Safety Notes
The Safety Notes include important laser system safety information. Read and understand all
instructions before powering on the laser for the first time
. Knowing these safety instructions is
crucial to avoiding laser eye injury and breaking the law. Keep this User Manual
in a safe place
for future reference.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
•Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety considerations. Permanent eye injury and
blindness is possible if lasers are used incorrectly. Pay close attention to each safety
REMARK and WARNING statement in this User Manual. Read all instructions carefully
BEFORE operating this device.
•Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
•Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning.
•Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
•Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
•Never disconnect the product from power by pulling or tugging on the cord.
•If mounting the product overhead, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
•Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.
•Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.
•This product is not intended for permanent installation.
•Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet to which you are connecting the product is
within the range stated on the decal or rear panel of the product.
•The product is for indoor use only! (IP20) To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose the
product to rain or moisture.
•Always install the product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from
adjacent surfaces.
•Be sure that no ventilation slots on the product’s housing are blocked.
•Never connect the product to a dimmer.
•Always use the mounting bracket to carry the product.
•Do not switch the product on/off in short intervals. This will reduce the laser diode life.
•Do not shake this product. Avoid brute force when mounting or operating this product.
•ALWAYS use a safety cable when mounting the product overhead.
•The ambient operating temperature for the laser is 59 °F to 95 °F (15 °C to 35 °C). Do not
operate this product outside this range.
•In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the product immediately.
•Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage
or malfunction. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center.
•To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve the lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the products from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
CAUTION! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than THOSE specified IN
THIS USER MANUAL may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•Chauvet requires the placement of sandbags on the base of the stand for added
stability.
•DO NOT go past the printed stopping point on the mast.
•DO NOT over-tighten the knob at the tripod mounting insertion point, as it may
damage the mast of the stand.
•DO NOT use this stand in any way that it was not intended.

Page 10 of 156 GigBAR 2.0 User Manual Rev. 2
•Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to
direct laser light.
•This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly
strikes the eyes.
•It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the audience or
other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
•It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
•Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!
•Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If transferring ownership of the product
to another user, be sure this document is kept with the laser.
Non-Interlocked
Housing Warning
•This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
•Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation.
•The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness, skin
burns, and fires.
Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not
set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than
any other kind
of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still
injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light
at
long distances are are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT
assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off
from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3
B
levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual
Class 3R
level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk
. Since eye
injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY
direct eye exposure.
According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where
people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at
a dance
floor.
