Laser Safety
•
The entire system is completely enclosed with a protective housing. This will completely
contain the invisible C02 laser beam under normal use. However, the red diode laser is a
visible laser beam. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS.
•
The user door(s) are safety interlocked and will disable the CO2 laser beam from firing when
the user door(s) are opened. The control panel will also display a flashing “RED” light to
visually indicate that the safety interlock system has been activated. The red diode laser
beam is NOT safety interlocked and can be activated with the door(s) either open or closed.
The laser system contains a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that
produces intense and invisible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6
microns in the infrared spectrum. This laser system contains a C02 laser
in a Class I enclosure. However, due to the presence of a visible red laser
diode, the entire laser system is classified as Class 3a.
