1 Safety
1.1 Explanation of symbols
This symbol is used for all points in these operating instructions to which special
attention is to be paid so that all directives, regulations, instructions and the correct
work sequence are observed, and to prevent minor or serious damage to the laser
system or plant.
1.1.1 General safety instructions
The operating instructions and the safety instructions are to be read and observed
prior to installation and commissioning! The operating instructions must be read,
understood and followed by the operators responsible for the unit. Along with the
in structions in these operating instructions, also observe the generally applicable
safety and accident prevention regulations! All work on installation and commissioning
as well as all maintenance is to be performed by appropriately qualied personnel.
National accident prevention regulations, EN and IEC standards are to be observed.
Appropriately qualied personnel in the context of these basic safety instructions are
persons who are familiar with the tting, installation, placing in operation and operation
of the product and have qualications appropriate to their task.
1.1.2 Laser safety
The unit is a class 3B laser device. Both the direct beam and its reections from
di ffuse reective surfaces are dangerous.The unit emits strong power beams in the
visible spectral range (approx. 400 nm to 700 nm, for more detailed information see
the data sheet, page 14). The radiation can cause irreversible damage to the eyes if the
necessary protective measures are not taken.
1.1.3 Laser area
The laser area is the area in which the values for the maximum permissible irradiation
can be exceeded. Here the possibility of unintentional deection of the laser beam is
also to be taken into account. If operational equipment other than that given in this
manual or another procedure is used, dangerous exposure to the radiation may result.
Laser system screened inside a protective cover
By using suitable screening it can be ensured that people are not exposed to the laser
radiation. In this way the laser class is reduced and it is possible to work with the
closed arrangement without additional limitations or further measures.

5
However, in this case the following requirements apply to the protective cover:
· The protective cover must be appropriate to adequately shield the laser
radiation. It is therefore necessary to use laser safety glass or laser safety
lm for viewing windows.
· The cover itself as well as any doors or aps in the cover must be protected
using the interlock circuit that automatically shuts down and inhibits the laser
immediately on intentional or unintentional opening.
If the interlock circuit is disabled for service or maintenance work on the system with
the cover open, the laser area is enlarged again and the regulations in the next section
«Presence of persons in the laser area» apply.
Presence of persons in the laser area
In the laser area, people are subject to hazards, in particular ocular. Therefore the
follow ing measures must be taken and the following safety regulations observed:
· The room must have an emergency exit.
· The room must be optically screened from the environment (e.g. laser safety
lm on the windows).
· The laser area is to be kept as small as possible, to be bounded by suitable
screening and protected against access by unauthorized persons. The num-
ber of persons in the laser area should be reduced to the minimum.
· There must be a warning device on all entrances to the room that indicates
the laser radiation hazard.
· If the entry doors are not protected using the interlock circuits, opening the
doors easily from the outside must be impossible to prevent thoughtless
entry.
· All persons who are in the laser area during operation must be informed
about the dangers of the laser radiation.
· Laser safety glasses/goggles must be worn in the laser area. The operating
organisation must ensure that suitable safety glasses/goggles are available.
The glasses/goggles are selected in accordance with DIN EN 207. Please see
the data sheet on the unit for the actual wavelength of your laser. Herein-
after, the term safety glasses is always used to refer to suitable laser safety
glasses/goggles. Caution: in some circumstances your laser safety glasses/
goggles may not protect you from a powerful red pilot beam.
· There must not be any potentially explosive substances in the laser area.
Easily inammable substances may catch re.
· Glossy reective equipment must be either removed from the laser area or
covered. Windows and reecting walls are also to be covered with material
with low inammability.

1.2 Sécurité
1.2.1 Explication des symboles
Dans ce mode d’emploi, ce symbole indique qu’une attention particulière est requise,
an d’observer l’ensemble des directives, réglementations et consignes, ainsi que la
séquence de travail correcte pour éviter tous dommages mineurs ou importants au
système laser ou à l’installation.
1.2.2 Consignes de sécurité générales
Le mode d’emploi et les consignes de sécurité doivent être lus et observés rigou-
reusement avant l’installation et la mise en service. Les opérateurs responsables de
l’unité doivent lire, comprendre et suivre le mode d’emploi. Outre les consignes de
ce mode d’emploi, il convient également d’observer les réglementations relatives à la
sécurité et à la prévention des accidents applicables en général. L’installation, la mise
en service et l’entretien doivent être réalisés par un personnel qualié de manière
appropriée. Les réglementations nationales concernant la prévention des accidents
et les normes EN et CEI doivent être observées. Dans le cadre de ces consignes de
sécurité élémentaires, le personnel dûment qualié désigne des personnes qui ont
des connaissances en montage, installation, mise en service et fonctionnement du
produit et qui ont les qualications appropriées.
1.2.3 Sécurité du laser
L’unité est un dispositif laser de classe 3B. Le faisceau direct et les réexions des
surfaces rééchissantes diffuses sont dangereux. L’unité émet des faisceaux de
forte puissance dans le domaine spectral invisible, visible et infrarouge (environ
400 nm - 700 nm, voir che technique pour en savoir plus, page 14). Le rayonnement
peut endommager les yeux de manière irréversible, si les mesures de protection
nécessaires ne sont pas correctement appliquées.
1.2.4 Zone laser
La zone laser est la zone dans laquelle les valeurs du rayonnement maximum autorisé
peuvent être dépassées. La possibilité d’une déviation accidentelle du faisceau laser
doit également être prise en compte.
Si un autre équipement que celui indiqué dans ce manuel ou une autre procédure est
utilisé, une exposition dangereuse au rayonnement peut avoir lieu.

7
Système laser protégé dans une enceinte
Une protection adaptée garantit que les personnes ne sont pas exposées au rayon-
nement laser. Ainsi, la classe du laser est baissée et il est possible de travailler avec la
conguration fermée, sans limitations ou mesures supplémentaires.
Toutefois, dans ce cas, les exigences suivantes s’appliquent à l’enceinte de protection:
· L’enceinte de protection doit être adaptée de sorte à enfermer correctement
le rayonnement laser. Il est donc nécessaire d’utiliser un verre ou un lm de
sécurité laser pour les fenêtres.
· L’enceinte, ainsi que les portes ou volets doivent être équipés d’un circuit
de verrouillage, qui éteint automatiquement le laser, en cas d’ouverture
volontaire ou non.
Si le circuit de verrouillage est désactivé pour l’entretien ou la maintenance du systè-
me avec l’enceinte ouverte, la zone laser est élargie et les instructions de la section
suivante «Présence de personnes dans la zone laser» s’appliquent.
Présence de personnes dans la zone laser
Toute personne se trouvant dans la zone laser s’expose à des risques, notamment
oculaires. Il convient donc de prendre les mesures nécessaires suivantes et d’ob-
server les dispositions de sécurité qui suivent:
· La pièce doit avoir une issue de secours.
· La pièce doit être protégée (p. ex. lm de sécurité laser sur les fenêtres).
· La zone laser doit être réduite au minimum, délimitée par une protection
adaptée et protégée contre tout accès non autorisé. Le nombre de person-
nes présentes dans la zone laser doit être réduit au minimum.
· Un dispositif d’avertissement doit être installé au niveau de toutes les ent-
rées de la pièce, pour signaler clairement les risques du rayonnement laser.
· Si les portes d’accès ne sont pas protégées au moyen de circuits de verrou-
illage, leur ouverture depuis l’extérieur doit être impossible, an d’empêcher
toute entrée inconsidérée.
· Toute personne se trouvant dans la zone laser, pendant le fonctionnement de
l’unité doit être informée des dangers du rayonnement laser.
· Le port de lunettes de protection laser est obligatoire pour toutes les per-
sonnes dans la zone laser. L’organisation opérationnelle doit veiller à mettre
à disposition des lunettes de protection adaptées. Les lunettes sont choisies
conformément à la norme DIN EN 207. Reportez-vous à la che technique
de l’unité pour connaître la longueur d’onde réelle de votre laser. Les termes
«lunettes de protection» utilisés ci-après font toujours référence aux lunettes
de protection laser adaptées. Attention : dans certains cas, vos lunettes de
protection laser peuvent ne pas vous protéger correctement contre un puis-
sant faisceau pilote rouge.
· Il ne doit pas y avoir de substances potentiellement explosives dans la zone
laser. Les substances facilement inammables peuvent facilement prendre feu.

8
· Les équipements brillants et rééchissants doivent être enlevés de la
zone laser ou recouverts de manière appropriée. Les fenêtres et les murs
rééchissants doivent également être recouverts d’un matériau de faible
inammabilité.

2.2 Installation and commissioning
Note that the laser module with electronic driver is not a product for direct use.
Security elements, such as interlock, and emergency switch are not included in
the laser module. If the laser module is used as part of system or product, then the
responsibility for safety lies with the product development team of the product.
When operating the laser module, the laser safety regulations must be observed.
2.2.1 Unpacking and checking for visible damage
Check the completeness of the delivery and check that all the items supplied are in
good condition. In case of errors please contact FISBA AG (readybeam@sba.com).
If possible, keep the packaging in which the laser system was supplied. It will then
be possible to pack the unit in its original packaging and transport it safely in case of
repair.
2.2.2 Installation
The laser module can be mounted with screws on a at bottom plate. The bottom
plate should be cooled and the heat transfer should be at least 7W to hold the module
on a stable operating temperature. The laser module READYBeam is TEC-controlled.
Incorrect cooling effects the laser power and can destroy the laser diodes. During
assembly of the laser module on a plane cooling surface, attention is required so that
no tension can apply to the casing. Tension inuences the beam quality very strongly.
The connection must be handled carefully.
