Working safely

Attention: Artificial optical radiation!
The DDLS 200 data transmission system uses an infrared diode and is a device of LED
Class 1 according to EN 60825-1.
When used under reasonable conditions, devices of LED Class 1 are safe. This even in-
cludes the use of optical instruments used for the direct observation of the laser beam.
For the operation of the data transmission system with artificial optical radiation, we refer to
directive 2006/25/EC or its implementation in the respective national legislation and to the
applicable parts of EN 60825.
Attention!
Interventions and changes to the device, except where expressly described in this operating
manual, are not authorized.
