Setup Precautions
Follow all safety protocols and procedures
before operating any machinery. It is the
responsibility of the operator to ensure all safety
precautions are correctly followed and the
machine is properly assembled and in working
order.
Eye and Lung Safety
The Muse Galvo Laser has an overall rating of Class 4. Class 4 lasers have the capability to damage eyes,
burn skin, and start fires. Safety goggles must be worn when in operation.
Follow these Safety Guidelines at all times:
Electronic Safety
The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, Z136.12000, developed by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is the basis for many of the federal regulations for laser
and laser system manufacturers, and for theOccupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser safety
guidelines. It contains detailed information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems. While the ANSI
standard itself does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training, and the
designation of a laser safety officer, may be compulsory under local workplace regulations when operating laser systems
above Class I. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the installation and operation of the Full Spectrum Laser
Hobby Laser System is performed in accordance with all applicable laws. Copies of ANSI Standard Z136.12000 are
available from: LASER INSTITUTE OF AMERICA 12424 RESEARCH PARKWAY, SUITE 125 ORLANDO, FL 32826 (407)

Section I. Safety
4

Fire Safety
Laser cutting and engraving systems can present a significant fire hazard due to the extremely
high temperatures generated by the laser beam. While the objective of most cutting and engraving
operations is to vaporize material without burning, most materials capable of being cut or engraved are
inherently combustible and can ignite. Usually this is a small flame of burning material issuing from the
cut zone which self-extinguishes due to the air assist or depowering of the beam. However, it is possible
for the flame to propagate and set fire to the machine and its surroundings.

Section II. Assembly
& Connectivity
Assembling your UV Galvo
1. To assemble your new UV Galvo you will need these items.
Note: Tool Not Provided!
2. Use the 8 x 16 screws to fasten the base to the stage. (See Fig.1)
3. The next step will require these items.
4. The mounting plate will be attached to the side of the stage.The flag spacer and the sensor flag
are attached with the flag pointing upward.(See Fig.2)
5. Place the source onto the mount and secure using the 6 x 20 screws.

6. The wire loom has 2 wires that will connect to the 2 ports found behind the source.(see Fig. 4)
Fig. 4
7.Secure the connection using a phillips screwdriver.
8. The last wire on the loom will connect to the port under the scan head.
Fig. 5
9. Next, we will connect the camera using the Type-C cord provided.
Fig. 6
10. In order to connect some cable to the laser we need to remove the cover head use the 2.5mm hex
key.(see Fig. 7)
Fig. 7 Fig.8 Fig. 9
11. Attach the motor wire to the motor.(see Fig. 8) & The sensory wire to the white wire(see Fig.9).
12. Replace the coverhead.

Machine Connection
The UV Galvo software is browser-based, meaning no download is required. RetinaEngrave v3.0 (RE3) is
locally hosted on the machine’s internal computer so it will function even without an internet connection. Using
any computer, only an internet browser (such as Google Chrome) is needed to access RE3. The easiest method
is to connect the Ethernet Cable that came with your Muse Galvo.
Connect Via Router (Recommended):
Connecting your Galvo to the router is the most reliable way to establish a link to RE3.
1. The Titan came with an ethernet cable.(See Fig. 10)
Fig. 10 Fig. 11
2. Connect the cable to the ethernet ports on both devices(see Fig. 11).
Note: Ethernet port looks the same on all devices
Connect to Wi-Fi:
1. Your machine should come with a device attached to the usb port. This device enables your machine to
connect to the wifi. Make sure that it is there and connected.
Fig. 12
2. Select the Network button on the top right of the touch screen.
Fig. 13
3. Select wifi and look for your network. Select it and enter password.
Connect Directly to Computer:
Connecting the UV Galvo and the computer should only be done if the previous two options are
not possible.
Note: The location of the ethernet port varies on computer modes.

Connect to the Software
RetinaEngrave v3.0 is a combination of a print driver and control software that communicates with,
downloads jobs to, and controls the laser system. There is no download required for RetinaEngrave
v3.0. With a local connection (achievable with Wi-Fi or the included Ethernet cable) your Galvo will link
with the software’s IP address
1. Turn On UV Galvo: Allow 30 seconds or so for the machine and touch screen to boot up.
2. Locate the IP Address in the blue line under the Home icon. Alternatively, you can find the IP
Address of the machine by tapping Tools -> About. The address will be listed there. This IP
Address is of the network you connected the machine to. Wireless and Wired connections will
have different IP Addresses.
Fig. 14 Fig. 15
3. Type IP Into Browser(Google Chrome is recommended). This will link you to the RetinaEngrave
v3.0 (RE3) interface. You now have full access to the software. There is no need to install or
download anything. You must, however, keep a local connection, either through Wi-Fi or the
Ethernet cable.
Using QR Code:
Another method is to use the QR code which is visible in the Home and About sections.
1.Take a picture of the QR code with your camera or use a QR code reader.
2. A link will appear that can be selected.
