The following diagram shows the zones for optical and skin hazard distances : CHRISTIE-DWU1400-GS-GS-Series-Laser-Projector-FIG2

A—Hazard zone. The region of space where the projection light from the laser-illuminated 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 to prevent 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 GS Series User Manual (P/N: 020- 001908-XX).

For Installations in the United States

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

Any human access horizontally to the hazard zone, if applicable, must be restricted by barriers.
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 Laser Illuminated Projector-Class 1 Risk Group 3 Installation training (Course code: CF-LIPI-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.
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.
The Christie Laser Projection System (Enterprise) Installation Checklist must be fully completed after the installation and sent to lasercompliance@christiedigital.com. A copy can remain onsite. This checklist can be found as a separate document in the accessory box with the manual.
Certain US states have additional laser regulatory requirements. Go to www.christiedigital.com for further information.
