RADIATION AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE CLASS 3R LASER PRODUCT
Diode Laser – Max. Output < 5mW Wavelengths 400-700 nm Classified per IEC
60825-1 Ed. 3.0:2014
EC 62472 Risk Group 1
NOTICE
CAUTION—Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This product is classified as a Class 3R laser product and complies with the applicable parts of IEC/EN 60825-1 Ed. 2.0:2007 and Ed. 3.0:2014. The manufacturer additionally certifies it complies with the US FDA Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (FLPPS) provided in 21 CFR Subchapter J, 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for allowable deviations specified in FDA
Guidance documents.
Do not stare into the beams emitted from the product. Intentional long-term viewing of CLASS 3R levels of laser light can be hazardous. This product uses diffractive optics to scatter the beam energy. This scattering effect causes the energy concentration to drop below the exposure limits for momentary or accidental viewing at a relatively short distance from the laser aperture. As with all bright light sources, when you operate this device in unsupervised general public areas, it is recommended that up-close access to the light be restricted or prevented and the beams are directed into locations where persons are not expected.
This laser display device incorporates a CLASS 3B laser system which, by
itself, may be hazardous. However, this laser display product incorporates a
protective housing and diffractive optics in its design so that there is no
exposure or human access to laser radiation during operation or maintenance
above the CLASS 3R limits. Each individual laser
beamlet’s power is below the Class 3R limit of 5 mW.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall attempts be made to open the protective housing or operate the device if the aperture window is damaged.
All service to this laser display device requiring the protective housing to be opened and/ or removed shall be performed by service personnel or their authorized agents. Opening the protective housing voids the warranty.
NO LASERS SHOULD BE POINTED INTO THE SKY WITHIN 10 NAUTICAL MILES (18.5 km) OF AN AIRPORT. IF YOU ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC PERIMETER, WE RECOMMEND THE LASERS BE POINTED DOWN AT THE GROUND SO NO STRAY BEAMS ARE PROJECTED INTO THE AIR. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT OR PROVINCIAL GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the BlissLights Ark Laser Projector. This product is
a unique indoor light fixture that uses patented laser and holographic
technology to project an abstract transforming Ark against a drifting nebula
cloud.
Each unit provides up to 20 x 20 ft of coverage. It has maximum electrical
usage of fewer than 5 Watts and operates in temperatures between 14°F to 95°F
(-10°C to 40°C).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

SETTING UP THE LASER PROJECTOR
Before operating your laser projector, please read the “Before you Begin” section and “Notice” section of this user’s guide.
- Insert the USB power cord into a powered USB port or use the included wall adapter to connect to an available electrical outlet.
- Place the Ark on a flat solid surface and aim toward desired ceiling/wall.
- Press the power button. The nebula and laser will gradually illuminate and begin moving by default.
- To adjust the illumination angle for walls, slide the unit down to the forward position.
- To turn off the light, cycle through the power button modes until the unit turns off completely. Remove the power plug from the electrical outlet.
- Use the following buttons to control lighting effects:
DEFAULT SETTINGS
Once the laser projector is plugged in, it will enter the default mode where all effects are on. Use the buttons to change the effect settings and brightness. This light has a built-in timer that is designed to automatically shut off after 6 hours of operation.
INSTALLATION TIPS
- Do not connect the light to a dimmer pack, as a dimmer accessory may damage the laser component.
- The darker the display area, the brighter your projection will appear.
