 Galaxian Sky™                          Laser Warnings and Safety

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING

The Galaxian 3D contains high power laser devices internally. 

Do not

 

open the laser housing, due to the potential exposure to unsafe levels 
of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is opened, 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 sources with which you may 
be aware of. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated 
than any 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 contatining cells that are sensitive to light). 
Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still poten-
tially 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.
Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hun-
dreds of beams and that the laser beam is scanned out in high 
speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This 
laser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels inter-
nally) 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 require-
ments at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and 
effects overhead.
