Laser safety measures for laser devices are stipulated both in
Japan and overseas. Here, two cases are described: Application
in Japan and Application in a device to be shipped overseas.
1. Application in Japan
According to JIS C6802, the safety measures required of the user are
stipulated according to the class of the laser device. The E3C-LD11N/
E3C-LR11N is classified as a class-2 laser according to JIS C6802.
Laser Stickers
The following stickers are attached to the side of the sensor.
2. USA

regulations of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
The E3C-LD11N/E3C-LR@@N are classified as a class-II laser by the
FDA, and it has already been registered with the CDRH (Center for
Devices and Radiological Health). Ask your OMRON representative
for details.
