$CHRISTIE-Griffyn-Series-4K50-Lumen-3DLP-Laser-Projector-fig- $24$$

A —Hazard zone. The region of space where the projection light from the projector is above emission limits for Risk Group 2. The light intensity may cause eye damage after a momentary or brief exposure (before a person can avert his or her eyes away from the light source). The light may cause skin burns to occur.
B —Hazard distance. Operators must control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product preventing potential exposure of the spectators’ eyes from being in the hazard distance.
C —No access zone. Horizontal clearance of the no-access zone must be a minimum of 2.5 meters.
D —Vertical distance to hazard zone. The hazard zone must be no lower than 3.0 meters above the floor.
E —Represents the top view of the projector.
F —Represents the side view of the projector.

For information detailing the hazard distance for each lens, refer to the Griffyn Series Installation and Setup Guide (P/N: 020-103314-XX).

Installations

For Installations in the United States
The following must be in place for laser-illuminated projector installations in the United States:

Any human access to the hazard zone, if applicable, must be restricted by barriers to enforce the no-access zone.
Permanent show installations containing Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors must meet the following conditions:
- Installed by Christie or by Christie-authorized and trained installers.
- Refer to the EXTERNAL – Laser safety awareness training (Course code: CS-ELSA-01) on the http://www.christieuniversity.com site.
Performed according to instructions provided by Christie.
Ensure the projection system is securely mounted or immobilized to prevent unintended movement or misalignment of the projections.
A copy of the FDA variance approval letter must be with the operator or other responsible individual.
Temporary show installations containing Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors may be installed by Christie or sold or leased only to valid laser light show variance holders (laser light show manufacturers) for image projection applications. Such manufacturers may currently hold a valid variance for the production of Class IIIb and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporation of the Risk Group 3 laser-illuminated projectors into their shows. This requirement applies also to dealers and distributors of these laser-illuminated projectors.
For temporary installations, the FDA variance holder must maintain complete records of all show itineraries with dates, locations, operator names, and contact information clearly and completely identified.
The Christie Laser Projection System Installation Checklist must be fully completed after the installation and sent to lasercompliance@christiedigital.com. A copy can remain on-site. This checklist can be found as a separate document in the accessory box with the manual.
Certain US states have additional laser regulatory requirements. Contact lasercompliance@christiedigital.com for additional regulatory requirements.
