Laser Safety
The Advanced Compact Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scanner complies with safety
standard IEC 60825 for a Class I laser product. It also complies with CDRH as applicable to
a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term staring into direct laser light.
Radiant Energy: The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scanner uses two low-power
visible laser diodes operating at 650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than
3.9µW radiated power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10
seconds.
Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light
with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may
be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe
operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary
laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source
immediately.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not remove
the protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard.
Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not
include normal eye glasses worn by the user.
For CE-Countries
This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked
power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.

3.3 Cable Installation
The scanner is to be connected to a host (e.g. POS). The use of external power is
determined by your host but it is usually recommended. The scanner also supports
an auxiliary scanner and EAS application. The figure below gives you an overview
of the cable installation.
