SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the LS2200 barcode
reader.
Standard Regulations
This barcode reader utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring
directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage,
avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source,
such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even
through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both IEC 825-1 and
CDRH 21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. The scanner is classified as
a Class 2 laser product according to IEC 825-1 regulations and as a Class II
laser product according to CDRH regulations.
There is a safety device which allows the laser to be switched on only if the
motor is rotating above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result
in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.
Any decoder used with this scanner series must include a visible indication
whenever it is on (i.e. LED power indicator) and must include easy access to
the ON/OFF switch.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on
the side of the scanner (Figure A,
