Notice on safety

This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable international safety standards. These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment's normal operation fails.

Notice on optical radiation

This projector embeds a light source incorporating high brightness lasers. The laser light is processed through the projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower brightness than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light can represent a significant risk for the human eye and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source, which is equivalent with lamp based systems. Thermal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the intensity equals the applicable exposure limit as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.

This projector is classified as a laser product under IEC 60825-1: 2014, EN 60825-1:2014+A11:2021. The projector, in particular the projection beam, is classified as a Risk Group (RG) under IEC EN 62471-5:2015.

Optical radiation safety precautions

• This product is classified as Class 1 Laser Product-Risk Group 2 of IEC 60825-1:2014 and also complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 as a Risk Group 2, LIP ( Laser Illuminated Projector) as defined in IEC 62471-5:Ed.1.0. For more information see Laser Notice No. 57, dated May 8, 2019.
• To ensure safety operation, read all laser safety precautions before installing and operating the projector.
• According to IEC 60825-1:2014 and IEC 62471:2006, this projector may become CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT - RISK GROUP 3 product when installed with G-lens (throw ratio 2.90-5.50).
• To ensure safety operation, read all laser safety precautions before installing or operating the projector.
• Additional RG2 warning against eye exposure for close exposures less than 1m. WARNING: MOUNT ABOVE THE HEADS OF CHILDREN.

For G62-W9

• As with any bright source, do not stare into the direct beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015 This projector is class 1 laser product of IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 and risk group 2 with the requirements of IEC 62471-5:2015 Additional instructions to supervise children, no staring, and not use optical aids.
• Notice is given to use caution when using the remote control for starting the projector while in front of the projection lens.
• Notice is given to supervise children and to never allow them to stare into the projector beam at any distance from the projector.
• Notice is given to the user to avoid the use of optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes inside the beam.

For G62-W11 & G62-W14

• As with any bright source, do not stare into the direct beam, RG2 IEC 62471-5:2015 No direct exposure to the beam shall be permitted, RG3 IEC 62471-5:2015 (When Throw Ratio large than 2.9).

• Additional instructions to supervise children, no staring, and not use optical aids.
• Notice is given to supervise children and to never allow them to stare into the projector beam at any distance from the projector.
• Notice is given to use caution when using the remote control for starting the projector while in front of the projection lens.
• Notice is given to the user to avoid the use of optical aids such as binoculars or telescopes inside the beam.

Users definition

These projectors are intended “FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY”, this means installation can only be carried out by trained and authorized persons.

Throughout this manual, the terms SERVICE PERSONNEL, INSTALLER refers to persons having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY, HIGH TEMPERATURES and HIGH BRIGHTNESS SOURCES) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risks to themselves or other persons.

The term USER or OPERATOR of RG2 projectors refers to any other person than SERVICE PERSONNEL or INSTALLER. The term USER or OPERATOR of RG3 projectors refers to any person trained and authorized to operate professional RG3 projectors. The USER or OPERATOR may only perform the maintenance tasks set forth in the user manual or the maintenance tasks for which they are trained and authorized. All other maintenance tasks and service tasks must be performed by qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL.
