Chapter 1 On Safety

LASER SAFETY.

The SDP-Eco1630 III 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. This means that the recorder does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the SDP-Eco1630 III is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam can not escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CDRH REGULATIONS.

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The level shown in the figure indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

For European model

The SDP-Eco1630 III is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT in accordance with IEC Pub 1.1 825 1984.

Ordinary operation will not release laser radiation into the work environment. Do not remove any of the safety covers for this product or release any of its interlock switches. Laser radiation may cause injuries to your body (e.g. weakened eyesight, skin cancer).
