BenchMike Pro ID/OD/WALL Addendum: Caution i
Caution
x This equipment must be earthed/grounded.
x Under NO circumstances should the earth safety
connections be broken – internal damage to sensi-
tive electronic components may occur and at worst
electrocution to personnel may result.
x Digital outputs are open - collector outputs, with max-
imum specs of 35 V DC and 250ma. These levels
must not be exceeded.
x Maintenance, repairs and electrical connections
should be performed by a suitably qualified person
for the country of installation.
x 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.
Laser Safety Precautions
The BenchMike Pro uses a Collimated Diode laser which emits red light at a wavelength of 635nm. No invisible or
otherwise harmful radiation is emitted.
The radiant output power of either internal laser (whether it be a laser diode or gas laser) and of the entire
BenchMike Pro is relatively low. The laser beam will not harm your skin, and your eyes are protected by a natural
aversion response that will cause you to blink or look away. However, the laser light emitted from the BenchMike
Pro should be treated with caution and common sense. Do not attempt to look into the BenchMike Pro, and avoid
staring at reflections of the beam.
The American National Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers (ANSI Z136.1 — 2014) classifies this laser product
as Low Power — Class II and provides reasonable and adequate guides for its safe use. The user of the Bench-
Mike Pro and other personnel responsible for its safe use should consult this ANSI standard. It is available from:
American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York, New York 10018
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration has established
regulations for manufacturers of laser products. All laser products sold in the U.S.A. since August, 1976 must be
certified by the manufacturer as meeting certain product performance (safety) standards, and each laser must
bear a label indicating compliance with the standard and denoting laser hazard classification.

FCC Manual Digital Devices Statement
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference, in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Important Note
This BenchMike Pro ID/OD/WALL Addendum is designed to be used in conjunction with the BenchMike
Pro Instruction Handbook and BenchMike Pro Operator Guide. This Addendum contains only specific in-
formation about the BenchMike Pro ID/OD/WALL, while the Instruction Handbook and Operator Guide
contain information about all BenchMike Pros, with and without special fixtures.
Your questions about the use of the ID/OD/WALL features of the BenchMike Pro should be answered by
