Safety Protection Measures for Users
WARNING
ME-LP400V-OP-6
This product falls into Class 4 laser (marking laser) and Class 2 laser (guide laser) based on the classications of the Safety
of laser products by IEC60825-1 / FDA standards 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 / JIS C 6802.
Perform the safety protection measure shown below before using the system.
For more detail instruction, refer to each of the standard.
Moreover, there is a case where related regulations are set for using the laser product depending on a country and a
region. When use this product, follow these regulations.
Construction of interlock system
⿎
For operating this product, construct the protective enclosure enclosing the range of the laser radiation for protecting
the exposure caused by the reection of the laser radiation from the marking object or the surrounding objects, and also
construct the interlock system at the same time. Additionally, install the control part that is not to exposure to the laser
beam. Refer to “Construction of Interlock System” (P.31) for details.
• Construct a system for re-pumping the laser manually as safety protection
measures after stop of the laser radiation.
Wearing protective goggles
⿎
For protection eyes of an operator, make it mandatory to wear goggles against laser beam in the laser control area.
Use the laser protective goggles or glasses applicable for wavelength of the specic to the marking laser and appropriate to
working conditions.
For this product, use the laser protective goggles or glasses which meet the following requirements.
• For LP-400 series: The goggles or glasses that have Optical Density (OD) of more than 6 at wavelength 9300 nm to
10600 nm (9.3 to 10.6 micrometers).
• For LP-V/LP-W series: The goggles or glasses that have Optical Density (OD) of more than 6 at wavelength 1060 nm to
1070 nm (1.06 to 1.07 micrometers).
• Through the goggles or glasses, the laser radiation indicator should be recognized.
• ANSI Z136 and CE certied laser safety goggles or glasses
The protective goggles can momentarily protect the eyes against the scattered beam. Never look at the direct beam or
reected beam even when the goggles are used.
Protective enclosure
⿎
In order to prevent exposure to laser beam accidentally reected from the marking object or from its circumferential areas,
place a protective enclosure so that it can enclose the area in the range of laser radiation.
Construct the enclosure with proper reectance, durability and thermal resistance materials that does not transmit a
wavelength of the marking laser.
Recommended material for the enclosures:
• For LP-400 series: Metals such as iron, aluminum, or stainless steel, or acrylic resins. For acrylic plate, its thickness
should be more than 3mm and it is recommended to use the plate that has a color to reduce the secondary radiation
beam such as spark during the lasing.
• For LP-V / LP-W series: Metals such as iron, aluminum, or stainless steel.
Design the enclosure not to leak the laser beam from the joint parts.

Key control
WARNING
ME-LP400V-OP-6
⿎
In order to avoid the operation of the system by the person without authorization and allowance, the laser safety manager
must remove key and keep it when not in use.
• It is obligated by IEC/FDA/JIS that laser products shall incorporate a keyactuated master control. Actuation of this product is basically controlled by
the key switch located on the front of the controller. However, in considering
situations when the laser marker is operating as a part of a larger system, the
laser marker turns on if the key switch is already in ON position, and power is
supplied. In this case, be sure that the external system controls the operation
of the laser marker with a key-actuated master control.
Power failure recovery
⿎
For power failure occurs on the laser marker, construct a laser re-pumping system by manual operation for safety.
Radiation direction of laser beam
⿎
To assure safety, be sure to place the protective enclosure.
Measures should be taken so that the direction of laser radiation can be seen and checked by others as well as an operator.
(The warning labels are adhered to this product with shipment. Do not peel them off.)
Termination of laser beam
⿎
Terminate a laser beam path within the marking range by using a ame-resistant object. Do not use the specular object for
the termination.
Path of laser beam
⿎
The laser beam path should be set avoiding the eye level of workers at both sitting and standing time.
Illumination
⿎
Make the area surrounding the laser marker well-lighted as much as possible.
Because the pupils are contracted in the well-lit place, it reduces the risk to the eyes.
For LP-V/LP-W series, do not expose strong beam to the laser radiation exit. Failure to do so could cause the malfunction
of the power check monitor.
Protective clothing
⿎
Exposure of the skin to the laser beam may cause a skin burn. Exposure of the clothing to the laser beam may cause
burning as well.
Wear the clothing which can minimize the exposure of the skin to the laser and which is ame-resistant.
Appointment of laser safety manager
⿎
By appointing a laser safety manager*, ensure that the laser product is handled safety.
Items that the laser safety manager has to manage and execute are as follows:
• Implementation of countermeasure against the prevention of disability from laser beam
• Setting and management of laser management area
• Management of laser device and system and key
• Inspection and maintenance of laser device, and storage of records
• Inspection, maintenance, and check the status of use of protective equipment
• Execution of safety education and training for users for the laser
* Responsible person having adequate knowledge of laser hazard evaluation and competence in protection against laser
hazards
