Laser Class - MICRO-EPSILON ILD2200-2 Instruction Manual

Laser Class

2.
The sensors operate with a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 670 nm (visible/red). The laser is
operated on a pulsed mode, the pulse frequency corresponding to the measuring frequency (for example
f = 10 kHz). The duration of the pulse is regulated in dependency on the object to be measured and can form
an almost permanent beam (for example t = 1 up to 80 μs). The maximum optical output is ≤ 1 mW. The
sensors are classified in Laser Class 2 (II). Class 2 (II) lasers are not notifiable and a laser protection officer is
not required either.

Although the laser output is low looking directly into the laser beam must be avoided. Due to the visible light
beam eye protection is ensured by the natural blink reflex. The housing of the optical sensors may only be
opened by the manufacturer. For repair and service purposes the sensors must always be sent to the
manufacturer. The following warning labels are attached to the cover (front and/or rear side) of the sensor
housing. The laser warning labels for Germany have already been applied (see above). Those for other non
German-speaking countries an IEC standard lable is included in delivery and the versions applicable to the
user's country must be applied before the equipment is used for the first time. Laser operation is indicated by
LED, see Chap. 3.4.
