Safety Notices
Failure to follow the above precautions and other precautions contained in this user manual, particularly
with regard to human exposure to laser radiation and electrical safety, may result in serious injury, loss
of vision, electric shock, skin damage, and death. Please refer to the section on safe laser projector
usage later in this manual for more detailed operation guidelines. Always be mindful that Class 3B and 4
lasers shoot potentially hazardous radiation at the speed of light. They should be handled and operated
with care and caution.
1. This equipment should only be set up and operated by qualified personnel and under the
supervision of a qualified Laser Safety Officer.
2. Do not expose the human eye directly or indirectly to focused or scattered laser radiation as
loss of vision, complete blindness, and/or other serious injuries may result. Lasers are capable
of starting fires at great distances. Do not use around flammable materials.
3. This fixture is NOT intended for audience scanning effects. Operators must ensure that the
primary laser beam and any reflected beams remain in designated safe areas only. Please refer
to the terms of your specific FDA variance for vertical and lateral separation requirements. In
most cases, to prevent human access to the laser beam all beams are required to pass no closer
than 3m (10ft.) above any surface upon which someone can stand.
4. Always ensure that the fixture is mounted securely to prevent accidental beam shifts.
5. Always ensure that the main power supply is properly grounded before use. Do not use an
ungrounded power cable with this fixture.
6. Always provide both a primary and backup means of instantly terminating laser emissions.
7. Always test your means of termination before every performance.
8. DO NOT USE this fixture if you suspect that it contains a defect of any kind due to
manufacturing, damage, general wear or if the fixture has a broken manufacturer’s seal. Return
the fixture to the factory for service and/or maintenance immediately.
9. DO NOT EVER allow lasers to enter airspace or hit aircraft.
10. This unit should never be left unattended while operational and should always be disconnected
from both signal and power while being transported, rigged, de-rigged, cleaned, or when a
qualified operator is not present. We also recommend removing the key from your etherStop
pendant to prevent unwanted activation by untrained users.
11. Do not stand in front of the laser while active. All persons should wear protective eyewear while
rigging, maintaining, or otherwise working with the laser.
12. There are NO user serviceable parts inside of the fixture. Opening the outer casing may result in
radiation exposure. Any modifications to the fixture are prohibited, may be dangerous, and
require recertification by the manufacturer to maintain compliance with US Federal regulations.
13. Service operations other than those described in this manual must be carried out only by a
qualified technician in accordance with manufacturer’s specified procedures.
