Safety
The Renishaw HS20 laser is designed for integration into
the primary position feedback loop of a motion system.
It is essential that the system is installed in accordance
with the instructions in this installation guide and it is the
responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that, in the
event of a failure of any part of the Renishaw system, the
motion system remains safe.
In the case of motion systems with powers or speeds
capable of causing injury, it is essential that appropriate
safety protection measures are included in the machine
design. Further guidance on this can be found in
EN12100:2010 Safety of Machinery - General principles
for design - Risk assesment and risk reduction". It is the
responsibility of the application integrator to ensure that the
complete machine or equipment complies with appropiate
standards. The user is also referred to Appendix D which
contains additional safety information.
Laser safety
DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE BEAM
In accordance with EN60825-1, EN60825-2 and US
standards 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice no. 50, dated June
24, 2007. Renishaw HS20 lasers are Class 2 lasers and
safety goggles are not required, since the blink reaction of
a human will protect the eye from damage. Do not stare
into the beam or shine it into the eyes of others. It is safe
to view a diffuse-reflected beam. Do not dismantle the unit
in any way; doing so may expose laser radiation in excess
of Class 2 limits. For further product and motion system
safety information refer to Appendix D.
Electrical safety
Do not remove any part of the housing; to do so may
expose a danger of high voltage electric shock. Defective
products should be returned to Renishaw for service.
Safety information
The following symbol is used in this manual wherever
important safety information is present.

Before proceeding with any electrical connection
or operation of the laser system, refer to the
General safety information in the introduction.
Warranty
Renishaw plc warrants its equipment provided that it
is installed exactly as defined in associated Renishaw
documentation.
FCC (USA only)
