PDR Focused IR Safety Statement
Extensive tests have been conducted covering both Electrical and Infra-Red safety aspects on all of PDR's products.
The IR tests were administered in 1986 by a National Physical Laboratory approved establishment: ERA based at
Leatherhead, Surrey, England.
Optical
The Infra-Red system was tested for its maximum emission produced during working operation and the following
results obtained:
On a non reflective surface, i.e. FR4 substrate, if one's eye is placed 150mm away looking down at an angle
one could be subjected to approximately 0.9mW/cm2 at full power.
On a reflective surface, i.e. polished aluminium at a normal distance of 300mm, one would be subjected to
approximately 0.9mW/cm2.
These measurements were deemed to be safe and about 10% of the allowable exposure limit.
Electrical
The equipment is operator safe, tested for electrical safety in all aspects and complies with the relevant European
regulations.
