Safety Precautions
Your Q-Beam is an under 5mW, class 3R laser system. While systems with this power
level are considered ‘eye-safe’, direct viewing of laser radiation can be an acute hazard to
the eyes. Do not point beams directly at people.
Dangerous voltages may be present in the unit even when the power is turned off. Always
remove AC power when performing any service on the system. Only qualified Pulse Laser
personnel may perform electrical service to the system.
The following safety precautions should be observed at all times:
•
No smoking, drinking, or eating materials should be allowed near the system.
•
Avoid wearing rings, metallic watchbands, or other metallic and/or reflective objects
when performing service on the system.
•
Always use grounded plugs – Do not defeat ground!
•
Make sure system is mounted rigidly before public performance.
Q-Beam Manufacturers CDRH Declaration
The Q-Beam projection system is in conformance with the performance standards for laser
products under 21 CFR part 1040, except with respect to those characteristics authorized
by variance number 96V-0168, effective 6/20/1996.
Q-Beam Electrical Safety Compliance
The Q-Beam, like most other laser projection products, is not UL or CE certified. However,
unlike most other laser projection products, the Q-Beam is manufactured with these
standards in mind, using 100% UL/CE/TUV/CSA certified components. The Q-Beam is
also designed with compliance in mind for FCC standards for RF emissions, as well as
IEC standards for ESD/EFT compliance. Compliance testing will be performed on Q-
Beam early in 2000.
