FH Series Marking Head operator’s manual
Agency compliance
The FH Series Marking Head with its associated Fiber Link Controller Card has been tested and certified
to comply with certain United States and European Union (EU) directives. These directives impose
product performance requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and product safety
characteristics for laser products. The associated directives and specific provisions to which the FH Series
Marking Head must comply are identified and described in the following paragraphs.
Federal Communications Commission
requirements
The United States Communication Act of 1934 vested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
with the authority to regulate equipment that emits electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency
spectrum. The purpose of the Communication Act was to prevent harmful electromagnetic interference
(EMI) from affecting authorized radio communication services in the frequency range above 9 kHz.
SYNRAD’s FH Series Marking Head has been tested and found to comply by demonstrating performance
characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of CFR 47, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart J.
With respect to instances of electromagnetic interference by other devices, SYNRAD defines marking
variations to be an “acceptable loss of performance” as long as the following criteria are met: (1) there is
no damage to the marking equipment or machinery into which it is integrated, (2) the marking variation
does not cause a hazardous or unsafe condition, (3) the marking variation is apparent to the operator, and
(4) normal operation is recovered after removal of the interfering signal.
FCC information to the user
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Center for Devices and Radiological
Health requirements
Under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) issued a performance standard in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for laser products. This
performance standard (21 CFR, Part 1040.10) was developed to protect public health and safety by
imposing requirements upon manufacturers of laser products to provide an indication of the presence of
laser radiation, to provide the user with certain means to control radiation, and to assure that all person-
nel are adequately warned of potential hazards through the use of product labels and instructions.
SYNRAD’s FH Series Marking Head is an OEM product intended for incorporation as a component of a
laser marking system and as such does not comply with 21 CFR, Subchapter J without additional safe-
guards. Additional safeguards required to meet the standard depend on the system in which the FH Series
Marking Head is to be incorporated. For instance, if the system is intended to be a Class 1 laser system,
the OEM integrator will have to provide guarding to prevent laser emission in excess of the Accessible
Emission Limits (AEL) for Class 1 devices. For incorporation in a Class IV laser system, the integrated
system must include a beam attenuator, a keyswitch, a remote interlock, and other safety features as
required under the standard.

FH Series Marking HeadFH Series Marking Head
FH Series Marking Head operator’s manual
Agency compliance
European Union requirements
The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC is the sole Directive
developed to address electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues in electronic equipment. In particular,
the Directive calls out documents that define the emission and immunity standards for specific product
categories. For the FH Series Marking Head, the standard EN55011 defines the radiated RF emissions
limit. The generic standard EN50082-1 defines immunity requirements published by the International
Electromechanical Commission (IEC). FH Series Marking Heads have demonstrated performance
characteristics that have met or exceeded the requirements of EMC directive 89/336/EEC.
Operational requirements of the FH Series Marking Head are 30 VDC @ 3 amps (max). In accordance
with Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC Article 1, the Low Voltage Directive would not apply to this
family of devices. However, due to the considerable risks and hazards associated with the installation and
operational use of this apparatus when incorporated with associated laser equipment, the manufacturer
has provided appropriate product warning labels and instructions to the user regarding laser safety. Laser
safety instructions and warnings are included in this manual.
The FH Series Marking Head is intended for incorporation as a component of a laser marking system.
When incorporated as a part of a laser marking system, and dependent upon the user application and
installation, additional warning labels and safety barriers may be required to protect the operator of the
system. The final system and installation should be evaluated to meet the requirements of EN60825-1
under Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
SYNRAD, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the compliance of the system into which the FH Series
Marking Head is integrated, other than to supply and/or recommend components and apparatus that are
CE marked for compliance with applicable European Directives. FH Series Marking Head systems are
intended for installation and use in laboratory or manufacturing facilities by trained personnel only.
In accordance with Machinery Directive, 89/392/EEC. Article 1, paragraph 4 and 5, the Machinery
Directive does not apply to this device. In consideration of the incorporation of the FH Series Marking
Head into devices that may fall under the definition of a “machine”, SYNRAD, Inc. considers the
application of the EMC Directive as sufficient evidence that the FH Series Marking Head product family
will not compromise the compliance of the “machine” into which it is incorporated.
