LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY
CAUTION IMPORTANT! When installing this projector, make sure that it is mounted in a manner
that prevents the audience from looking directly into the beam, and the beam from striking the
audience.
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 prop-
erly. 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 potentially 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 hundreds 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 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 balco-
nies, 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
