8 Safety Directions

WARNING
Distraction/loss of attention
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures, there is a dan-
ger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environ-
mental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or traffic.
Precautions:
▶The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.
WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site.
This can lead to dangerous situations, for example in traffic, on building sites
and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
▶Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured.
▶Adhere to the regulations governing safety, accident prevention and road
traffic.
CAUTION
Pointing product toward the sun
Be careful when pointing the product toward the sun, because the telescope
functions as a magnifying glass and can injure your eyes and/or cause damage
inside the product.
Precautions:
▶Do not point the product directly at the sun.
CAUTION

If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the
product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the
product may be damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
▶When setting up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly
adapted, fitted, secured, and locked in position.
▶Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
Safety Directions 9

WARNING
Inappropriate mechanical influences to batteries
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappro-
priate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
▶Before shipping the product or disposing it, discharge the batteries by the
product until they are flat.
▶When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the prod-
uct must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and
regulations are observed.
▶Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient tempera-
tures or immersion into fluids

1.6 Laser Classification
1.6.1 General
The following chapters provide instructions and training information about laser
safety according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and technical
report IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02). The information enables the person
responsible for the product and the person who actually uses the equipment,
to anticipate and avoid operational hazards.
☞According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as laser
class 1, class 2 and class 3R do not require:
•laser safety officer involvement,
•protective clothes and eyewear,
•special warning signs in the laser working area
if used and operated as defined in this User Manual due to the low
eye hazard level.
General
Safety Directions 11

☞National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent
instructions for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2014-05)
and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02).
1.6.2 Distancer, Measurements with Reflectors
The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which
emerges from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 1 in
accordance with:
•IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
These products are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
and are not harmful to the eyes provided that the products are used and main-
tained in accordance with this User Manual.

1.6.3 Distancer, Measurements without Reflectors
The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which
emerges from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 3R in
accordance with:
•IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particular
for deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness
and after-images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of
injury for laser class 3R products is limited because of:
General
General
12 Safety Directions

a)unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.)
beam alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
b)inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radi-
ation (MPE)
c)natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of visi-
ble radiation.

CAUTION
Class 3R laser products
From a safety perspective, class 3R laser products should be treated as poten-
tially hazardous.
Precautions:
▶Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.
▶Do not direct the beam at other people.
CAUTION
Reflected beams aimed at reflecting surfaces
Potential hazards are not only related to direct beams but also to reflected
beams aimed at reflecting surfaces such as prisms, windows, mirrors, metallic
surfaces, etc.
Precautions:
▶Do not aim at areas that are essentially reflective, such as a mirror, or
which could emit unwanted reflections.
▶Do not look through or beside the optical sight at prisms or reflecting
objects when the laser is switched on, in laser pointer or distance meas-
urement mode. Aiming at prisms is only permitted when looking through
the telescope.
