Optical Devices

Laser safety

Zebra AltiZ incorporates a laser that is shaped into a line pattern and has the potential to cause eye injury if it is mishandled. As such, the safety precautions outlined in this section are to be followed. The laser used in Zebra AltiZ is either Class 2M or 3R, depending on the model. Power to the laser is indicated visually by an LED on the 3D sensor. Zebra AltiZ is available in up to 4 different models; these models and their laser characteristics are outlined in the table below:

  Zebra AltiZ model
AZ1D4SR AZ1D4SB
Laser class 2M
Beam divergence 45° (0.79 rad)

(1.05 rad)
 | Full angle along the line length
 | Full angle along line width| 6.4 mrad| 4.4 mrad| 3.7 mrad| 3.1 mrad
Wavelength| 645 nm – 665 nm| 400 nm – 410 nm| 645 nm – 665 nm| 645 nm – 665 nm
Pulse duration| 50 µsec – 1 sec| 50 µsec – 1 sec| 50 µsec – 1 sec| 50 µsec – 1 sec
Frequency range| 1-3800 Hz| 1-3800 Hz| 1-3800 Hz| 1-3800 Hz

The housing of Zebra AltiZ must only be opened by authorized persons. For repair and service, Zebra AltiZ should always be returned to Zebra.

Caution

  • Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
  • When operating Zebra AltiZ, the relevant regulations according to EN60825-1 (IEC 60825, Part 1 of 05/2008), FDA 86-8260 and all applicable accident prevention must be followed.

Laser Class 2M

Certain models of the Zebra AltiZ 3D sensor have a field of view (FoV) ranging from 55 mm to 75 mm and are classified as Laser Class 2M. Class 2M lasers emit a visible radiation in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm and are considered safe for momentary exposure, assuming normal eye-closure reflex, but can be hazardous if deliberately stared into.

Accordingly, the following applies:

  • A direct glimpse into the beam can be dangerous if the eye-closure reflex is deliberately suppressed. A user should not stare directly into the beam and should close their eyes immediately when the eyes are directly exposed to the laser.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure to the reflection of the laser beam when it is reflected off a mirrored surface.
  • Dazzle, flash-blindness, and after images might be caused by a beam from a Class 2M laser product, particularly under low ambient light conditions.
  • Direct viewing into the beam with telescopic optical aids (for example, binoculars or telescopes) might pose an eye hazard; therefore, the laser should not be directed into an area where such instruments are likely to be used.
  • Class 2M laser equipment can be used without additional protective measures. If you are working in an environment where the potential for direct exposure to laser radiation is likely, we recommend using eye protection with an optical density of 2.0 or higher.

The following information labels are attached to the Zebra AltiZ housing and are found on the same side as the Y-Z reference mark:

Laser Class 3R

Certain models of Zebra AltiZ 3D sensor have a FoV ranging from 85 mm to 310 mm and are classified as Laser Class 3R. Class 3R lasers emit radiation that can exceed the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) under direct in trabeam viewing. Though the risk of injury is relatively low, direct in trabeam viewing is restricted. Accordingly, the following applies:

  • Avoid direct eye exposure. Do not directly look into the laser beam, or direct it in areas where people are likely to directly view the beam.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure to the reflection of the laser beam when it is reflected off a mirrored surface.
  • Dazzle, flash-blindness, and after images might be caused by a beam from a Class 3R laser product, particularly under low ambient light conditions.
  • Direct viewing into the beam with telescopic optical aids (for example, binoculars or telescopes) poses an eye hazard, and thus the laser should not be directed into an area where such instruments are likely to be used.
  • Class 3R laser equipment can be used without additional protective measures as long as direct viewing, or viewing the beam through a mirror, is restricted. If you are working in an environment where the potential for direct exposure to laser radiation is likely, we recommend using eye protection with an optical density of 2.0 or higher.
