INFRARED CAMERA SAFETY
The IR camera is classified as Risk Group 1 (low risk) in accordance with IEC-62471. When the IR
LEDs are active, their emissions can cause an infrared radiation hazard for the eye over a period of
time at close range. Since light provided from the IR LED is outside of the visible range, it is not
possible to see if the IR LED is active; therefore, if working at close proximity to the camera, use
appropriate shielding or eye protection. Refer to Figure 1-5.
DANGER!
RISK OF EYE INJURY!
Do not look directly into the IR LED at close range.
