specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Precautions on Class II/2 Laser Product
• Do not stare into the beam.
• Do not direct the beam at people or into areas where people might be present.
• Be careful of the path of the laser beam. If there is a possibility that the operator
may be exposed to the specular or diffuse reflections, block the beam by
installing a protective enclosure.
• Install the products so that the path of the laser beam is not as the same height
as that of human eye.
• Do not disassemble this product. Laser emission from this product is not auto-
matically stopped when it is disassembled.
1.5 Safety Measures Provided with the BL-700 Series
The BL-700 Series is provided with the following safety measures. Make sure
these measures function correctly before operating.
• Laser emission caution LED (LASER ON LED)
During laser emission, the LASER ON LED illuminates. The LED ON status can be
checked through the laser protective glasses.
• Laser forced OFF command
Sending the laser forced OFF command (LOCK, see P.92) to the BL-700 can
inhibit emission of laser beams. When working near the laser transmitter, be sure
to use the laser forced OFF command to avoid looking into the laser beams.
When this command is selected, the bottom STABILITY LED flashes.
