Laser Safety
Fuses
The Spitfire SDG II controller uses one of the following fuses, as appropriate for the local line voltage:
120 Vac
220 Vac
F1AH 250 V, Slow Blow
F0.5AH 250 V, Slow Blow
Maximum Emission Levels
The following is the maximum emission level possible for the Spitfire
amplifier. Use this information for selecting appropriate laser safety eyewear and implementing appropriate safety procedures. This value does not
imply actual system power or specifications.
Emission Wavelength
Maximum Power
690 to 1080 nm
10 W
CDRH Compliance
This laser product complies with Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, subchapter J, parts 1040.10 and 1040.11, as
applicable. To maintain compliance with these regulations, once a year, or
whenever the product has been subjected to adverse environmental conditions (e.g., fire, flood, mechanical shock, spilled solvent, etc.), check to see
that all features of the product identified on the CDRH Radiation Control
Drawing (found later in this chapter) function properly. Also, make sure
that all warning labels remain firmly attached.
CDRH Requirements for Operating the Spitfire
Using the Optional PC Control
The Spitfire system complies with all CDRH safety standards when operated using the SDG II controller. However when the laser is operated from
a computer using the command language described in Appendix A, “RS232 Interface,” the following must be provided in order to satisfy CDRH
regulation requirements:
• An emission indicator—that indicates laser energy is present or can
be accessed. It can be a “power-on” lamp, a computer display that
flashes a statement to this effect, or an indicator on the control equipment for this purpose. It need not be marked as an emission indicator
so long as its function is obvious. Its presence is required on any control panel that affects laser output, including a computer display
panel.
