Notes on Technical Safety - 1
■ Laser Safety
■
Standards and Regulations
The Ultre 3000/4000 Laser Imagesetter is certified as a Class 1
laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the
Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. As such, this
unit complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1, Sub-chapter J.
This means that this laser imagesetter does not emit hazardous
laser radiation. Since radiation emmitted inside the laser
imagesetter is completely confined within protective housings and
external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine
during any phase of user operation or maintenance.
■
Service
None of the parts within the protective housing require servicing
by the user. Any servicing only must be done by factory-trained
service technicians authorized by Linotype-Hell.
3
CAUTION: Do not remove the cover or housing of the imagesetter.
Otherwise there is a risk that you will be exposed to invisible laser
radiation or injured by an electrical shock.
