  • Page 7: Basic Safety Instructions

    MicroSpotMonitor-Compact Basic Safety Instructions Intended Use The MicroSpotMonitor-Compact is exclusively intended for measurements which are carried out in or nearby the optical path of lasers with a power range between 10 mW and 1 kW. Please mind and adhere to the specifications and limit values given in chapter 19 „Technical Data“ on page 56. Other forms of usage are improper.
  • Page 8 MicroSpotMonitor-Compact • Install safety switches and/or emergency safety mechanisms that enable immediate closure of the laser shutter. • Ensure that the device is mounted securely to prevent any movement of the device relative to the beam axis and thus reduce the risk of scattered radiation. This in the only way to ensure optimum performance during the measurement.
