Do not expose the eye or skin to any laser light directly or through any optical lens. When handling LD Slot Module, do not look directly at the light generated by it. Wear appropriate safety glasses to prevent light from entering the eye by reflection off of another surface. The following specifications are required of the safety glasses. • Wavelength : 300nm～500nm • OD (Optical Density) : > 4 • Visible Light Transmission: > 20% Nichia LD Slot Module is classified in Class 4 of IEC60825-1 and 21 CFR Part 1040.10 Safety Standards. It is absolutely necessary to take overall safety measures against User's modules, equipment and systems into which Nichia LD Slot Module is incorporated and/or integrated. (2) Operating method LD Slot Module is to change light output power due to the fluctuation in temperature etc. It has some tendency to gradually increase electric current necessary to keep the output power constant during its operation. When precise optical output control is required, it is recommended to use an external photo diode to monitor output power and use APC (Automatic Power Control) function in the operating circuit. Confirm that electrical spike current generated by switching on and off does not exceed the maximum operating current level specified herein above as absolute max rating. Also, employ appropriate countermeasures to reduce chattering and/or overshooting in the Circuit. (3) Static Electricity Static electricity or electrical surges will reduce and degrade the reliability of the LD Slot Module. When working with the product, take countermeasures to avoid the generation of static electricity. (4) Absolute Maximum Rating Active layer of LD Slot Module shall have high current density and generate high electric field during its operation. In order to prevent excessive damage, the LD Slot Module must be operated strictly below Absolute Max Rating. (5) Others LD Slot Module described in this brochure is intended to be used for ordinary electronic equipment (such as printer, exposure devices, etc). Consult Nichia’s sales staff in advance for information on the applications in which exceptional quality and reliability are required, particularly when the failure or malfunction of the LD Slot Module may directly jeopardize life or health (such as for airplanes, aerospace, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, automobiles, traffic control equipment, life support systems and safety devices). Nichia prohibits Purchaser from reverse engineering, disassembling, or taking any other steps to derive the structure or design of the LD Slot Module. The appearance and specifications of the product may be modified for improvement without notice. The formal specifications must be exchanged and signed by both parties before large volume purchase begins. -2-
