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 WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS DEVICE!
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.
LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY
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 a 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.

OPERATION
CAUTION! When installing this device, ensure that it is mounted in a
manner that will prevent the audience from looking directly into the laser
beam! Do not allow the beam to strike the audience!
Operating Modes : This device features 2 operating modes: sound active
mode and auto mode. Sound Active Mode: This mode allows the unit to run to the
beat of the music. To select this mode, press the Mode button until the red
LED located on the front of the unit turns off. The device is in sound active
mode if the status LED on the front of the unit flashes at every beat or
sound.
Auto Mode : There are two auto modes to choose from slow auto mode or
fast auto mode.
- To run fast auto mode, press the Mode button until the red LED located on the front of the unit starts to flash quickly. This indicates that the device is in fast auto mode.
- To run slow auto mode, press the Mode button until the red LED located on the front of the unit starts to flash slowly. This indicates that the device is in slow auto mode.
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 rotation.
PATTERN “+” – Use this button for clockwise rotation.
PATTERN “-” – Use this button for counter-clockwise rotation.
SPEED – Press this button for random rotation speed.
SPEED “+” – Press this button to increase the rotation speed.
SPEED “-” – Press this button to decrease the rotation 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.
STROBE – This button will activate the strobe effect. Press and hold to
activate strobing.
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.
