Safeguards
and
Precautions
Diode Laser:
Max. output power: <1 milliwatt
Wavelength: 650 nanometers (visible light)
Min. divergence: 0.5 milliradian
Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50 of June 2007.
Laser hazards:
• Eye injury from beam - Do not look into the direct or refl ected beam; can
cause eye injury up to 25 ft (7.5 m) away.
• Visual interference (glare) with pilots and drivers - Interferes with vision up to
525 ft (160 m) away. Can be a distraction up to 1 mile (1.6 km) away. NEVER
point any laser towards aircraft or vehicles; it is unsafe and illegal.
Safe use guidance:
Class 2 lasers are considered safe for accidental eye exposure. Do not look
or stare into beam. Do not aim at aircraft. This is not a toy. Always supervise
children.

OVERVIEW:
Laser Module [part number 6281-020]
Models 100 (optional) 300 & 500 (included).
The Nova-Pro 100 model has an optional laser module
that can be installed in the stroboscope to make it a fullyfunctional strobe/non-contact tachometer. Once in position
the integral laser module will become part of the user interface controls.
Laser Module Dock [part number [6281-021]
The Laser Module and Laser Module Dock allows you to extend
the versatility of the Nova-Pro 300 and 500 LED Stroboscopes
by positioning the laser source remotely away from the handheld cradle. It can be mounted to a tripod using a standard
quarter-twenty [¼-20] mounting screw.
The Laser Dock with integrated Laser Module has a 2.5 meter
[eight foot] wire length terminating in an eighth-inch mini
jack, which should be plugged into the external INPUT port on
the side of the stroboscope. This will charge the Laser Diode.
Do not look directly into the output port of the laser to see if
it is working, this is a Class 2 Laser device.
The laser becomes illuminated when you squeeze the trigger
on the handle or have engaged the full-time laser trigger
mode. When pointed at moving objects the laser receptor
recognizes refl ective pulses and inputs these signals to the
strobe/tachometer. You can use these to measure speed or
trigger a fl ash, effectively capturing that moment in time using
