LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY (continued)
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.
Do not that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the laser beams always move.
Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of any direct eye
exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers in areas which people can get
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 at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on
which people can stand.
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defect is
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, 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, familiar with the data included 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.
SET UP
Power Supply:
The ADJ Stinger II contains an automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage
when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the correct power
voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller
manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers.
A DMX controller sends
DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture
to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only
have a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked
together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To
ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path
possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For
example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at
the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows
to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
