Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
WARNING
The device conforms to the most stringent
requirements of the relevant standards and
regulations.
Yet, the possibility of causing interference in
other devices cannot be totally excluded.
Laser classification
The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument:
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance
with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2007 „Radiation safety of
laser products“
Laser Class 2 products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it
towards other people unnecessarily. Eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion
responses including the blink reflex.
WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical
aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.
CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be
hazardous to the eyes.
Labelling
Subject to change (drawings, descriptions
and technical data) without prior notice.
