Safety And Ozone Emissions Information - Pitney Bowes 2030 Manual

7.7 Safety And Ozone Emissions Information

The information contained in the following Section is presented to insure that you
are familiar with all Model 2030 operational aspects and safety issues.
7.7.1 Safety Information
The Model 2030 is UL listed, CSA certified, and GS licensed.
1. Laser Safety
The laser component of the Model 2030 is certified as a Class 1 laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the "Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act" of 1968. This means that the unit is completely confined within
protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from
the machine during any phase of user operation.
2. CDRH Regulations
The Center of Device and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2,
1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1,
1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
This unit complied with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J. at the
date of manufacture.
CAUTION: Use of controls and adjustments of performance of procedures
other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
7.7.2 Ozone Information
The high voltage supplies found in laser engines and photocopies generate
ozone gas (03) as a by-product of the electrophotographic process. Ozone is
only generated while the fax unit is printing.
1. UL Standards for Ozone
The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been established by
Underwriters Laboratory (UL). The 2030's ozone emissions are less than
specified by this standard.
Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies have
established limits to the amount of ozone to which employees may be
exposed. The work place specifications are:
• A person may not be exposed to an average concentration of greater
than 0.1 part per million (PPM) of ozone for a period of eight hours.
