tion must be stopped immediately.
• The manufacturer and its distributors cannotbe
held responsible for any damages caused by
improper use or misuse of this laser system.The
owner/user is fully responsible for using this
product in accordance to laser safety regula-
tions of the country or state where the system
is being used.
• Please note that some other optical devices
such as cameras, camcorders, video projector
etc. can be damaged if exposed to excessive
laser radiation.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• This laser system is a precision device that
contains some sensitive opto-electronics
components. DO NOT drop it or subject it to
physical shock.
• This laser system is not waterproof or dust-
proof. Make sure to use an appropriate cover
or enclosure if it is used in the rain, snow or
similar severe environment conditions.
• Do not leave the laser system in excessive
heat such as in a car whilst in direct sunlight.
High temperatures could cause some serious
damage to the system.
• The laser system contains precision electronic
circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the
laser yourself.
• If the laser is suddenly brought in from the
cold into a warm room, condensation may
form on the laser and internal parts. If con-
densation forms on the laser body, do not use
the laser as this may damage the laser system.
If there is condensation, wait until it has evap-
orated before using it.
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 owing 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 anddenes 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,skinandclothes or
even start a re.
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 “laser-
ists” 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 dierence
between no show and a great show.When outdoors,
lasers mainly reect o dust and mist in the air but
due to unpredictable wind conditions we can never
make sure the hazers or smoke machines will be
eective enough. And that’s why we use high power
lasers for outdoor shows – to substitutefor 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 formiles
–that is why we need to be cautious about air cras
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 pri-
mary colours: Red, Green and Blue. By mixing those
together you can pretty much get any secondary
colour:
• Red + Blue: Magenta
• Red + Green: Yellow
• Green + Blue: Cyan
• Red + Green + Blue: White
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 dierent colours every
time it is used, making it virtually impossible to
match the colours of two systems at any one time.
This is very oen 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 actuallyproduced 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 sec-
ondand that is usually represented in Points Per
Second at a certain scanning angle, i.e.8 degrees.

• 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.
• Any laser system classied 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 startwith.
Unless you are very competent with the use of
lasers and about the laser safety, make sure you
follow thesebasic laser safety rules:
1. Never look directly in to a laser beam.
2. Never look directly in to laser aperture if the

laser system is switched on.
3. Be aware that lasers can burn the eye retina,
skin or cause res if not used correctly.
4. Never perform Audience Scanning – that’s
when laser beams and eects hit an audience
directly. Always project with the laser above
audience head level – at least 3m above oor
level.
5. When performing outdoors, avoid pointing
the laser at aircras, buses, trains, etc.
6. Never leave the laser system unattended
when it’s switched on.
7. Always check for reective surfaces within the
laser range – these can be very dangerous (i.e.
mirror behind the bar in a club could bounce
the beam in to bar attendant’s eye).
8. Never hesitate to use the Emergency STOP if
you think there’s a fault within the laser sys-
tem or a potential danger to a person/object
caused by the laser performance.
2. Mount the system only to mounting point that
is strong, secure and away from places where
non-authorised person could get an accessto.
3. Always make sure the system is properly

An eect such as tunnel (circle) is displayed by a
repetitive mechanical movement of the scanners.
For each scanning system and eect, there’s a
maximal scan rate that is dened 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
dierent scanning systems have dierent 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 over load damage.
How to establish correct Scan-rate and maximal
number of points in an eect
Each eect (picture) contains a dierent number of
graphical points which denes the actual shape of
the eect. The more points an eect contains, the
lower the maximum scan rate will be in relation to
the scanning angle.
As an example we’ll work with the star eect shown
below and with the parameters of quality scanning
system: Let’s say the star eect 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 soware we areusing.
So we need to display 300 points 35 times per sec-
ond = 10.500pps. This means that we could display
3 of these stars beside each other within one single
laser eect 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 eect or drop down the scan-rate in the
control soware (FPS) to a safe level – which may
result in icker.
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 program-
ming an eect if the scanning angle is not more-
than 8 degrees.
In the following pictures you see the same star
eect scanned at dierent scan rates at full scan-
ning 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 eect ick-
ers. The scan-rate and/or number of points needs
to be increased.
Picture2: The scan-rate and/or number of points
is about right.The whole eect has more or less
the same intensity and does not icker.
Picture3: Further increasing of the scan-rate and/
or number of points results in the eect starting
to distort, rstly around corners only. This indi-
cates 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 over
heated coils damaging rotor magnets.

3. PRECAUCIONES
4. ¿QUÉ ES UN LÁSER?
• Este sistema de entretenimiento láser ha sido
clasicado como clase IV y fabricado conforme
a la normativa EN 60825-1:2007. Evite el con-
tacto directo o parcial del láser con los ojos y la
piel. Utilice gafas de protección con la densidad
óptica adecuada de ser necesario.
• Si utilizar el láser podría provocar lesiones
personales o daños físicos, interrumpa su uso
de inmediato.
• Lea atentamente el manual antes de utilizar el
equipo y procure seguir las instrucciones, dado
que la garantía no cubre daños provocados por
el uso inapropiado de este producto. El usuario
es enteramente responsable por el uso correcto
de este producto de acuerdo con las regula-
ciones de seguridad locales.
• Los dispositivos ópticos (cámaras, videograba-
doras, proyectores, etc) pueden sufrir daños si
son expuestos a excesiva radiación láser.
• Precauciones de manipulación
• Este sistema de láser es un dispositivo de alta
precisión que contiene componentes opto-
electrónicos sensibles. No sacuda ni deje caer
la unidad.
• El sistema láser no es a prueba de agua o
polvo. Procure utilizar una cobertura o tapa
adecuada si la unidad quedará expuesta a la
lluvia, nieve o condiciones climáticas severas.
• La unidad no debe ser expuesta al calor ex-
tremo o la luz directa del sol. Las altas tem-
peraturas pueden causar daños severos en la
unidad.
• El sistema láser cuenta con circuitos electróni-
cos de alta precisión. No intente repararlo por
sus propios medios.
• Los cambios de temperatura (de frío a calor)
pueden causar condensación en el láser o sus
partes internas. En caso de que esto suceda,
procure no utilizar la unidad para evitar daños
en el sistema. Aguarde a que la condensación
desaparezca para ponerla en marcha.
Un láser es una serie de ondas energéticas (ujo de
fotones conocido como radiación) de la misma am-
plitud y fase que siguen la misma dirección, lo cual
implica que son coherentes: permanecen unidos y
forman un rayo láser.
La amplitud de una onda se mide en nanómetros y
dene el color y visibilidad del rayo láser. El espec-
tro visible del ojo humano se encuentra entre 400
nm y 700 nm, y va del violeta al rojo oscuro. El ojo
humano es aproximadamente 555 nm más sensible
a la luz verde, por lo cual 1W de láser verde siem-
pre será más visible que un 1W de cualquier otro
color. Un láser de calidad de 1W es muy potente
y aunque pueda parecer poco, puede quemar la
retina, piel, ropa y hasta iniciar un incendio.
¿Qué hace visible al láser?
Principalmente, las partículas de polvo en el aire
que el rayo láser encuentra en su camino. Por
este motivo, los operadores de láseres utilizan
Versión Español

P. 1 9
- Neo Torch 4000
máquinas de humo o niebla para que el rayo se vea
mejor. Demasiado humo o niebla lo cubrirán, pero
la cantidad justa marcará la diferencia entre un
espectáculo común y corriente y uno sorprendente.
Al aire libre, los láseres suelen reejarse en el polvo
y el rocío, pero debido a las condiciones imprede-
cibles del viento, no es posible garantizar que las
máquinas de humo o niebla serán completamente
efectivas. Es por eso que se utilizan láseres muy
potentes para espectáculos al aire libre, para poder
compensar la falta de polvo, niebla y humo.
¿Qué distancia puede alcanzar?
Según la potencia de salida del sistema y las
condiciones climáticas, el láser puede ser visible a
kilómetros. Por eso mismo, se debe ser cauteloso
con los aviones en los espectáculos al aire libre. Y
con un sistema lo sucientemente potente, sí, el

Los láseres estándar análogos a todo color utilizan
tres colores primarios: rojo, verde y azul. La combi-
nación de estos colores permite obtener práctica-
mente cualquier color secundario:
• Rojo + Azul: Magenta
• Rojo + Verde: Amarillo
• Verde + Azul: Cian
• Rojo + Verde + Azul: Blanco
La variedad y precisión de los colores depende de
la modulación, estabilidad y linealidad del siste-
ma. Si el sistema no cuenta con la estabilidad su-
ciente, no producirá los mismos colores cada vez
que se lo utilice y será virtualmente imposible que
los colores de dos sistemas coincidan. Esto suele
suceder con los sistemas de distribuidores de
extremo oriente o con aquellas imitaciones que se
distribuyen como marcas europeas.
SISTEMA DE ESCANEO
Un sistema de escaneo consiste básicamente de
dos espejos pequeños. Uno se mueve sobre el eje
X, y el otro sobre el eje Y. Al trabajar en conjun-
to pueden “escanear” el rayo láser en todas las
direcciones. Cuando una forma se escanea más
de 20 veces por segundo, el ojo humano la perci-
be como una imagen estática. Todas las formas
creadas por un láser son generadas por un rayo
láser único que se mueve a gran velocidad. Cada
sistema de escaneo tiene un límite mecánico
para determinar la velocidad a la que mueve sus
espejos, es decir la cantidad de puntos que puede
producir, y se mide en Puntos Por Segundo en
cierto ángulo de escaneo. Por ejemplo, 8 grados.

• Antes de continuar, procure leer atentamente
las siguientes pautas de seguridad. Evite las
situaciones que puedan causar lesiones per-
sonales o daños físicos.
• Cualquier láser de clase 4 debe utilizarse con
precaución. Si no es un operador profesional,
se recomienda que asista a un curso de segu-
ridad antes de utilizar el sistema en zonas pú-
blicas. Existen diversas instituciones en Europa
que brindan capacitaciones e incluso cursos de
un día para obtener la información de seguri-
dad necesaria para operar el sistema.
Por su seguridad, siga estas reglas básicas:
1. Nunca mire en forma directa al rayo láser.
2. Nunca mire en forma directa a la salida del
láser.
3. Los láseres pueden quemar la retina, la piel
y hasta iniciar un incendio si no se los utiliza
• El fabricante no se responsabilizará por los
daños causados por la instalación inapropiada
de este producto. La instalación del equipo
debe ser realizada por un profesional certica-
do que conozca y aplique las regulaciones de
seguridad locales.
Para proceder con la instalación, siga los pasos a
continuación:
1. No conecte la unidad al suministro eléctrico
durante la instalación.
correctamente.
4. Nunca realice escaneos de audiencia, es decir
dirigir el rayo láser directamente hacia la
audiencia. Procure que la trayectoria del láser
vaya por encima de la cabeza de la audiencia,
alrededor de 3 m sobre el nivel del suelo.
5. En los espectáculos al aire libre, nunca dirija
la trayectoria del láser hacia aviones, ómni-
bus, trenes, etc.
6. No deje el sistema de láser sin supervisión.
7. Verique que no haya supercies reectantes
alrededor del láser, ya que podría ser peligro-
so (por ejemplo, un espejo detrás de la barra
de una discoteca haría rebotar el láser sobre
una persona).
8. No dude en utilizar el botón de parada de
emergencia si detecta una falla en el láser
o una situación de riesgo que podría causar
daños en personas u objetos.
2. La estructura en la que se je el sistema debe
ser sólida, segura y debe estar alejada de
personal no autorizado o ajeno al funcionami-
ento del láser.
3. Verique que el sistema se encuentre rme-
mente sujetado a la estructura para evitar
que se deslice o mueva como resultado de
vibraciones sonoras o tirones del cable.
4. Siempre utilice un cable de seguridad.
5. Procure que los cables tengan la extensión
suciente en caso de que se enreden.
