2 Precautions / Safety Instructions 2.1 Safety Instructions Read and understand this manual prior to use the product. Misuse of the product may result in damages. Tattile is not responsible for any damage due to negligence in reading this manual. Mount the device on a mechanically stable structure. The camera shall be reachable only by maintenance operator. DANGER! Use a power supplier with SELV output. Always observe the polarities of the power supplies and the power requirements specified in this manual. Turn off all electrical power before making or breaking any electrical connections. Making or breaking connections when power is on can results in damage to the device. Do not place the power supply and signal cables parallel to cables carrying high‐current switching voltages. DANGER! High levels of artificial optical radiation can cause damage to both eyes and skin. Exposure limit values have been drawn up for such hazards. Every light system is placed within a Risk Group, which defines the level of risk when the light is used normally, higher level, higher risk group number, from 1 to 3. When the light emits less than the exposure limit values it is categorized as Exempt Group. Evaluation of risk group is made at 0.2 m distance, that is the minimum hazard distance considered. The hazard distance (HD) is the point furthest from the illuminator at which the Exempt Group exposure limit is exceeded. RMM_00053_02 8 / 38 VEGA1 Series...
