product, the prior written approval of the manufacturer must be obtained.
2.6 Operational safety and particular hazards
Please observe the safety information and the warnings listed here and in other chap‐
ters of these operating instructions to reduce the possibility of risks to health and avoid
dangerous situations.
CAUTION
Class 1/1M laser beam!
The accessible beam does not represent a hazard even if you view it directly for a long
period of time (base period of 100 seconds).
1. Never look into the laser beam directly with optical instruments (e.g., magnifying
glasses, microscopes, telescopes/binoculars)
2. Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
CAUTION
LED risk group 1
The accessible beam from the illumination unit (RG 1) does not represent a risk due to
the normal restrictions imposed by human behavior.
LED risk group 2
The accessible beam from the illumination unit (RG 2) does not represent a risk due to
aversion responses to very bright light sources and the perception of heat.
For both types of beams
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary, disorienting optical effects on the
human eye (e.g., dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages, impairment of color vision, pho‐
tosensitive epilepsy at flash frequencies of between 1 Hz and 160 Hz, depending on
the configuration), particularly in conditions of dim lighting. No safety precautions are
required.
Comply with the latest version of the applicable regulations on photobiological safety of
lamps and lamp systems as well as on laser protection.
If the product is operated in conjunction with external illumination systems, the risks
described here may be exceeded. This must be taken into consideration by users on a
case-by-case basis.
CAUTION
Dangerous exposure to radiation
If any operating or adjusting devices other than those specified here are used or other
methods are employed, this can lead to dangerous exposure to radiation. Damage to
the eyes is possible.
