UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment. These safety standardsimpose important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access
to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability
and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk offire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the
safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to persons having appropriate technical training and experience
necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELEC-
TRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize
the potential risk to themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any person other than SERVICE PER-
SONNEL, AUTHORIZED to operate professional projection systems.
A HDX projector is intended FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar with potential hazards
associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams, ultraviolet exposure and high temperatures generated by the lamp and
associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions
inside the product enclosure.
