Document Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions.
Convention
Purpose
LASER CAUTION notices highlight hazards to humans caused by the integrated Class
3B laser. Each laser caution is accompanied by an appropriate laser CAUTION symbol.
If the listed precautions are not followed, injury to people can occur.
CAUTION notices highlight hazards to humans, property, or the environment. Each
CAUTION notice is accompanied by an appropriate CAUTION symbol. If listed
precautions are not followed, injury to people or damage to property, equipment, or
the environment can occur.
Important notices highlight information that either is critical to prevent damage to
software, loss of data, and invalid test results, or is necessary for optimal
performance of the system. If listed procedures are not followed, data integrity may
be affected.
Note:
Notes highlight tips for performing procedures and provides information of general
interest.
Bold
Is used for:
Screens, dialogs, dialog items, menus, controls, keys, fields, and software
controls. For example:
Select (Scan).
Named hardware items. For example:
On the physical keypad, press the Back hard key to return to the default screen.
Italics
Are used for:
Emphasis. For example:
Do not move your instrument during scans.
Terms that the text defines or explains. For example:
This type of Raman shift is called an Anti-Stokes shift.
Titles of book and manuals. For example:
For more information, see the Quick Start Guide.
Progeny Analyzer Safety and Compliance Notices
Please read all safety and compliance notices before operating your instrument.

Preface 3
1006232_RevD
This instrument uses Class 3B lasers. Consequently, before setting up or operating this
instrument and its accessories:
Read the sections Laser Safety and Compliance, General Safety and Compliance, and Safe
Operation Notices.
Complete appropriate training about your organization’s procedures and policies for using this
instrument on both known and unknown samples.
Ensure that your Progeny Analyzer is setup correctly for analysis of the samples you are
testing.
Laser Safety and Compliance
Laser Safety and Compliance lists laser-specific safety and compliance notices for operating your
instrument.
This instrument is certified as a Class 3B laser product to the requirements of the U.S. Federal
Product Performance Standard for Laser Products contained in the regulations of 21 CFR Sub-
Chapter “J” except for deviations pursuant to Department of Health and Human Services
issued Laser Notices. The Progeny Analyzer complies with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 1(2007).
When scanning, each Progeny Analyzer uses a laser-emitting diode to produce a laser beam
with specific properties for analyzing samples.
Laser Beam Properties:
Properties
Progeny 1064
Power
30-490 mW (Progeny LT 300mW max)
Frequency
1064 nm
Lens focal length
11 mm
Focused spot diameter
25 microns
CAUTION: Exposure to levels of laser energy greater than the maximum permissible exposer
(MPE) can harm the eye. MPE for this instrument is 1.898 mW/cm2. The laser energy must
travel a minimum distance of 5.59 inches (14.2 cm) before its concentration is lower than the
MPE. This distance is defined as the hazard zone. With proper use, exposure to levels above
the MPE can be avoided. Avoid exposure to the laser beam.
