Safety Systems of the Device
The device was designed taking into account the strictest standards of personal safety. The
safety measures built into the system make incorrect operation impossible:
Upon activation or re-activation of the device after a power failure, the device switches into
•
STANDBY mode – the laser beam cannot be activated.
The laser beam cannot be activated either as long as the laser fiber is not connected.
•
Regarding the duration of laser activation, for safety reasons the foot switch has absolute
•
priority over the set pulse times, i. e. when the foot switch is not pressed any longer, the
emission of laser light is stopped immediately even if the preset pulse time has not ended
yet.
The foot switch has two switches, one for accessory devices and one for the laser
•
activation itself. Laser light can be emitted only while both switches are activated.
When the foot switch is activated, all buttons and the rotary knob are blocked to avoid
•
unintentional changing of the radiation parameters during the operation.
The laser power is continuously monitored during the emission of laser light.
•
The coding of the SMA-X fiber connection socket ensures that only appropriate laser fibers
•
can be connected to the device.
Using the EMERGENCY-STOP switch, the device can immediately be separated from the
•
electric circuit in case of emergencies.
