2.2.2. Fluorometers
2.2.2.1. Safety Statement
A Hyperion Fluorometer is classified as Risk Group 1 under standard 62471. As the type is classified as Risk Group
1 solely due to radiation in the visible band a hazard label is not required. However,
·
the LED used is in excess of the Exempt Group and that the viewer- related risk is dependent upon how the
user installs and operates the equipment.
·
the exposure hazard value (EHV) for a Hyperion Fluorometer in terms of distance is 320mm
Never look directly into the Hyperion aperture
