Safety & Compliance IntelliGaze™ Installation & Service Manual
3 Safety & Compliance
The IntelliGaze™ IG-30 and IG30NT systems have been certified for general office use as in the class of
information and telecommunication devices. The system will meet or exceed the required standard
according to the CE certification below.
3.1 Safety of the Infrared Illumination
The IG-30 and IG-30NT camera system contains LED sources that emit light in the near infrared (NIR)
spectrum. The light emission levels have been measured and calculated to comply with the European
laser safety standard EN60825-1.
The standards contain test procedures to verify that the emitted light will cause no thermal injury to
the eye of a person being exposed to the light. The product is classified as a Class 1 LED product and
complies with the standards for long-time exposure.
Exposure varies with the chosen frame-rate and working distance. For comparison reason: the user will
be exposed to about 200W/cm² at 40Hz tracking rate in the suggested operating
distance of 600mm.
3.2 Magnetic Field Hazard
The CAM30 / CAM30NT units contain magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with the
function of cardiac pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.
As a general rule, please maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm (4 inches) between
the frontal part of the device and any implanted, electronic device.
3.3 Epilepsia / Photosensitive Seizure Warning
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images,
including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history
of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive
epileptic seizures while using a gaze interaction device on a computer screen.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of aware-
ness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop while using a gaze interaction device on a computer screen and consult a doctor if
you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms - children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
•
Using a gaze interaction device on a computer screen only in a well-lit room.
•
Do not use a gaze interaction device on a computer screen if you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
