Users definition
The Thor series is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or
service personnel) to identify energy sources that may cause injury and to take precautions to avoid
unintentional contact with or exposure to those energy sources.
The skilled person must instruct the user about:
•
High intensity light beam. The user must respect the exclusion zone, based on the light beam Hazard
Distance (HD).
•
Dangerous energy sources inside the projector. The user is not allowed to remove any cover from the
projector.
•
The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
•
The requirements for a
restricted access location
, an
exclusion zone
and a
restriction zone
.
Restricted access location
To protect untrained persons and children, the projector must be installed in a
restricted access location
.
The definition of a
restricted access location
is a location for equipment where both of the following
paragraphs apply:
•
Access can only be gained by skilled persons (installer or service personnel) or persons who have been
instructed and trained by a skilled person. The persons must have been instructed about the reasons for
the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions that shall be taken.
•
Access is only possible through the use of the tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Why a restricted access location: This is a RG3 product. Based on international requirements, no person in
allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related Hazard
Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing
optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable
separation heights are discussed in
High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)
, page 16.
Exclusion zone
The projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation.
Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the
spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an
exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or combustible materials
are present:
•
The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in).
Restriction zone
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance
(HD) shall be taken into account.
2.3 Important safety instructions
To prevent the risk of electrical shock
•
Installation according to the local electrical code and regulations by qualified technical personnel only. Do
not defeat the purpose of the grounding.
•
A readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated externally to the equipment for removal of the
power to the projector mains terminals.
•
Warning: High leakage current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply.
•
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this projector where persons will walk on the
cord.
•
Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord or if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it
has been examined and approved for operation by a qualified service technician.
•
Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
•
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should
be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
