Specific Dangers

WARNING


Backlight

The part feeder has an integrated backlight that uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). These LEDs emit visible or non-visible radiation depending on the color of the backlight. LED illumination can create discomfort and also damage the cornea, retina and lens.

Do not look at the light directly without wearing protective glasses. It is the responsibility of customers to document their own application and instruct employees on procedures to limit exposure to LED radiation. This Backlight is not constructed to be used permanently. Please switch off the illumination after image acquisition. (Autoswitch OFF after a 30 second timeout).

Specific warnings

WARNING


The LEDs used are risk group 2 according to the norm EN 62471. It is the responsibility of customers to document their own application and instruct employees on procedures to limit exposure to LED radiation.

Consider the following preventative measure:

  1. If feasible in your work environment, install a fixed or movable high pass filter between the light source and employees. Use a high pass filter appropriate for the color of your LEDs. For more information, refer to the following.

    Backlight (series: IF-80)

  2. When the implementation of the foregoing is not possible, provide workers with goggles or face shield suitable for blocking radiation beyond 700nm.

  3. Prohibit or limit as possible direct access to the source. (exposure in the axis of radiation)

  4. Establish a security perimeter to prevent operators from coming closer to the light source than the approach limit distance recommended by the manufacturer.

  5. In all cases, check to make sure the measures you take are properly easing exposure (filters or goggles must be able to block the wavelengths to which operators are exposed).

CAUTION


High Temperatures

The areas indicated by arrows in the figure below reach a temperature of 40°C during normal use. This temperature can nevertheless rise to 55°C depending on the conditions of use.

It is the responsibility of customers to document their own application and employ measures to prevent employees from touching heated surfaces.
