Section 1
1 Laser Safety
1.1 General Information
The laser light sources used in LMI Sensors are semiconductor lasers emitting visible
light.
LMI Laser Sensors have a 2/ll, 3R/llla or 3B/lllb classi ication depending on model.
Class 2/ll and 3R/llla sensors are re erred to as “products” indicating that they ully
comply with the standards relating to laser products speci ied in IEC 60825-1 and U.S.
FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040 except or deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated July 26, 2001.
Class 3B/lllb sensors are sold only to quali ied OEM’s as “components” or incorporation
into their own equipment. The sensors do not incorporate sa ety items which the OEM is
required to provide in their own equipment (e.g. remote interlocks, key control). As such
these sensors do not ully comply with the standards relating to laser products speci ied
in IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040.
Caution!
Use o controls or adjustments or per ormance o procedures other than
those speci ied herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.2 Laser Classification
1.2.1 Laser Classes
Class 2/ll laser products:
Class 2/ll laser products would not cause
permanent damage to the eye under
reasonably oreseeable conditions o
operation, provided that any exposure can
be terminated by the blink re lex (assumed
to take 0.25 sec). Because classi ication
assumes the blink re lex, the wavelength o
light must be in the visible range (400 nm to
700 nm). The Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) or visible radiation or 0.25
second is 25 Watt per square meter, which
is equivalent to 1 mW entering an aperture
o 7 mm diameter (the assumed size o the
pupil).
Class 3R/llla laser products:
Class 3R/llla laser products emit radiation
where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially
hazardous, but the risk is lower than or
3B/lllb lasers. Fewer manu acturing
requirements and control measures or
users apply than or 3B/lllb lasers.
Class 3B/lllb laser components:
Class 3B/lllb components are unsa e or eye
exposure. Usually only ocular protection
would be required. Di use re lections are
sa e i viewed or less than 10 seconds.
Labels reprinted here are
examples relevant to the laser
classes. For detailed
speci ications observe the label
on your laser sensor

LMI Class 3B/lllb laser components do not incorporate the sa ety items indicated by
asterisks ** in the table above. These items must be added and completed by the OEM
in the system design.
1.2.3 Class 3B/lllb OEM Responsibilities
LMI Technologies has iled reports with the FDA to assist the OEM in achieving
certi ication o their laser products. The OEM can re erence these reports by an
accession number that will be provided upon request.

9
Detailed descriptions o the sa ety items that must be added to the OEM design are
listed below:
Remote Interlock
A remote interlock connection must be present in Class IIIB laser systems. This permits
remote switches to be attached in serial with the keylock switch on the controls. The
deactivation o any remote switches must prevent power rom being supplied to any
lasers.
Key Control
A key operated master control to the lasers that prevents any power rom being supplied
to the lasers while in the OFF position. The key can be removable in the OFF position
but the switch must not allow the key to be removed rom the lock while in the ON
position.
Power-On Delays
A delay circuit is required that illuminates warning indicators or a short period o time
prior to supplying power to the lasers.
Beam Attenuators
A permanently attached method o preventing human access to the laser radiation other
than switches, power connectors or key control must be employed. On some LMI laser
sensors, the beam attenuator is supplied with the sensor as an integrated mechanical
shutter.
Emission Indicator
It is required that the controls that operate the sensors incorporate a visible or audible
indicator when power is applied and the lasers are operating. I distance (>2 m between
sensor and controls) or mounting o sensors intervenes with observation o these
indicators, a second power-on indicator should be mounted at some readily observable
position. When mounting the warning indicators, it is important not to mount them in a
location that would require human exposure to the laser emissions.
Warning Signs
Laser warning signs must be located in the vicinity o the sensor such that they will be
readily observed. Examples o laser warning signs are:

1.3 Requirements for Laser Systems Sold or Used In the USA
The OEM’s laser system which incorporates laser components or laser products
manu actured by LMI Technologies requires certi ication by the FDA.
It is the responsibility o the OEM to achieve and maintain this certi ication.
OEM’s are advised to obtain the in ormation booklet Regulations for the Administration
and Enforcement of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968: HHS
Publication FDA 88-8035.
This publication, containing the ull details o laser sa ety requirements, can be obtained
directly rom the FDA, or downloaded rom their website at http://www. da.gov/cdrh.
