Laser precautions
The Christie laser projection system components have laser classifications, as outlined by the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ranging from Class 1 to Class 4. Immediate skin
hazard and eye hazard can occur from exposure to either the direct or specular reflected beam.
This may pose a fire hazard or a diffuse reflection hazard.
• Wavelength: 435 nm to 660 nm
• Beam divergence: 0.1 rad to 0.96 rad, lens dependent
• Pulse pattern: Continuous Wave (CW).
• Maximum output: < 10 W
Failure to comply with the following results in death or serious injury.
• This product must be installed within a restricted access location which is normally
inaccessible by the general public, including workers, visitors, and residents in the
immediate vicinity, by means of engineering or administrative control measures but is
accessible to authorized personnel that have had specific safety training.
• The installation setup must prevent access to the nominal ocular hazard area.
Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• A qualified technician is required for all installations.
• Never look into the end of a fiber optic cable while the device is operational. Laser
radiation can be harmful to the human eye and injury may occur.
• Invisible infrared LED radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors.
Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
• Lasers contain a high energy density. These can be dangerous for skin tissue as well as
pose an electrical, chemical, and non-ionizing radiation hazard.
• Do not operate the Christie Laser Projection System with the laser rack access panels
removed.
Failure to comply with the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
• Turn the laser module breakers off before inspecting the fiber optic cable.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
