1.1
The user is responsible for safe operation and for safeguarding the surrounding area against
hazards that can be caused by laser radiation. OEM customers must ensure compliance with
all local and national regulations.
1.2
The deflection unit is designed to deflect an input laser beam and output it again.
The deflection unit cannot block or weaken the laser beam. To prevent unwanted emission of
the laser beam, above a particular danger class the laser device must be fitted with a shutter
( page 5, Classification of laser devices).
The laser device must be of sufficient quality that the laser beam can only be emitted at the
beam output on the deflection unit.
1.3
The following signs must be attached to the deflection unit. These signs may not be removed.
Signs that have become illegible must be replaced.

Rating plate
The rating plate and the identification code printed on it allow
the determination of the deflection unit type ( page 12, Rating
plate code). The serial number and the item number are also
used to identify the deflection unit.
The CE symbol confirms the deflection unit's compliance with
European directives. It indicates that the deflection unit is
approved for free trade within the EU.
The seal label warns against unauthorized opening of the
deflection unit. If the seal is broken, all warranty claims against
RAYLASE are void.
At the point where laser radiation is emitted, a laser warning
sign must be attached. It provides information about the type
of radiation, specific hazards and the degree of protection. The
laser warning sign is attached by the OEM customer in accord-
ance to the laser device's classification ( page 5, Classifica-
tion of laser devices).
The mirrors of the SUPERSCAN II high-speed versions are
made of beryllium. The rating plate indicates if this applies to
the present deflection unit ( page 13, Detailed Description).
In addition, these deflection units are provided with the adja-
cent sign.
Also note  page 7, Special hazards caused by mirrors made
of beryllium.
