-
Please use the camera indoors (except for LSR S).
-
Please use the camera at elevations below 4000 meters.
-
Do not stare into the light beam when using the camera.
-
Please install the camera in a well-circulated, open place.
Check the Camera
-
Before using, please check the camera carefully for damage, signs of water entry, suspicious odor, smoke, loose or damaged bolts, etc., and make sure that the camera is in proper working conditions. If any of the above abnormalities occur, please disconnect the power immediately.
-
High temperature will age the power cable. Please check the power cable regularly for signs of aging. If the cable has aged, please contact Mech-Mind to acquire a replacement.
Usage of Adapter / DIN Rail Power Supply
-
Do not use the product if the power port, power adapter / DIN rail power supply, or power socket is wet.
-
Do not heat or put the adapter / DIN rail power supply and power cable in fire.
-
Please use a 24 V isolated adapter / DIN rail power supply with an output power of 36 W (NANO and PRO XS) or 90 W (other models).
-
Please use the specified voltage. Failure to do so may lead to fire, electric shock, malfunction, etc. The adapter / DIN rail power supply and power cable should be properly grounded. It is recommended to use the isolated adapter / DIN rail power supply provided by Mech-Mind.
-
Power plugs should be properly grounded. Do not place the adapter / DIN rail power supply in a place that is hard to disconnect the power.
-
Please install the DIN rail power supply inside a control cabinet.
-
Use copper conductors only.
Precautions for Using Laser Cameras
-
DO NOT look into the laser beam or the reflected laser beam directly. Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments. Doing so may lead to eye injuries. DO NOT direct the laser at other people.
-
The laser beam must be lower or higher than and never at eye level.
-
Be cautious of the path of the laser beam. If there is a possibility that personnel may be exposed to the specular or diffuse reflections, block the beam by installing a protective enclosure. Do not enter the areas that the laser / reflected laser output reaches. Do not place any reflective light object (mirror, glass, metal, etc.) in the path of the laser beam.
-
Do not enter the areas that the laser / reflected laser output reaches. Do not place any reflective light object (mirror, glass, metal, etc.) in the path of the laser beam.
-
After the product is powered on, wait at least 30 minutes before using the product. Otherwise, data quality may be unstable. While adjusting the parameters, do not turn off the power. Doing so may lead to loss of some or all parameter adjustments.
-
LASER ENERGY - EXPOSURE NEAR APERTURE MAY CAUSE BURNS.
-
NOTE: The risk of skin injury is only likely for highly divergent beams for exposure close to the aperture.
