CAUTION!
This product has been tested according to standard CIE/IEC
62471:2006 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp
systems” and found to meet Risk Group 2 for exposure limit
4.3.7 “Infrared radiation hazard exposure limits for the eye.”
For other hazard exposure limits, the product was found to be
exempt. Risk Group 2 is characterized in the standard as
“products generally do not pose a realistic optical hazard if
aversion responses limit the exposure duration or where
lengthy exposures are unrealistic.” Since there is no aversion
response for IR, avoid eye exposure. Risk Group 2 sources do
not pose an infrared radiation hazard for the eye within 10 s at
distances beyond 200 mm or 8 inches. The Exposure Hazard
Value for the product (ratio of the Exposure level to the
Exposure limit) is up to 10 at a test distance of 200 mm (8
inches). The Hazard Distance (distance beyond which the
product falls into the exempt/safe group) is at most 640 mm
(25 inches). Note that typical use cases are well beyond the
Hazard Distance.When servicing the unit, physically disconnect
the power supply to avoid possible IR exposure to the eyes. If
physical disconnection is not possible, use appropriate
shielding to block the LED panel or use eye protection with a
transmission of 10% or less at a wavelength of 850 nm.
Coax grounding:
–Ground the cable system if connecting an outside cable
system to the unit.
–Connect outdoor equipment to the unit's inputs only after
this unit has had its grounding plug connected to a
grounded outlet or its ground terminal is properly
connected to a ground source.
–Disconnect the unit's input connectors from outdoor
equipment before disconnecting the grounding plug or
grounding terminal.
–Follow proper safety precautions such as grounding for
U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
