ARNING
:
The installer is responsible that the user is instructed. The user will sign a document to con fi rm
that the instructions have been received and understood.
Users de fi nition
The Prometheus 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.
• Small glass parts can leave the projector in the event of lamp explosion. Keep 1 m (40 in.) distance from the air outlet side of
the projector during operation.
• The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.
• The requirements for a restricted access location and an exclusion zone .
Restricted access location
To protect untrained persons and children, the projector must be installed in a restricted access location . The de fi nition 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.
Exclusion zone
The projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation. Exposing fl ammable or
combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a
fi re. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an exclusion zone around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no
fl ammable or combustible materials are present:
• The exclusion zone must not be less than 40 cm (16 in.).
• Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4 in.) on any side.
• Never look into the exhaust output on top of the projector. High luminance, UV radiation and glass particles in the event of a
lamp explosion could result in damage to the eye. The installation of an exhaust system on top of the projector is mandatory
before operating the projector.
To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into
account. See "Light beam Hazard Distance (HD)", page 10.
