4. Mounting & Heatsinking
The Cameo laser module is designed to be mounted via its threaded front barrel (M12X1 Thread)
ideally to a metal mounting bracket or bulkhead. To further assist mounting the module is
supplied with a nut which is tted to the front barrel. A tool to t a 15mm nut is required for
adjustment. The direct contact of the barrel to the mount helps to ensure heat sinking and
improve laser diode lifetime. To further improve reliability the barrel is isolated from the laser
diode supply voltage at all times. The case temperature should be kept within the specied
range at all times failure to do this could result in shortened lifetime or catastrophic failure. As a
guide, laser diode lifetime decreases by a factor of two (approx) for every ten degree increase in
operating temperature.
5. Safety & Classication
These modules are intended for incorporation into customer equipment. They are classied in
accordance with IEC60825 2007, which should be consulted prior to designing or using any
laser product. The following labels are supplied for attachment to the customer’s equipment,
but responsibility for compliance with the standard remains with the user.
