2.7 Safety during Normal Operation
2.7.1 Warnings during Normal Operation
DANGER!
Severe injuries or death may be caused by electric shock from electric
charge inside the housing.
Immediately after disconnection, the contacts of the mains plug may still carry
voltage for a short period.
Do NOT touch the contacts of the mains plug directly after switch-off.
DANGER!
Severe injuries or death for persons with active implants
The magnetic field of the M=LIGHT LED may interfere with the function of
implants, e.g. cardiac pacemakers, if the safety distance specified for the
implant is not complied with.
Persons with active implants must keep a distance of at least 1 m to the
activated M=LIGHT LED.
DANGER!
Severe injuries or death due to dangerous electrical shock or burns due to
melting power cord
Unsuitable power cords can cause the power cord to overheat, resulting in
serious injury, death, burns, and dangerous voltage surges on the melting power
cord.
Use only the hot appliances power cord supplied by MESSRING with the
M=LIGHT LED.
DO NOT replace hot appliance power cords with other power cords.
DANGER!
Severe injuries or death may be caused by electric shock from electric
voltage
Work on components that have NOT been disconnected and are under
dangerous electric voltage will cause severe injuries (e.g. burns, paralysis,
cardiac arrest), including death.
Only have work carried out by qualified experts.
Use only power cords supplied by MESSRING with the M=LIGHT LED.
Observe the safety rules for switching-off and securing before working at
power lines and devices.

operating time.
Do NOT touch the shaft of the suspension during operation or shortly
after switching off the M=LIGHT LED.
NOTE!
Damage and breakdown of the M=LIGHT LED
Overheating of the M=LIGHT LED due to insufficient ventilation.
Do NOT cover the ventilation slots.
Do NOT position the M=LIGHT LED directly on the housing.
DO NOT install the M=LIGHT LED in the exhaust air flow of additional
M=LIGHT LEDs.
NOTE!

3.2 Specification
M=LIGHT LED for continuous or pulsed operation.
The M=LIGHT LED is made up of 98 LEDs and can be used in continuous or pulsed operation. In
pulsed operation, the M=LIGHT LED is synchronized with the high-speed camera and twice as
much light output can be achieved as in continuous mode. The M=LIGHT LED can optionally be
operated manually or via the CAN-bus with the help of the software. In pulsed operation, it is
possible to eliminate backlight effects due to control of separate M=LIGHT LED groups. For the
elimination of backlight effects, only one camera synchronized with one M=LIGHT LED group is
switched on (Figure 1).
