LASER SAFETY
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink. It is wrong to assume that a single beam of a bundle of hundreds by the laser beams made, it cannot cause injury. It is also incorrect to assume that it is safe to look at a moving beam. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B/4 lasers in areas which people can get exposed also on a dance floor
CAUTION:
- Do not point lasers at people or animals.
- Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams, this can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly strikes the eyes.
- Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
- Install the laser units such that laser beams above the audience move See section later in this manual.
- Test the laser units always first before the public is present.
- Do not point lasers into the public or at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
- Never point a laser at aircraft or into the sky, this is a federal offense.
- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
- Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
- The operation of a laser is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the requirements that are needed.
- Do not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged in any way.
- Never leave this device running unattended.
- Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the leg al requirements at the location/country of use. This unit contains laser components with high power, live parts and parts that emit radiation. Therefore, It can also cause blindness, skin burns and fires.
Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI Z136.1 Standard “For Safe Use of Lasers”, available from “www.laserinstitute.org”. Many local governments, corporations, agencies, military and others, require all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can be obtained via the International Laser Display Association, www.laserist.org.
ATTENTION: The use in France is only allowed to the professional user and not to the end-user. See decision: www.legifrance.gouv.fr
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealers!
This fixture has been designed to be hung. It is recommended for safety
purposes, your lighting effect are properly mounted using a suitable hanging
clamp and safety cable. Items appropriate for safe and effective mounting are
easily sourced from your lighting vendor. International laser safety
regulations require that lasers must be operated in the fashion illustrated
below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of vertical separation between the
floor and the lowest laser light vertically. Additionally, 2.5 meters of
horizontal separation is required between laser light and audience or other
public spaces.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other
than what is specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure!
- The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
- Always use the supplied mounting bracket to hang the fixture.
- The fixture should aid of a mounting bracket (not included) to the supplied mounting bracket to be confirmed.
- The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
- Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
- The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
- The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
- The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly in inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 0.5 meter.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage from shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. In the event that the product must be returned to the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing. If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your unit. Leave the unit switched off until it has reached room temperature.
POWERSUPPLY
On the label on the backside of the unit is indicated on this type of power
supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this,
all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably
damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be
used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.
WARNING: Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker
or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the
risk of electrocution or fire.
LASER LIFETIME
Follow below advice to enjoy a longer laser lifetime:
- Quick on/off switching of this device will reduce durability of the laser diode dramatically.
- Ensure that device does not get overheated:
- Switch off device when it is not needed. Diodes are switched on and can wear out even if there is no visible laser output.
- Switch off device after 1 hour and let the laser cool down for 15 minutes.
- Ensure that the fans and heat sinks are free of dust and dirt.
REMOTE CONTROLLER
CLEANING
The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the unit’s light output. It will also prevent the unit from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the unit’s lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The unit’s cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog. To get the best performance and lifetime from the unit, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the unit. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the unit after a few hours and check it frequently the unit may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up.
Use the following guidelines:
- Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the unit.
- Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
- Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
- Dry the unit with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.
