Foreword
You have decided to buy a SimPleX show laser system.
We want to thank you for showing trust in us.
The SimPleX system is characterised by simple operation and comfortable application.
This manual should help to simplify working with this system. It also allows unpractised persons to
understand all functions easier.
Before you put the system into operation for the first time, please read the topics “laser safety” and
“starting”.
Our laser systems are equipped with high sensitive electronics and mechanics. Please pay attention
during transport to the security of your device. Strong shocks can cause significant damage to the
system. Furthermore, the lasersystem must be regulary maintained to guarantee an error-free
operation.
CAUTION!
Should an error occur due to improper handling or maintenance, there is no warranty.
We wish you much pleasure with your new laser system.
Yours LPS-Lasersysteme

1. Starting
1.1 Areas of use
This device is designed for professional use, for example on stages, in discotheques,
theatres etc.
This laser must only be used for shows. The operation of a class 4 show laser is only allowed if it is
controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator.
Teenagers older than 16 years can only be employed in laser areas if necessary for
completing their job training and if their protection is guaranteed by a skilled person.
This device is designed for mobile use and for permanent installations.
Laser effects are not designed for permanent operation. Regular operation breaks will ensure that
the device will work for a long time without defects.
1.2 lectric Connection
This product is approved to be operated only with an alternate current of 100 - 40 V. Notice the
manufacture settings!
1.3 Installation
It is required to mount the device only with the mounting bail or an fixed base. In order to guarantee
sufficient ventilation, leave 50 cm free space minimum around the device.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing
the fixture.
1.4 Operation
For a safe operation, the laser products must be equipped with all protective measures required for
their classification and use.
Operate the device only when familiar with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
Beachten Sie bitte, dass eigenmächtige Veränderungen an dem Gerät aus Sicherheits- gründen
verboten sind.

If the device is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may
suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to
dangers like short circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.
1.5 Unpack and Connect
Check the content of the package of its completeness.
The following parts are included:
-Laser system
-Manual
-Power plug (1 piece)
-Key for laser system
-Emergency strapping plug
-SD Card
Please read the chapter „Laser Safety“ precisely and conscientiously before you connect the system.
The system is working from 100 V to 40 VAC. Make sure that the current entry is provided.
Connecting the system is rather simple:
-Connect the D/A converter and laser system with the data cable
-Plug in the power supply of the laser system and the D/A converter (power plug).
-Make sure that the show laser system is mounted stable an cannot fall down.
Important note
By reasons of the laser- and operating safety, the current supply of the system has to be
lockable by an Emergency-OFF-Button. To operate without an Emergency-OFF-Button IS
NOT ALLOWED. There are already prepared connections for the Emergency-OFF-Button
inside the switch box of LPS-Lasersysteme.
Please note in the attachment the circuit diagram for the voltage supply in combination
with the Emergency-OFF-Button.

2. Laser Safety
2.1 Legal notes
Despite all fascination of the “Magic Light”, it may not be forgotten that a laser involves
certain dangers. On these pages you will find out how it is possible, in spite of many
regulations, to produce a fascinating laser show without dangers for you and your guests.
2.1.1 Laser Classification
The government recommended safety practices for a given laser system which depend on its
classification. The following highlights the criteria that are used to classify lasers, as well as the key
safety considerations when operating a system with the indicated classification. The reader is
directed to the "Code of Federal Regulations" for a comprehensive discussion of
these safety topics.

Classification Criteria:
Class 1 all wavelengths safe for the human eye
Class 1 30 ,5 nm – 400 nm
safe for the human eye if no optical
instruments are used; not safe if optical
instruments are used
Class 2 400 nm – 700 nm, up to 0, 5 s
safe for the human eye because of
aversion response and eyelid closure
reflex;
not safe if optical instruments are used
Class 2 400 nm – 700 nm, 0, 5 s
eyelid closure reflex; depending on
whether it
is a divergent or flared beam, it might be
unsafe with optical instruments
Class 3R
400 nm – 700 nm, 0, 5 s
30 ,5 nm – 400 nm
700 nm – 10 nm, 100 s
exceeds the maximum tolerable
radiation; radiation is max. five times
higher than the limit for accessible
radiation of Class 1 (respectively
Class ); dangerous for the human eye
Class 3B all wavelengths
laser facilities of power up to 0,5 W
dangerous for the human eye and in
certain cases for the skin
Class 4
all wavelengths
laser facilities of power more than
0,5 W
very dangerous for the human eye and
dangerous for the skin; additionally there
is the danger of combustion

For the class 4 lasers (more than 0.5 W) which we mostly use, following points are to be considered
and avoided:
1. Danger to the eye
A human‘s most sensitive organ is the eye. A laser beam is coherent light with very high energy.
A laser beam keeps its intensity even on a large distance. If a laser beam hits a human eye, it
could lead to irreparable damages, the retina could be destroyed.
Therefore the following has to be considered:
Never look into a laser beam directly, and do not place any objects in the beam, because even
diffusely reflected beams will cause eye damage. Never point the laser beam at a person’s eyes.
2. Danger of skin damages
If a laser beam hits the human skin, it will cause painful burns due to its high energy density. The
beam also burns holes into textiles. Therefore never put your hands in the laser beam and do
not intercept the beam with any other part of your body.
3. Danger due to perilous High Voltage
Laser systems use fatally high voltages. When operating your laser system, always observe the
warning notes on the laser and the instructions concerning laser safety in the manual of your
laser. ake sure that no unauthorized persons have access to your laser system.
4. Danger of fire damages
If a laser beam hits easily inflammable material, for instance paper, this will ignite and may
suddenly cause a fire. Therefore you should always make sure that there is no inflammable
material in the path of the beam before turning the laser on. Moreover, check regularly your air
cooling system on the laser. Ecpecially the filters and fans should be checked in their functions,
so that defects due to over temperatures could be exclude.
The use of a laser can only be regarded as harmless if the main beam is sufficiently weakened,
expanded, divided or moved very fast.
In this case it will meet the eye only briefly and the values for the maximum permissible irradiation
are not exceeded (this depends on the wavelength, irradiation time and the repetition frequency
on pulse rates).
