rectly (i.e., after reflection from a mirror or shiny surface).
The laser radiation has a high power density and exposure may result in
loss of sight.
The Z500-SW2T Sensor Head is a Class 2 Laser Product according to
EN60825-1 (IEC60825-1) and Class II Laser Product according to FDA (21
CFR1040.10) (see note). The Z500-SW6 and Z500-SW17 Sensor Heads are
Class 3B and Class IIIB Laser Products, respectively. The Z500 Series is meant
to be built into final system equipment. Pay special attention to the following

(1)Use this product as specified in the operation manual. Otherwise, you may
be exposed to hazardous laser radiation.
(2)The Z500 series radiates laser beams in the visible light range. Do not
expose your eyes directly to the laser radiation. Ensure that the laser beam
path is terminated during use. If a mirror or shiny surface is positioned in the
laser beam path, ensure that the reflected beam path is also terminated. If
the Unit must be used without terminating the laser beam path, position the
laser beam path so that it is not at eye level.
(3)To avoid exposure to hazardous laser radiation, do not displace nor remove
the protective housing during operation, maintenance, and any other servic-
ing.
(4)The user should return the product to OMRON for all repair and servicing.
(5)As for countries other than those of Europe and the U.S.A., observe the regu-
lations and standards specified by each country.
As for the Laser Product Classifications, refer to the Appendix.
