Guidelines for laser devices
Laser diode guidelines:
- This device is a professional show and entertainment laser product. The device emits laser beams with a
wavelength spectrum between 400 and 700 nm.
- This laser device has a different type of light source than other lighting products. This device is equipped
with powerful, concentrated laser beams which could cause serious injuries when used incorrectly. Laser
beams are approximately 1000x more powerful than regular light bulbs. This is caused by the very tight
projection angle of the laser diode, which is far more concentrated than a regular light source. The combined
power of the laser diode is powerful enough to cause permanent visual loss and other injuries when used
incorrectly.
- Harmful laser beams which may cause injury do not feel 'hot'. It is possible that laser beams which do not
generate noticeable heat cause serious injury. In most cases, this is visual loss, caused by a laser diode
because it is focussing on the retina, a sensitive part of the eye which is very sensitive to lighting.
Concentrated laser beams might burn the retina, causing permanent visual loss.
- Do not aim this laser device directly into your audience. The minimum distance in height between the floor
and the laser device should be more than 3 meters.
- A laser operator is required for the operation of this laser device. Never leave the laser device running
unattended.
- The requirements for laser shows may vary from country to country and even from region to region. Contact
your local authorities for more information regarding professional laser shows for indoor and outdoor
applications.
- Never point the laser directly to reflective surfaces nearby, as this might scatter the laser beams throughout
the room.
Optics guidelines:
- Never cover the beam output of the laser!
- Do not remove or replace the lens.
- Do not touch the lens with your fingers
- Only clean the lens with a non-aggressive solution or a damp cloth
Exterior guidelines:
- When used in a hanging position, the device always needs to be secured by using a safety cable. Attach
the safety cable to the provided safety eye with the carabiner hook. A safety cable is not included in delivery
and can be purchased separately.
- The device must be installed on a flat surface or hanging from a solid construction by using the included
bracket. Never hold the machine in your hands during use!
- When using the device in a hanging position, always mount a G-clamp or half coupler to the bracket, or use
bolts to install the bracket directly to a ceiling or beam.
WARNING!
This device emits powerful laser beams! Do not look directly in the laser beam to avoid possible
permanent injury to eyes and skin! This is a class 3B laser product.
