Safety
separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of
physical barriers.
For applications installed in the USA market the above limits for cinema like environments do not apply. The
relevant minimum separation height is 2.5m (8,2 ft) by the FDA CDRH. Non cinema like environments require
2.5 meter (8.2 ft) separation height and 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) separation width for areas where restrained behavior
is to be expected. All other areas require 3.0 (9.9 ft) separation height.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between
the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating
sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the
surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.
OnImage 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If
required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier,
like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1-2.
The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.
