2.2.2 Interlocks
The equipment is equipped with a forced contact redundant interlock system that provides the User
with the required level of safety when operating the equipment. The two interlocks in this system are
placed on the Sample Access Panel and ensure that power to the laser is severed prior to any opening
being made in the equipment during operation (i.e.: opening the Sample Door). Having these interlocks
ensures that the User is never exposed to laser radiation above a Class I classification. As a result, this
panel shall not be modified in any fashion, and the User is strictly forbidden from attempting to alter,
interfere, modify, remove, circumvent, defeat or de-active these safety interlocks.
Figure 2-6 indicates the location of the Sample Access Panel safety interlocks.
