STREAMLINE LASER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING!
The laser light emitted by this unit may be in the infrared (non-visible) region of the electromagnetic
spectrum. Avoid Exposure to direct or scattered radiation from the laser. Use extreme caution at all times
when the laser is in use.
The output power of these laser devices is sometimes high enough to cause permanent damage to the
human eye. You should wear appropriate laser safety goggles at all times when the laser is operational.
All laser safety warning labels are provided on the unit and be taken into note. Warning labels comply
with IEC-60825.1:2014.
STRUCTURED LIGHT AND
LASER BEAM SHAPING SOLUTIONS
OPERATING THE LASER
• The laser can be focused with the aid of a 1/16” dowel pin provided with the laser, or any other similar tool
• Fit the dowel pin in the notches as shown in the image. A half turn either way will allow you to move the focal
point throughout its focus range from 100mm to infinity
• NOTE: some lasers (i.e. Micron Focus) have a factory set pre-focus, dowel pin will not be provided
• As on Option, Laser can be equipped with a trim potentiometer found on back of laser to linearly adjust
intensity from 100% to 0%. Use an appropriate sized flat head screwdriver.
• Connect to DC power supply
• The green LED on back of laser
will be ON when the laser is
emitting radiation
• Connect to ground • Can be used for modulation
using an analog signal.

Clamping area = For optimal performance and lifetime of the laser, fixing the laser using a C-mount bracket (or any
bracket with increased contact area) is recommended. The designated clamping area of the laser can be found on the
mechanical drawing in the Datasheet.
Refer to electronics table in troubleshooting section for operating voltages for your specific laser configuration.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
The lasers operating temperature range is from -10°C to 50°C. As a protection, at approximately 45°C the
lasers will automatically shutdown. Full operation will resume once the laser falls within its normal working
temperature range.
It is important to note, as a general rule of thumb the laser lifetime decreases 50% for every 10 degree increase
in operating temperature.
Using a heat sink with the laser is recommended. As with all semiconductor materials, avoid exposure to
electrostatic discharges.
Operate the laser in an environment in which there is normal aeration.
LASER SAFETY
It is extremely important to follow laser safety and wear appropriate eyewear when working around lasers. Do
not shine laser in the direction of other people or at reflective surfaces that might cause exposure to the human
eye. Do not intentionally mount laser at eye level.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. Modifications, which affect any aspect of the product’s performance or intended
functions, will require re-certification of the product in accordance with the provisions of 21CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11.
Class 3B lasers are not intended for use in surveying, leveling, alignment, or medical applications. Laser classification
is performed according to United States Center for Devices & Radiological Health (CDRH) document 21 CFR 1040.10,
and or the International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) document 60825-1:2nd edition.
CLASS 1M Denotes lasers that do not pose a hazard under normal or single fault conditions. No risk to eyes
including use of optical instrument. No risk to skin. Laser emitting devices are lasers that are safe
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for
intra-beam viewing.
CLASS 2M No risk to skin. Includes lasers emitting visible radiation (400 nm to 700 nm) where eye protection
is normally provided by an aversion response (blink reflex). No risk to eyes for short time exposure
including use of optical instruments. This means that the low power light is not intended for
direct viewing.
CLASS 3R Direct intra-beam viewing is potentially hazardous; a label must be used.
CLASS 3B Denotes lasers that pose a hazard when viewed directly, whether magnifying viewing aids are
used or not.

PRODUCT WARRANTY
The laser is guaranteed to be free from material & manufacturing defects for a period 12 months (diode dependent,
please inquire) from the date of shipment. Should the product fail during this period, the company will, at its
discretion, repair or replace the damaged unit. The repaired or replaced unit will be covered for the remainder of
the original equipment warranty period. The warranty does not apply to the units examined by the company that
are found to have failed due to abuse, acts of nature, mishandling, alteration, improper installation or negligence.
Removal of the laser safety sticker renders warranty null and void. All returns require a Return Merchandise
Authorization number (RMA#). This number can be obtained by contacting the distributor from which the unit
was purchased.
