CE Compliance
CE marking states the compliance of the product with essential requirements
listed in the applicable European directive. Since the directives and applicable
standards are subject to continuous updates, and since Datalogic promptly
adopts these updates, therefore the EU declaration of conformity is a living document. The EU declaration of conformity is available for competent authorities
d customers through Datalogic commercial reference contacts. Since April
an
20th, 2016 the main European directives applicable to Datalogic products
require inclusion of an adequate analysis and assessment of the risk(s). This
evaluation was carried out in relation to the applicable points of the standards
listed in the Declaration of Conformity. Datalogic products are mainly designed
for integration purposes into more complex systems. For this reason it is under
the responsibility of the customer to do a new risk assessment regarding the
final installation.
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Modifications or changes to this equipment without the expressed written
approval of Datalogic could void the permission to use the equipment.
This laser marker complies with PART 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This laser marker generates,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
uses,
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this laser marker in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his/her own expense.

Overview
The Fiber laser marker developed and manufactured by Datalogic employs the
most advanced technologies with regards to the opto-mechanical parts, the
electronic control of laser beam power, communication and the overall safety of
the entire marker.
The Arex™ 400 laser marker features a contro
rack size is standard 19" 2.5U. The scan head compact dimensions make it easy
to integrate.
All product connections are on the rear or front of the control rack.
Laser Source
On Arex™ 400 laser marker it is used a sealed fiber laser source. This source is
based on the new fiber solid state technology. It guaranties high stability, lower
sensitivity to optical misalignment and a longer product lifetime.
Galvanometric scan head
The scan head features two deflection mirrors that deflect the beam in X and Y
directions, depending on the graphics/pattern to be reproduced.

Operation of a laser marker with galvanometric scanning
During the marking the laser generates an invisible, high-energy infrared beam.
In order to obtain a more accurate focus, the laser beam is first enlarged using
an optical expansion system and then deflected by a scanning system consisting
of two mirrors mounted on galvanometric motors.
These mirrors deflect the beam in a controlled path along the
cessing of the product surface occurs by coordinating the movement of the two
irrors and the turning on/off of the laser beam.

On moisture condensation
If the laser marker is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture
may condense inside or outside the laser product. This moisture condensation
may cause a malfunction of the laser marker.
Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring the laser marker from a cold place into a
warm place (or vice versa) and when you use the laser marker in a humid place.
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the laser marker and wait about 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate.
How to avoid moisture condensation
Before moving the laser marker from a cold place into a warm place, put it in a
plastic bag and seal it tightly. Remove the bag when the air temperature inside
the plastic bag has reached the ambient temperature (after about 1 hour).
