has classified as harmless. You can find an
up-to-date list of materials at mr-beam.org
Never process PVC, Vinyl, ABS, coated carbon
fiber, fiberglass or other materials containing
chlorine!
Processing these materials with your Mr Beam
will produce extremely toxic vapours, which can
cause machine damage and health hazard.
Before using your Mr Beam, please read and
understand the user manual and the safety
instructions.
You can find the latest manual and safety
instructions in the menu of your Mr Beam user
interface and on mr-beam.org

the bracket on both sides.
To connect and disconnect the laser head, Mr
Beam must be disconnected from the power
supply system!
To adjust the laser focus to different material
heights, the base plate can be mounted at
different heights. You can make fine adjust-
ments using the knurled screw and the slotted
hole in the base plate.

Fix the hose carefully and prevent the waste air
from entering the room.
Screw the elbow to the end of the hose
(left-hand thread).
Connect the Mr Beam Air Filter System or
suction fan to your Mr Beam.
Screw the contra-angle incl. hose to the
housing using the knurled screws.

Connection options with Mr Beam
There are three options to connect Mr Beam to your computer or tablet. Choosing the most
appropriate option depends on your personal usage preference and the network available at
the location Mr Beam is set up in.
Please choose one of the following connection options and proceed with the installation in the
section “Status Lights“ on the next page.
STARTING UP
Option A: Connection via Wi-Fi
Connect your computer directly to the Wi-Fi Access Point of your Mr Beam. This is the easiest
connection option. No internet access or network infrastructure is required. You may not be
able to use the Internet on your computer while you are connected to Mr Beam. See page 11.
Option B: Connection via network cable (Ethernet) and router
Connect Mr Beam to the network router using a cable. Then, use the find.mr-beam service to
create a connection to your Mr Beam.
This option is particularly stable due to the cable connection. An internet connection is
necessary for the use of the find.mr-beam service. See page 12.
Option C: Connection via Wi-Fi and router:
Connect your Mr Beam to your network via Wi-Fi. To do this, connect Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi
using the Wi-Fi-name and password. For initial setup, you need to connect via Option A or B
first. The initial setup may be a little complicated, but in the long term, this is the most com-
fortable option that many users prefer. See page 13.

Status Lights
Whether it is your first time setting up your Mr Beam or whether you have been connected to
it many times, the Mr Beam Status Lights show you how you can connect to Mr Beam at the
moment. For that, the status lights “breathe“ (pulsate up and down) in different colors.
STARTING UP
In all cases, you will find further information in our online Knowledge Base at
www.mr-beam.org/docs/lights

Welcome Dialog
OPTION C: WI-FI AND ROUTER
For initial setup, you need to first connect
through either option A or B to get to the
Welcome Dialog, where you can set up your
Wi-Fi connection.
If you select Option A, connect your compu-
ter directly to the Wi-Fi Access Point of your
Mr Beam. Afterwards enter the IP address
10.250.250.1 in your Google Chrome browser.
This process is described in detail on page 11.
If you have a cable, select Option B to connect
Mr Beam to your router with the cable. Now use
the find.mr-beam service to connect to your Mr
Beam for the first time. This process is
described in detail on page 12.
Independently of the chosen option, Mr Beam
will greet you with the Welcome Dialog. During
the Welcome Dialog, you have the option of
connecting your Mr Beam to your Wi-Fi. Click
the Connect button that appears next to your
Wi-Fi network name and then enter your Wi-Fi
password.
Tip: A similar process is performed when regis-
tering a new smartphone in your Wi-Fi.
Connect your Mr Beam to your network via Wi-Fi.

14
OPTION C: WI-FI AND ROUTER
If you have selected the Option A for initial setup and are connected to the Mr Beam Access
Point via Wi-Fi, Mr Beam will interrupt the Wi-Fi connection to your computer to connect to
your wireless router. If successful, your Mr Beam will soon pulsate with orange lights and you
can connect to the find.mrbeam service.
Caution: If this fails, e.g. because you entered an incorrect password, you will not receive an
error message because you are no longer connected to your Mr Beam. In this case, you have
to repeat the connection process of the Option A from the beginning.
If you have selected the Option B using a cable for initial setup, Mr Beam will tell you if the
connection to your router was successful or not. If successful, you can now disconnect the
network cable, use the Wi-Fi connection and use the find.mr-beam service.
If you notice a slow connection while operating your Mr Beam, e.g. If the pictures of the
camera do not load or load slowly, this is probably due to a poor Wi-Fi connection. In this case,
try option B (network cable and router).

CONNECTION TO MR BEAM - WHITE PULSING
Mr Beam is connected to a network either via network cable or by Wi-Fi. However, it can not
connect to the find.mr-beam service, e.g. because there is no internet connection.
The connection options in this case depend on your computer operating system and your net-
work configuration.
We recommend to visit our Knowledge Base to find detailed instructions for this case. (See QR
Code below).
Tip: A color pattern of green and white pulsing light appears when your Mr Beam Wi-Fi
Access Point is active, your Mr Beam is connected by cable to the network router, and the
find.mr-beam service is not available. In this case, we recommend connecting directly to the
Wi-Fi Access Point. See page 11.
If your Mr Beam is breathing white, you have
several options to access your Mr Beam.

10mm
You need to focus the laserhead to achieve the best result
with your Mr Beam.
Because the laser light conically leaves the laser head,
there is one point at which it is focused maximally, the
Focus point. At this point, your Mr Beam has the maxi-
mum performance and highest precision. Therefore, the
Focus point should be positioned exactly on the material
and needs to be manually adjusted to the material height.
For this adjustment, the distance between the bottom
edge of the laser head and the top edge of the material
has to be 10mm. Use the Mr Beam Focus Tool for this.
Step 3:
Place the focus tool on the material and the
cross under the laser head.
Step 2:
Loosen the screw on the left side of the laser
head to move it up and down.
MR BEAM FOCUSING
Step 1:
Move the laser head over the material by double
clicking on the working area on your computer.

Step 4:
Move the laser head down until it touches the
cross of the focus tool.
Step 5:
Moderately tighten the screw again and remove
the focus tool.
Coarse focusing
For coarse focusing, the laser head can be
mounted at different positions.
To connect and disconnect the ribbon cable,
Mr Beam must be disconnected from the
power supply!
First remove the laser head by using the knur-
led screw and put it aside carefully. It is not
necessarily needed to disconnect the ribbon
cable. To mount and unmount the base plate,
slightly press the dolly together. Unhook the
top of the base plate first, then the bottom. To
reassemble in a different height, proceed in
reverse order.
