What is a laser and how does it work?
What is a LASER?
The laser is a bunch of energy waves (streams of photons called radiation) with the same
amplitude and faze that are flowing in the same direction; meaning they are coherent –they
stick together and form a laser beam.
The width of a single wave is measured in nano-meters and defines the colour and visibility of the
laser beam. The visible spectrum of the human eye is roughly between 400nm and 700nm, going
from violet to a dark red colour. A human eye is most sensitive to a green light of around 555nm,
meaning that a 1W of green laser will always appear more visible than 1W of any other colour
laser. 1W of quality laser light is very powerful and although it doesn’t sound like much it can
burn eye retinas, skin and clothes or even start a fire!
What makes the laser visible?
Mainly it is the particles of dust in the air that the laser beam hits on its path. That’s why we
“laserists” use haze or smoke machines to make lasers more visible. Too much of the haze or
smoke will kill it, but the right amount will make all the difference between no show and a
great show.When outdoors, lasers mainly reflect off dust and mist in the air but due to
unpredictable wind conditions we can never make sure the hazers or smoke machines will be
effective enough. And that ’s why we use high power lasers for outdoor shows –to
substitute for the lack of dust, haze and smoke.
How far does it go?
Depending on the power output of the system and weather conditions, the laser can be visible
for miles –that is why we need to be cautious about aircrafts when performing outdoor shows.
And if you get a system that is powerful enough then yes, it can reach the Moon.
Colours
Standard full colour analogue lasers use three primary colours: Red, Green and Blue. By
mixing those together you can pretty much get any secondary colour:
Of course the number and precision of the colours is determined by the modulation, stability and
linearity of the system. If the system is not stable enough, it will produce different colours every
time it is used,making it virtually impossible to match the colours of two systems at any one time.
This is very often the case with systems from far east manufacturers and with re-branded lasers
that are being presented as European makes.
Scanning System
A scanning system is essentially two tiny mirrors, each moving on X or Y axis. By working
together they can “scan” the laser beam in all directions. Once a shape is scanned more than
20 times per second, it appears static to the human eye. So any shape drawn by a laser is
actually produced by one single laser beam running around like crazy. Every scanning system
has a mechanical limit of how fast it can move its mirrors and therefore how many points it
can display at any one second and that is usually represented in Points Per Second at a certain
scanning angle, i.e. 8 degrees.

第5页
!Any laser system classified as a Class 4 laser must be used with caution. If you are not
an experienced laser operator we would strongly recommend that you attend a laser
display safety course as soon as possible, and ideally before this laser system is used in
pubic areas. There are various places in Europe where you can attend quality training
and even a one day course will give you a good amount of valuable information to safely
start with.
!Before proceeding any further, please read the following safety page very carefully. It
could help you avoid dangerous and hazardous situations which could lead to serious
injury or property damage.
Laser Safety First!
Unless you are very competent with the use of lasers and about the laser safety, make sure
you follow these basic laser safety rules:
1: Never look directly into a laser beam.
2: Never look directly into laser aperture if the laser system is switched on.
3: Be aware that lasers can burn the eye retina, skin or cause fires if not used correctly.
4: Never perform Audience Scanning – that’s when laser beams and effects hit an audience
directly. Always project with the laser above audience head level – at least 3m above floor
level.
5: When performing outdoors, avoid pointing the laser at aircrafts, buses, trains, etc.
6: Never leave the laser system unattended when it’s switched on.
7: Always check for reflective surfaces within the laser range – these can be very dangerous
(i.e. mirror behind the bar in a club could bounce the beam into bar attendant’s eye).
8: Never hesitate to use the Emergency STOP if you think there’s a fault within the laser
system or a potential danger to a person/object caused by the laser performance.

第6页
Installation of the System
Please follow these rules during the installation:
1: Do not connect the device to power supply during the installation.
2: Mount the system only to mounting point that is strong, secure and away from places
where non-authorised person could get an access to.
3:Always make sure the system is properly tighten down and that it cannot get loose and
move as a result of sound vibrations, cable pull or similar.
4: Always use a safety rope.
5: Ensure that all the cables have enough leverage just in case they get caught.
6: Ensure that the system is placed at least 20cm away from walls or any other objects
including drapes etc.
7: Ensure that the system is placed well away from any heat sources including spotlights,
moving heads, radiators, etc. Make sure there is a sufficient air-flow around the laser system.
8: It is essential that the fan openings are never covered during the laser operation.
9: Always follow the Laser Safety Regulations of respective country where the laser is being
used.
Control System
The overall performance of any our laser system is also dependent on the control system that
you use for operating the laser as well as the correct device configuration in the laser control
software.There are many laser control options on the market but we mainly recommend
control systems from these two manufacturers:
Pangolin Laser Systems
Showtacle
!The manufacturer is not liable for damages or a injury caused by improper installation
of the system.
The installation should be carried by a qualified installer who should follow the Laser
Safety Regulations of respective country.

Scanning System
The product warranty does not cover the damages to the scanning system caused by improper
use of the scanning system or by incorrect programming. Therefore it is essential to
understand how the scanning works and where are the limits of it. In this manual we will
explain only the basics of it but it is the responsibility of every user to educate themselves so
they can avoid damage being caused to the scanning system and costly repairs.
A laser beam comes from a laser module and hits the two moving mirrors of the scanning
system. These mirrors are mounted on the scanner shafts and are moved by the scanner rotors,
one on X and one on Y axis.
An effect such as tunnel (circle) is displayed by a repetitive mechanical movement of the scanners.
For each scanning system and effect, there’s a maximal scan rate that is defined by mechanical
load, scanner mirror size and weight, complexity of displayed picture and size of the projection
(an angle under the laser beam is being projected). A different scanning systems have different
scan- rate limits. It is essential to operate the scanning system at scan-rates within its maximal
limit at all times to prevent it from overload damage.
How to establish correct Scan-rate and maximal number of points in an effect
Each effect (picture) contains a different number of graphical points which defines the actual
shape of the effect. The more points an effect contains, the lower the maximum scan rate will be
in relation to the scanning angle.
As an example we ’ll work with the star effect shown below and with the parameters of
quality scanning system:
Let ’s say the star effect is made of 300 graphical points (including non-visible blanking
points) and we know that the maximal scan-rate of our scanning system is 35kpps @ 8
degrees (= 35.000 points per second at 8 degrees projection angle). We also know that we
display the star 35 times per second which is a default frame rate of the control software we
are using.

第8页
So we need to display 300 points 35 times per second = 10.500 pps. This means that we could
display 3of these stars beside each other within one single laser effect and that it would be
quite close to the scanner limit (3 ×10.500 = 31.500pps). This however applies than 8
degrees on both axes! If we start to increase the size of the projection (scanning angle) it is
necessary to either lower the number of points within the effect or drop down the scan-rate in
the control software (FPS) to a safe level –which may result in flicker.
From the example above we can also determine how many points this scanning system is able
to project if the scanning angle is not more than 8 degrees:
35.000 points / 35 Frames Per Second = 1.000 pps. This is the absolute maximum of how
many points we should be using when programming an effect if the scanning angle is not
more than 8 degrees.
In the following pictures you see the same star effect scanned at different scan rates at full
scanning angle (60 degrees).
Picture 1: the scan rate and/or number of points is too low. The corner points are more visible
than the lines between them and the whole effect flickers. The scan-rate and/or number of
points needs to be increased.
Picture 2: the scan-rate and/or number of points is about right. The whole effect has more or less
the same intensity and does not flicker.
Picture 3: further increasing of the scan-rate and/or number of points results in the effect
starting to distort, firstly around corners only. This indicates that you are exceeding the maximal
scan rate of the scanning system! If you operate the scanning system at scan-rates higher than
the maximum scan-rate of the scanning system the scanners will get damaged irreversibly due to
overheated coils damaging rotor magnets.

Maintenance
To prolong the life of the product, it is very important to do maintenance work.
The environment is hash outdoors, or if the product is idle for a long time, damp,
smoke or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt
on its cover and housing. So it should be cleaned to maintain an optimum light
output and at the same time to prevent it from corrupted by acid gas.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates. Soft cloth and typical glass cleaning products should be used for
cleaning. It is recommended to clean product at least once every 20 days.
Friendly notice: Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol to clean housing
of the apparatus.
