Warnings, laser safety, and general care

You should be aware of the location of labels, the meaning of warnings and laser safety considerations, as well as important handling precautions and cleaning instructions. The laser class labels with additional information are located on the back of the unit and the laser aperture label is located on the front of the unit, pointing to the aperture. The laser projector aperture is located on the right side of the front panel of the device (Figure 5). Do not look directly into the laser projector while the device is in use. Laser class and laser parameters used in our devices are discussed in the Technical Reference chapter.

Laser device

This device is a laser product. Do not deliberately look into the laser beam. This may cause injury to the retina. The use of protective eyewear is normally not necessary.

To avoid unauthorized contact with the sensor or unintentional viewing of the laser beam, it is recommended to locate the device in a restricted area and take measures to restrict laser light exposure to the surroundings. Although diffuse reflections are not harmful, users should remove mirrors, polished objects, and similar items from the vicinity of the sensor to avoid specular reflections. All components of the device, including those sourced from 3rd party suppliers, conform fully with all applicable European directives and regulations

The device uses the following warning labels.

Handling precautions

When performing general maintenance on Zebra 3S, ensure that Zebra 3S is powered down before beginning. When cleaning, the air must be free of oil, moisture, and other contaminants that could remain on the cleaned surface. For information on how to properly clean your Zebra 3S, see the cleaning instructions section below.

Cleaning instructions

To preserve scanning performance and quality, check and maintain the 3D sensor's outer optical parts regularly. The glasses covering the camera and projection units should not be touched by bare hands to avoid staining the glass; oil from your fingers could interfere with light passing through. If the glass is touched or lightly stained by any other mechanism, wipe the glass with lint-free wipes intended for optical components.

In cases where the device is used in an environment with lots of dust, especially when the dust contains sharp or hard particles that could potentially damage the glass, clean the glasses with a specialized cleaning solution for optical components (for example, First Contact™ Cleaning Solution).

To clean the glass, perform the following steps:

Coat the glass with the solution using the applicator. Make sure not to spread it to the edges. The solution immediately dries and creates a film over the glass.

Remove the film from the glass using peel tabs with wooden or plastic tips.

The film removes any dirt or particles from the glass.
