1.4. Heat and fire hazard
•
Do not operate the unit near highly flammable sub‐
stances, e.g. alcohol or gasoline.
•
The projector may only be operated when mounted
securely and with the tilt of the projector head
locked. A projector which has toppled over or a pro‐
jector head which has dropped down can cause sur‐
faces to catch fire.
•
The projector's beam of light can reach high temper‐
atures at close range. Keep flammable materials at a
safe distance of 0.5 m / 1.6 ft from the light exit point.
This distance increases the more projectors are used
to illuminate a location. Make sure to keep flam‐
mable materials (e.g. curtains) far away from the haz‐
ardous area.
•
The projector heats up during operation. Risk of
burns! Allow the projector to cool down for at least
ten minutes before changing a projection motif or
performing other tasks on the projector.
•
The projector is cooled actively or passively, depend‐
ing on its type, and requires an unobstructed flow of
air for cooling. Keep a minimum distance of 0.3 m / 1
ft from walls and objects on all sides.
•
Do not cover the projector with sheeting or insulat‐
ing material. Do not operate the projector in a closed
casing. Effective cooling is only possible if the dis‐
charged warm air can escape and cool air can flow in
freely.
•
Protect the front lens from direct sunlight. Sunlight is
concentrated through the front lens and can cause
damage and fire inside the projector.

1.5. Optical radiation hazard
According to the DIN EN 62471-5:2015 standard, the pro‐
jector is classified in risk group 2 (RG-2) of the photobiolo‐
gical hazard classes. To avoid the risk of glare from visible
optical radiation, observe the following safety regula‐
tions:
•
Do not stare directly into the light beam.
•
Never look into the light beam at a short distance (<
1 m / 3.3 ft). Permanent eye injury may occur if you
expose yourself to the light beam within the hazard‐
ous zone.
•
Install the projector in a location where a distance of
more than 1 m / 3.3 ft can be kept from the eyes of
people exposed to the beam of light.
•
Only change the projection motif (gobo) when the
projector is switched off.
•
Do not modify the optical components of the pro‐
jector (projection lens, other lenses, light source).
Only use original accessories and replace damaged
components only with original spare parts. A modi‐
fied device may be categorised into a higher photo‐
biological risk group.
1.6. Mounting
The projector must be firmly attached to a stable and
load-bearing surface or structure.
Local regulations on the safety of buildings, especially
regulations on places of assembly, must be observed:
•
Building regulations of the federal states: Safety of
construction sites and buildings
•
Regulations on places of assembly
•
Regulation on the construction and operation of spe‐
cial buildings (Special Construction Regulation)
