Service
Your instrument was carefully inspected electrically and mechanically prior to shipment. It should be free of surface mars and scratches, and it
should be in perfect working order upon receipt. If any indication of damage is found, file a claim with the carrier immediately, prior to using the
instrument. If no damage is apparent, proceed by using this manual to install and setup this instrument.
Save the shipping carton and packing material for future storing or shipment of the instrument. If, at some future time, the instrument must be
returned to the factory for service, include a full description of the instrument failure and the mode of operation the instrument was in at the time
of failure. Also include a contact person to discuss the instrument failure.
When returning the instrument to Beta LaserMike, first contact your local Beta LaserMike Service Department for a Return Material Authorization
(RMA). The RMA number is needed for proper handling of returned equipment. Ship the instrument in the original carton, or, if the original carton
is unavailable, ship in a carton providing sufficient protection. Send the instrument to the Asia, Europe, or USA office (addresses listed on the
outside cover of this manual), whichever is closest to you or to the office indicated by your sales engineer. Place the RMA number on the outside
of the carton, and include a purchase order number and any other information specific to your instrument. Field warranty service is available, if
the customer pays travel expenses by advance purchase order. All service operations should be performed by skilled electronics technicians,
who have been trained by Beta LaserMike.

European Commission Requirements
European Commission Requirements
This equipment is intended for use in a heavy industrial environment. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other equipment. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to other equipment the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Re-orientate or relocate the equipment.
- Increase the separation between the pieces of equipment.
- Connect the pieces of equipment on separate mains circuits.
- Ensure that the relevant items of equipment are properly and securely earthed to a common earth point using adequately sized cable or other
means of connection.
Where supplied or specified, shielded interconnection cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF
limits. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the company could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This product has been rigorously tested to comply with the European EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Directive. With regard to this, Beta
LaserMike recommends that any non-Beta LaserMike peripheral equipment is CE marked for the Heavy Industrial environment (EN50082-2).
Beta LaserMike also recommends that any cables not supplied by Beta LaserMike, but used for powering Beta LaserMike equipment, be built
using good EMC practices (i.e. cables with braided shield, and connectors with 360° termination of the braid to a metal/metalised shell connector
at both ends). If you have any questions regarding this, contact the Beta LaserMike Service Department.

Safety Information
Safety Information
• Under NO circumstances should the earth safety connections
be broken – internal damage to sensitive electronic components
may occur and at worst electrocution to personnel may result.
• This equipment must be earthed/grounded.
• Relays and associated wiring are rated for SELV levels i.e. 60
VDC & 30 VAC RMS. These levels must not be exceeded.
• Maintenance, repairs and electrical connections should be
performed by a suitably qualified person for the country of
installation.
• Input power to the equipment is of direct current type
designated by the symbol on equipment housing and shown
below.
Reference: IEC 60417-5031
• The equipment contains a slow blow type fuse to protect against
input power overloads and is not user replaceable.
Intended Use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Safety Information
Laser Classification
VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE
The Model LS8000-3 Non-contact Length and
Speed Gauge (Model LS8000-3) is classified as a
IIIb laser device. This category contains infrared and
visible laser devices with powers up to 500 mW.
The optical gauge in the system uses a 50 mW
solid-state laser device operating between 760 and
800 nm (near infrared region of the spectrum).
LASER RADIATION
AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM
CLASS 3B LASER PRODUCT
PEAK POWER 50mW
WAVELENGTH 650-810 nm
Complies with EN60825-1:2001. Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10
and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice
No. 50, dated July 26, 2001.
WARNING - NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
A class IIIb product must have the following safety
features:
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
A 5-second delay after power-up before laser radiation is emitted from
the gauge.
An indicator light to inform personnel near the gauge that laser
radiation is being emitted.
A mechanical device to physically block the laser beam from exiting the
gauge.
ꢀ
ꢀ
An interlock circuit to shut off the laser when the circuit is opened.
All hazards must be properly identified with warning labels.
These basic safety features are incorporated to promote safe operation of the
laser.
A class IIIb laser must also have a key switch to power the laser, ensuring that
only trained personnel can operate the instrument. Because the location of the
gauge can often make it difficult to access a key switch, the key switch needs
to be installed by the final user. It should be placed in a location that will be
readily accessible to the operators. For more information on installing the laser
key switch, see the Installing the System section.
The user of a laser device must comply with a different set of regulations.
Many countries and individual states have passed legislation regarding the use
of laser products.

Laser Safety Precautions
The laser beam in the optical gauge is very powerful and can permanently
damage eyes not protected by laser safety glasses. To avoid exposing
yourself to hazardous radiation, you must take these precautions:
• Never look into the laser beam. If you must look at the beam,
view it from an angle and in the direction in which the beam is
travelling.
• The beams emitted from the Model LS8000-3 are invisible to the
unaided eye. Return the beam shutter to the closed position
when the system is not in use or during setup.
• Ensure that all direct reflections are blocked.
• Remove all rings, watches, or jewellery from your hands when
working on or near the gauge—can cause hazardous reflections.
• Never install the instrument at eye level.
• Operate the system only with people who have been instructed
in laser safety.
• Post warning signs and lights that are active when laser is
operating.
