• Do not look continuously at LEDs from a distance of less than 0.5 meters (20 inches) from the front
surface of the fixture without protective eyewear such as shade 4-5 welding goggles. At less than this
distance, the LED emission can cause eye injury or irritation. At distances of 0.5 meters (20 inches) and
above, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided that the eye’s natural aversion response is not
overcome.
• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.
• Ensure that persons are not looking at the LEDs from within 0.5 meters (20 inches) when the product
lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal,
when a stand-alone program suddenly increases light output intensity or when SERVICE menu items are
selected.
• Install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an
official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight of all the fixtures it secures. The safety
cable must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and be capable of bearing a static suspended load
ten times the weight of the fixture.
• If suspending from a rigging structure, attach the fixture with two evenly spaced clamps. Do not use only
one clamp.
• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the
devices they support.
• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture
when it moves.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
• Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical component.
