LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
This device contains high-power laser devices. Do not open the laser housing, as doing so may result in exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation. Without the protective housing in place, the laser power levels can cause instant blindness, skin burns, and fires.

STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY
The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. The light source emitted from a laser is very different from any other light source that you may have had experience with. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the back of your eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to light). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it still has the potential to injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser beam light are potentially hazardous, even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.

Although this device splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and the laser beam is scanned out at high speed, EVEN A SINGLE, INDIVIDUAL LASER BEAM IS NOT SAFE FOR EYE EXPOSURE. This laser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.

THE FACT THAT THE LASER IS IN MOTION DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS SAFE. Furthermore, the laser beams are not always in motion. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of any direct eye exposure.

SAFETY REGULATIONS STATE CLEARLY THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO AIM CLASS 3R LASERS AT AREAS WHERE PEOPLE COULD POTENTIALLY BE EXPOSED. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.

DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER WITHOUT FIRST READING AND UNDERSTANDING ALL SAFETY AND TECHNICAL DATA IN THIS MANUAL.
Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is aimed at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor where people may be standing.

After the device has been set up, and prior to public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if defects of any kind are detected. DO NOT USE IF LASER EMITS ONLY ONE OR TWO LASER BEAMS RATHER THAN DOZENS/HUNDREDS, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.

NEVER POINT A LASER AT AIRCRAFT. THIS IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, if the housing is open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires, burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
Never leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator who is familiar with the information presented in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.

DIMENSIONAL DRAWING

UC LASER IR CONTROL

The UC Laser IR infrared remote gives you control of various functions, as described below. To control the fixture, you must aim the remote at the front of the fixture. The maximum operating range is 30 feet.

The Airstream IR remote transmitter (sold separately) plugs into the headphone jack of your iOS phone or tablet. To control your IR fixture you must raise the volume to the maximum on your iOS phone or tablet and aim the transmitter at the fixture sensor. The maximum operating range is 15 feet. After you have purchased the Airstream IR transmitter, the app is a free download from the app store for your iOS phone or tablet. The app comes with 3 pages of control depending on the fixture you are using. This particular unit works with App page 3.
STAND BY – Pressing this button will blackout the fixture.
PATTERN – Press this button for random show mode.
PATTERN “+” / PATTERN “-” – Use these buttons to select a show.
SPEED – Press this button to select show speed.
SPEED “+” – Press this button to increase the show speed.
SPEED “-” – Press this button to decrease the show speed.
COLOR BUTTONS – Press the color buttons R, G, or R+G to select your desired color(s). Please note that buttons B, G+B, B+R, and R+G+B have no active function for this fixture.

SOUND – Press this button to activate the sound active mode
AUTO FAST – Press this button to activate the fast auto mode.
AUTO SLOW – Press this button to activate the slow auto mode.

CLEANING

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

• Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
• Clean the external optics periodically with a microfiber cloth.
• Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In the case of heavy usage, it is recommended to clean the
fixture on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity and crisp beam output.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with possible solutions.
No laser output from the unit:

• Check that the unit is connected securely to power.
• Check that the unit is not in blackout mode.
• In cold temperature situations, the laser may require as long as 3 to 5 minutes to generate a beam, due to the sensitivity of the laser diode.

The unit does not respond to sound:
Reaction to sound is triggered primarily by low frequencies (bass). As a result, tapping on the microphone, or quiet or high-pitched sounds may not trigger the sound reaction.
