Laser safety notices
ATTENTION, LASER RADIATION – CLASS 2 LASER
PRODUCT
Do not stare into beam
The device satisfies the requirements of IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 safety
regulations for a product of laser class 2 and complies with 21 CFR
1040.10 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as described
in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
Never look directly into the laser beam or in the direction of reflected
laser beams!
If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, there is a
risk of injury to the retina.
Do not point the laser beam of the device at persons!
Interrupt the laser beam using a non-transparent, non-reflective
object if the laser beam is accidentally directed towards a person.
When mounting and aligning the device, avoid reflections of the laser
beam off reflective surfaces!
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than specified herein may result in hazardous light expo-
sure.
Observe the applicable statutory and local laser protection regula-
tions.
The device must not be tampered with and must not be changed in
any way.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. Repairs must
only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.
If the scanner motor fails during the emission of laser radiation, the
limit value of laser class 2 in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2014
could be exceeded. The device has safeguards to prevent this occur-
rence.
If the emitted laser beam is at a standstill, immediately disconnect
the faulty bar code reader from the voltage supply.
The BCL8 emits scanned optical radiation at a wavelength of 655 nm
(red).
Looking at the device's mirror and operating at the lowest scanning
rate (500 scans/s) at a viewing distance of 100 mm results in pulses
with a pulse duration shorter than 420 µs on the retina of the eye. The
total pulse peak power at the exit window is less than 1.7 mW.
The average laser power is less than 1 mW in accordance with laser
class 2 acc. to IEC 60825-1:2014
