Conditions of use 

           

The Chameleon is only suitable for indoor use, or situations that meet the 

same environmental conditions. 

The machine must only be used vertically, secured in position, protected 
from unauthorised interference, impact forces and vibration. 
Any  installation  or  re  positioning  should  only  be  performed  when  the 
machine  is  cool,  disconnected  from  the  mains  supply  and  all  data 
communication. 

           

Safety distances must be given a priority when using the Chameleon. 

This not only includes those in the performance area, but to surrounding 
flammable objects and the base area upon which the Chameleon is sited. 
Full risk assessments must be made before use, and all relevant 
emergency failure procedures must be immediately available. i.e. qualified 
personnel, fire extinguishers and medical aid. 
All operations should have undergone preliminary tests and rehearsal. 
Should any conditions change that would indicate an unsafe operation an 
emergency shut down should be instigated. 
E-stop control should always be included in any installation format. 

 

An absolute minimum guidance is a safety radius of 2m. 
An absolute minimum guidance is a height safety distance of 8m. 
These distances should not less than that dictated by risk assessment. 
These distances will not apply to instances where drafts or airflow will 
cause the calculated safety distances to be greater. 

       

The  use  of  an  electronic  gas  sensor,  which  should  be  part  of  standard 
equipment used by qualified personnel, is recommended for checking the 
integrity of the Chameleon as a standard safety procedure. 

           

No canister, fuel supply or alternative gas / fluids should be used with the 

Chameleon unless specifically approved by the manufacturer. 

No modifications, alterations or service is permitted unless specifically 
approved by the manufacturer.
