LSS-2380 warning module with visual and audible warning abilities mounts cleanly on the surface of the wall beside the entry door. The posted warning sign references this module to warn of the present laser state.
The warning meets the requirements of ANSI Z136.1-2007, sections 4.3.9.4, 4.3.9.4.1, and 4.3.9.4.2
$268
LSS-2381 Interlock control module to arm and disarm the laser interlock system. It is mounted on the wall surface at a convenient location in the laser area. The yellow illuminated arming button reminds workers in the area when the system is armed.
$260
LSS-2384 Laser/Shutter Interface Module attaches to the laser power supply interlock connector. It is mounted on the wall near the laser power supply or on the side of the laser table. The interlock system 24VDC power is brought in at this location from a wall-wart power supply at the same time the relay contacts for the laser are brought out.

A client at a university needed defeatable access control but magnetic locks were not permitted
There are some localities that have strict restrictions on the use of magnetic locks because of a perceived egress issue. At Laser Safety Systems, we have designed our magnetic lock systems to have multiple failsafe methods for quickly releasing the lock, but we still find customers who are not permitted to use them.
The magnetic lock is not a necessary part of the laser safety interlock, but it does serve two major functions:
1. It prevents nuisance trips by holding the door closed until the interlock bypass circuitry has been activated by an entry or exit request.
2. It provides positive access control, granting access only to properly trained individuals who have been given the access code.
In 2008, Laser Safety Systems developed an alternative (patent pending) solution that has all the benefits of the magnetic lock, but none of the shortcomings.
We can now recommend a system using the LSS-2386 Defeatable Access Control System with Electronic Mortise Latch
LSS-2386 Defeatable Access Control Kit.
The electronic mortise latch restricts access to the room to personnel who have been laser trained and given the proper entry code. The latch also contains a wireless infrared transmitter which transmits a coded signal to the LSS-2386 receiver module when a proper user code has been entered to initiate an interlock override.
The kit contains all necessary components to interlock a door for defeatable access in accordance with ANSI Z136.1-2007 section 4.3.10.2.2.
Includes:
CL-5210 Electronic Mortise Latch
Access override transmitter with interior handle hand proximity detector
LSS-2386 receiver/display module
Dual contact magnetic sensor with armored cable.
Complete Access Control Kit $1585
A typical entryway using the LSS-2386 system.
A proper Class 4 laser area setup for defeatable access control. Curtain design and layout varies with environment.
Example of the laser area exit. With our hand proximity detector, there is no longer a need for a push-to-exit button to initiate the access timer.
Example of the laser table interlock control components. Note the clean and effective use of our surface track mounting products.
An alternate method of mounting the laser table interlock control components
using a floor-to-ceiling steel box conduit. (Wiremold or equivalent)
This is common for laser tables placed in the center of a room.
Your Engineered Laser Safety Solution
LSS-2383 EMERGENCY CRASH MODULE is a safety device specified in ANSI Z136.1-2007 section 4.3.10.2.1. We recommend this module at the interior of the entry door to rapidly shut down the laser in an emergency. The switch is a maintained mushroom push-lock, turn-reset type Emergency Stop switch with LED backlit illumination.
