LASER SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light
from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light
source. This concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by
burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot
feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience.
Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances.
Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink.
It is incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products split the laser into
hundreds of beams or laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser
beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatt of laser power
(Class 3B levels internally). Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the
eyes.
It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true.
Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to
prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not
legal to aim Class 3B lasers in areas which people can get exposed. This is true even if it is
aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.
zDo not operate laser without first reading and understanding all safety and
technical data in this manual
zAlways set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3
meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See “Proper
Laser Set-up & Usage” section later in this manual
zAfter set up, and prior to public use test laser to ensure proper function. Do
not use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two
laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to
the diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels.

zDo not point lasers at people or animals
zNever look into the laser aperture or laser beams
zDo not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed,
such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
zDo not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors
and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
zNever point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense
zNever point un-terminated laser beams into the sky
zDo not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals
zDo not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams
zDo not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged
in any way.
zNever open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the
protective housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.
zNever leave this device running unattended.
zThe operation of a class 3B laser show laser is only allowed if the show is
controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the data
included in this manual.
zThe legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from
country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the
location/country of use.
zAlways use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and
effects overhead

Building a serial DMX-chain
zIf you are using the standard DMX-controllers, you can connect the
DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in
the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
zConnect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the
DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect output with the input of the
next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
zIf you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3
pins adepter.
zAt last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder
a 120 Ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3
pins XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
zConnect the fixture together in a daisy chain by XLR plug cable from the
output of the fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be
branched or split to a Y cable. DMX 512 is a very high speed signal.
Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
zThe DXM output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the
DMX circuit, when power is disconnected to the unit.
zEach fixture needs to have a DMX address to receive the data from the
controller. The DMX address number which could be read from rear panel of
each fixture is between 000~511.
zThe end of the DMX 512 chain should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
