Eye Safety Standard for Imager Engines

The HC700-G and the HCe700-G is manufactured with the following
Imager Engine options:
- 5300 series with Laser aiming technology.
- 5100 series with light emitting diodes aiming technology.
Eye Safety Standard for 5100 Engine
The standard, "IEC 60825-1 Safety of Laser Products"
gives guidelines as to the acceptable brightness of lasers and LEDs.
This depends on how bright the LED is itself, but also how it is
arranged in a device. The Standard sets the acceptable levels of light
and testing conditions for the product. This Standard, like many oth-
ers, is written by a group of technical experts and undergoes a rigor-
ous approval process prior to adoption. One should also note that the
specifics of this Standard assume exposure conditions and distances
that present a worse case operation of the product as compared to
the typical and intended operation of this device. Class 1 instruments
are required to carry the following symbol either on the item, or in
manuals to indicate the level of safety when compared against the
Standard:
The Standard also recommends that the following be included in
user documentation:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
!
dures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution
Note: This warning states that altering the inner parts of the scanner
in a way not specified in the user guide may cause light
levels to exceed Class 1 limits. It is not an issue when using a hand
held scanner under normal conditions.
