Danger due to LED light
Caution
LED light beam
The ICI8x0 line illumination uses LEDs as light source.
Variants with red LEDs (ICI890-0x and ICI890-2x) conform to risk group RG1, variants with
white LEDs (ICI890-3x), blue-white LEDs (ICI890-1x) and blue LEDs (ICI890-4x) conform to
risk group RG2 according to IEC 62471-1: 2006-07/EN 62471-1: 2008-09.
Risk group RG 1
The accessible radiation does not represent a risk due to the normal restrictions imposed
by human behavior.
▸
Do not look into the light source.
Risk group RG 2
CAUTION
– Possibly hazardous visible radiation emitted from the illumination unit.
The accessible radiation does not pose a hazard due to aversion responses from bright
light sources or thermal discomfort and under consideration of the following behaviour.
▸
Do not look into the light source for extended periods of time during operation. May be
harmful to the eyes.
▸
Do not point light sources at people and prevent light sources from reflecting off
reflective surfaces onto people, particularly when mounting and commissioning the
illumination unit.
▸
Do not open the housing of the illumination unit, as this does not deactivate the light
source and may increase the level of risk.
Both risk groups
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary, disorienting optical effects on the human
eye (e.g., dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages, photosensitive epilepsy, impairment of
color vision), particularly in low ambient light conditions.
CAUTION
– Use of operating or adjusting devices or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
▸
Observe the current national regulations on photobiological safety of lamps and lamp
systems.
The entire window area of the front screen is the outlet opening of the LED light beam.
