Laser Safety

The scanCONTROL 26xx/29xx sensors operate with a semiconductor laser with a wa-
velength of 658 nm (visible/red). Operation of the laser is indicated visually by the LED
on the sensor, see operating instructions, Chap. 3.3.
When operating the scanCONTROL 29xx sensors, the relevant regulations according
to IEC 60825, Part 1of 05/2014 and the applicable accident prevention regulations must
be followed.
The laser warning labels for Germany have already been attached. For other non spe-
aking countries, an IEC standard label is included in delivery and the versions valid for
the user's country must be attached before the device is put into operation for the first
time.

If both warning labels are covered over when the unit is installed, the user must
ensure that supplementary labels are applied.
Laser Class 2M
The sensors fall within laser class 2M. The laser is operated on a pulsed mode, the
maximum optical power is ≤ 8 mW.
Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front and rear side) of the sensor
housing:

Mark the laser area recognizable and everlasting.
Lase Class 3B
The sensors fall within laser class 3B. The laser is operated on a pulsed mode, the
maximum power is ≤ 50 mW.
Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front and rear side) of the sensor
housing:
