Laser safety requirements are based on DIN EN 60825-1:2015. The corresponding accident pre‐
vention regulation of the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association in Germany is BGV-
B2.
This device contains a class-3B laser. It comes equipped with a safety key and a jack for con‐
necting an external safety switch. Always remove the key when the device is not attended by a
trained operator.
As an operator you are responsible for the safety of all persons present. Familiarize yourself
with the laser safety regulations that apply in your country. To ensure safe operation, it is
important to pay attention to the following instructions.
Prior to commissioning, the company/operator must appoint a qualied person as laser pro‐
tection ocer in writing and notify the operation of the laser equipment to the Accident Pre‐
vention and Insurance Association and to the authority responsible for occupational safety. In
the event of public use, the complete laser equipment must be approved by an expert prior to
commissioning.

the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.
DANGER!
Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam
The device contains a class-3B laser, classied according to EN 60825-1:2015. Do
not look into the laser beam. The laser beam can injure your eyes when you
directly look into it. Do not expose yourself to the laser beam. The laser beam can
cause skin burns.
In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never
expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and
strong vibrations.
Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the chapter
‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature uctua‐
tions and do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed to tem‐
perature uctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures).
Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient
conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by
qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other
malfunction.
Safety instructions

NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or re.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react
with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC oor and after some
time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but use felt-pad
oor protectors or a carpet.

3 Features
The showlaser is specially suited for discos, clubs, bars, small stages, etc. It allows smooth inte‐
gration into light shows, but can also be operated as stand-alone device. The two laser diodes
together with the LED background illumination provide extraordinary special eects.
Special features of the device:
nControl via DMX (7 channels) and via buttons and display on the unit
nBuilt-in automatic show programmes
nSound control
nMaster / slave mode
nLaser diodes:
– Red: 100 mW
– Green: 40 mW
nBlue LED background illumination with projection lens
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
