Laser Safety
CAUTION: The AF910 contains a Class 3b laser. The AF910 is sold as an
OEM device and is intended to be integrated into systems. Precautions should
be taken to avoid direct eye exposure. The following precautions should be used
as guidelines when installing into an existing system.
Precautions for Safe Operation of Class 3b laser products

Keep the protective covers on the unit. Do not operate the unit with the covers
removed for any reason.

Avoid looking at the laser output beam.

Do not wear reflective jewelry while using the laser as it might cause inadvertent
hazardous reflections.

Us protective eyewear. Consult the ANSI, AC GIH, or OSHA standards listed at
the end of this section for guidance on goggles and safety matters.

Avoid blocking the laser beam with any part of the body.

Establish a controlled access area for laser operation. Limit access to those
trained in the principles of laser safety.

Maintain a high ambient light level in the laser operation area so the eye pupil
remains constricted, thus reducing the possibility of hazardous exposure.

Post prominent warning signs near the laser operation area.

Provide enclosures for the beam path whenever possible.

Set up an energy absorber to capture the laser beam, preventing unnecessary
reflections or scattering.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this User’s Manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Follow the instructions within this manual carefully to ensure the safe operation of your
laser. At all times during laser operation, maintenance or servicing avoid unnecessary
exposure to laser or collateral radiation that exceeds the accessible emission limits listed
in “Performance Standards for Laser Products,” United States Code of Federal
Regulations, 21 CFR 1040.10(d). This information is also available in EN60825-1:1994,
Section 8.2, titled “Measurements of Laser Radiation for Determining Classification.”
Preventative Maintenance for Safety
Preventative maintenance is required to ensure the laser remains in compliance with
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) regulations and European Norm
(EN) requirements. This laser product complies with Title 21 of the United States Code
of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Subchapter J, Parts 1040.10, as applicable, and with
EN60825-1:1994, Part 1 for a Class 3b laser, as applicable.
