Safety - HALaser Systems HALdrive X20 User Manual

3 Safety

The hardware described within this document is designed to control a laser scanner system. Laser radiation
may effect a person's health or may otherwise cause damage. Prior to installation and operation compliance
with all relevant safety regulations including additional hardware-controlled safety measures has to be
secured. The client shall solely be responsible to strictly comply with all applicable and relevant safety
regulations regarding installation and operation of the system at any time.
Beside of that some laser equipment can be damaged in case it is controlled with wrong signals or signals
outside a given specification. Thus it is highly recommended to check the output generated by this hardware
using e.g. an oscilloscope to avoid problems caused by wrong configurations. This should be done prior to
putting a system into operation for the first time, whenever some parameters have been changed or whenever
any kind of software update was installed.
The hardware described here is shipped without any cover and without prefabricated equipment for electric
installation. It is intended to be integrated in machines or other equipment. It is not a device for use "as is", but a
component which is intended to be used as part of a larger device, e.g. for integration in a machine with own
housing or within an electrical cabinet. Prior to operation compliance with all relevant electric /
electromagnetic safety regulations including additional hardware-controlled safety measures has to be
secured. The client shall solely be responsible to strictly comply with all applicable and relevant regulations
regarding installation and operation of the system at any time.
The hardware described here is an electrostatic sensitive device. This means it can be damaged by common
static charges which build up on people, tools and other non-conductors or semiconductors. To avoid such a
damage, it has to be handled with care and including all relevant procedures (like proper grounding of people
handling the hardware, shielding/covering to not to let a person touch the hardware unwanted, proper
packaging in ESD-bags, ...). For more information please refer to related regulations and standards regarding
handling of ESD devices. The EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) does not apply to this hardware as it is not intended
for an end user (a person without knowledge of EMC) and as it is not otherwise made available on the market.
The Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) does not apply to this hardware as the voltage supply is below the
50V AC / 75V DC limit.
