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 classification depending on model.
Class 2/ll and 3R/llla sensors are referred to as “products” indicating that they fully
comply with the standards relating to laser products specified in IEC 60825-1 and U.S.
FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated July 26, 2001.
Class 3B/lllb sensors are sold only to qualified OEM’s as “components” for incorporation
into their own equipment. The sensors do not incorporate safety items which the OEM is
required to provide in their own equipment (e.g. remote interlocks, key control). As such
these sensors do not fully comply with the standards relating to laser products specified
in IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040.
Caution! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

laser products –Part 1: Equipment classification, requirements and user’s guide
2. Technical Report TR 60825-10, safety of laser products –Part 10. Application
guidelines and explanatory notes to IEC 60825-1

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 foreseeable conditions of
operation, provided that any exposure can
be terminated by the blink reflex (assumed
to take 0.25 sec). Because classification
assumes the blink reflex, the wavelength of
light must be in the visible range (400 nm to
700 nm). The Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) for visible radiation for 0.25
second is 25 Watt per square meter, which
is equivalent to 1 mW entering an aperture
of 7 mm diameter (the assumed size of 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 for
3B/lllb lasers. Fewer manufacturing
requirements and control measures for
users apply than for 3B/lllb lasers.
Class 3B/lllb laser components:
Class 3B/lllb components are unsafe for eye
exposure. Usually only ocular protection
would be required. Diffuse reflections are
safe if viewed for less than 10 seconds.
Labels reprinted here are
examples relevant to the laser
classes. For detailed
specifications observe the label
on your laser sensor

LMI Class 3B/lllb laser components do not incorporate the safety 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 filed reports with the FDA to assist the OEM in achieving
certification of their laser products. The OEM can reference these reports by an
accession number that will be provided upon request.

9
Detailed descriptions of the safety 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 of any remote switches must prevent power from being supplied to any
lasers.
Key Control
A key operated master control to the lasers that prevents any power from 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 from the lock while in the ON
position.
Power-On Delays
A delay circuit is required that illuminates warning indicators for a short period of time
prior to supplying power to the lasers.
Beam Attenuators
A permanently attached method of 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. If distance (>2 m between
sensor and controls) or mounting of sensors intervenes with observation of 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 of the sensor such that they will be
readily observed. Examples of 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
manufactured by LMI Technologies requires certification by the FDA.
It is the responsibility of the OEM to achieve and maintain this certification.
OEM’s are advised to obtain the information 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 full details of laser safety requirements, can be obtained
directly from the FDA, or downloaded from their website at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh.
