RISK OF INJURIES

CAUTION Stroboscope effects may cause epileptic seizures in sensitive people!

To guard against risks from epileptic seizures:

• Do not operate the fixture near stairways, in corridors, or near public exits.
• Provide advance notice that strobe lighting is in use. Display advisory notices at the point of ticket sales, on tickets if possible, in the program, and at the entrance(s) to the venue.
• Avoid extended periods of continuous flashing, particularly at frequencies of 10 to 20 flashes per second. At flash rates below 5 flashes per second, it is estimated that only 5% of flicker-sensitive persons will be at risk of seizure.
• Make sure that personnel at the venue are trained in the care of a person who is having an epileptic seizure and able to provide care if necessary.
• If strobes are in use and a person has a seizure, switch the strobes off immediately.
• Mount the fixture as high above head height as practicable.

INSTALLATION

The installation construction should be able to support a minimum point load of 10 times the weight of the device.

• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed, or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once a year
  and once before you bring it into service.

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, and determining the installation material to be used. Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.

• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

• The glass pane has to be replaced when it is damaged.

When carrying out any installation, always comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss, and all other safety issues. Always let the installation be checked out by an authorized dealer !
