1.3 General notes of caution
Caution / Notes
The devices may only be operated when fully assembled.
In hazardous areas, the devices must not be wiped or cleaned with a dry
cloth.
The device must be switched off immediately if it is likely that it can no
longer be operated safely as a result of damaging impact or general
peculiarities (such as ingress of water or other fluids, temperatures outside
of the specified range, etc.).
General statutory requirements or health and safety rules and accident
prevention guidelines and environmental laws must be adhered to (e.g. the
German Occupational Health and Safety regulation).
Users must not open the device.
Users must not make any changes to the device. Components may not be
exchanged or replaced. If non-specified components are used, explosion
protection is no longer guaranteed.
Ensure safe handling with firm footing and sufficient room for movement.
If the enclosure is in any way damaged the device must be removed from
the hazardous area immediately.
In accordance with IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-17, operators of electrical
installation in hazardous areas are obliged to have them serviced by
qualified electricians.
Do not insert any sharp objects into the enclosure or any other openings of
the handheld barcode scanner. Any openings at the device may not be
covered or blocked.
The device and any accessories must be properly disposed of, i.e. as
legally specified, for example by a certified company.
Notes on installation Electrical plants are subject to certain regulations concerning installation
and operation (e.g. RL 99/92/EG, RL 94/9EG, or the national rules such as
IEC 60 079-14 and VDE 0100).
In the hazardous area it is the operator's responsibility to carry out any
repair and maintenance in compliance with applicable rules.

Caution
on laser devices
Devices fitted with laser fall under standards US 21 CFR 1040.10 and EN
60825-1. The laser's classification is stated on a plate affixed to the device.
Class 1 lasers are deemed inherently safe during normal use, but users must
not look directly into the light source. The following declaration is required by
American and international laws:
Usage of control elements, adaptations or the use of procedures that differ from
these instructions may result in a dangerous exposure to laser beams.
Class 2 lasers use a visible low-voltage LED. As with any source of bright light,
such as the sun, the user should avoid looking directly into the light. Brief
exposure to a class 2 laser is deemed not dangerous.
Maintenance Provided the device is operated and assembled according to instructions and
the ambient requirements are being met continuous maintenance is not
necessary.
Servicing Operators of electric equipment in hazardous areas are obliged to have them
serviced by qualified electricians (IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-17).
Repairs Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or by persons trained and
commissioned for this purpose by the manufacturer.
The device is closed ex-factory. It may only be opened in the factory by specifically trained personnel.
Software installation For instructions on how to install the software at the PC please refer to the
manual issued by SICK.
Operation Before operating the device you must ensure that all necessary components are
available.
