Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL 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 and HIGH
BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk to
themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any person other than SERVICE
PERSONNEL, AUTHORIZED to operate professional projection systems.
The XDL projector is intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar
with potential hazards associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams and high temperatures
generated by the light source and associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable
of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure.
1.2 Safety training to be provided by the installer
Users definition
The XDL projector 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 an RG3 product. Based on international requirements, no person is
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 and width or by
placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable
separation heights and widths are discussed in
“ High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD) ” , page
17.
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.
