Working Safely

Attention Laser Radiation!
The barcode positioning system BPS 37 operates with a red light laser of class 2 acc.
to EN 60825-1 (2001/11). It also complies with the U.S. 21 CFR 1040 regulations for a
class II product. If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, the retina of
your eye may be damaged!
Never look directly into the beam path!
Do not point the laser beam of the BPS 37 at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BPS 37, take care to avoid reflections of the laser
beam off reflective surfaces!
The use of operating and adjusting devices other than those specified in this techni-
cal description, carrying out of differing procedures, or improper use of the barcode
positioning system may lead to dangerous exposure to radiation!
The use of optical instruments or devices in combination with the device increases
the danger of eye damage!
Adhere to the applicable legal and local regulations regarding protection from laser
beams acc. to EN 60825-1 in its latest version.
The BPS 37 uses a laser diode with low power in the visible red light range with an
emitted wavelength of about 650nm. The output power of the laser beam at the read-
ing window is at most 1.8 mW acc. to EN 60825-1 (2001/11).
The reading window is the only opening through which the laser radiation can escape
from the device. The housing of the BPS 37 is sealed and has no parts that need to
be adjusted or maintained by the user. The device must not be tampered with and
must not be changed in any way!
Notice!
It is important that you attach the sticky labels supplied to the device (notice signs and laser
emission symbol)! If the signs would be covered due to the installation situation of the
BPS 37, attach them close to the BPS 37 such that reading the notices cannot lead to look-
ing into the laser beam!
