R : Required
N/A : Not applicable
S : Same as for other products of that Class. Also see footnotes.
NP : Not permitted
D : Depends on level of interior radiation.
*1
: Class is based on the maximum level of laser exposure during operation.
*2
: Required wherever and whenever human access to laser radiation above Class I limits is not
needed for products to perform its functions.
*3
: Required for protective housings opened during operation or maintenance, if human access
thus gained is not always necessary when housing is opened.
*4
: The requirements for interlock differ depending on the class of inner radiation.
*5
: The contents of label differ depending on the level and wavelength of laser radiation inside
the protective housing.
*6
: Warning statement label.
*7
: CAUTION logotype.
*8
: The method to measure the level of laser radiation to human body is required.

<Measurement of rotating objects>
• When measuring rotating objects,
mount the product as follows.
Measurement can be performed
with minimized effect on the ob-
ject caused by up / down deflec-
tion, position deviation and etc.
<When there is a step>
• When there is a step in the mov-
ing object, mount the product as
follows. Measurement can be
performed with minimized effect
from the edges of the steps.
● Measuring of narrow locations and recesses
• When measuring in narrow loca-
tions or inside holes, mount the
product so that optical path from
the light emitting part to light-
receiving part is not interrupted.
