Beam Hazards
Eye and skin exposure to direct or reflected laser light is hazardous and may be extremely harmful. Always wear eye
protection appropriate to the beam wavelength and intensity. Lasers may pose a risk of igniting flammable materials
and in event of ignition gasses and fumes may be generated. All equipment used in close proximity to the laser beam
should be suitably fire resistant and the facility should be properly ventilated. It is advised to perform a risk assessment
for the facility and equipment prior to using the laser. In the case of integration into a larger system, laser safety
compliance must be evaluated in the end product.
WARNING Remove all watches, rings, and other reflective jewelry before working with lasers.
Always wear the appropriate eye protection from the wavelengths integrated into the system.
Verify the accessible emission wavelength and power before operating. Never look directly into
a laser beam.
The device must be handled by skilled personnel experienced with lasers, in a laboratory environment and with access
to adequate laser safety equipment. The laser head clearly displays a yellow warning label that shows the location of
the laser beam aperture. This label must be visible unless the laser beam is totally enclosed. If the laser does not
function, do not attempt to open any part of the device, or the warranty will be voided. Call or e-mail your local Cobolt
representative for consultancy and to request an RMA number (see back cover for contact information).
Laser radiation may ignite flammable materials and combustible gasses in the beam path and, in event of ignition,
fumes may be generated. All equipment used in close proximity to the laser beam should be suitably fire resistant and
the facility should be properly ventilated.

Safety features
The laser is equipped with all required safety features as described in the laser safety standard 60825-1. Disabling any
safety features negate the CE/CDRH compliance of this product. If any part of the delivered equipment is replaced
with a part not supplied by Cobolt or if the equipment is not properly grounded system may not conform to CE / CDRH
compliance standards listed in section 14 : Compliance (CDRH models only). Disabling any of the safety features
nullifies the CE marking and violates the laser safety standard.
Remote Interlock Connector
The remote interlock connector is a connector which permits the connection of external controls placed apart from
other components of the laser product. When the terminals of the connector are open-circuited, emission is
interrupted, and no radiation will be accessible. The remote interlock connector permits easy addition of an external
interlock in laser installation. See section Remote Interlock Connector for a detailed description of the remote
interlock circuit and operation.
Manual Shutter (Beam Stop)
The laser head is equipped with a manual shutter, which functions as the beam stop, capable of preventing human
access to laser radiation. The aperture location and the open and close positions of the shutter are indicated on the
top surface of the laser head.
Key Control
The CDRH compliant model comes with a key-switch on the controller or the key control box which must be connected
for the laser to operate. When the key is in the OFF position, the laser is prevented from emitting. The key must be
actively turned to the ON position each time the laser is powered on. When the key is removed from the system laser
radiation is not accessible.
Laser Radiation Emission Warning
The controller and the key control box incorporate information LEDs which display whether power is connected, the
laser is on, or a fault has occurred. The “ON” LED is illuminated whenever the device is emitting or could emit light.
See section 3.4 for details on the controller. The emission warning indicators are also visible in the Cobolt Monitor™
software, see section 9 for details on the control software.
Equipment Safety
Always install all power supplies used in the laser system to properly grounded power outlets. The laser head and
controller must be mounted on a common ground plane, such as an optical table. Cobolt lasers contain a laser diode
which is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
