LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
•
According to the EN 60825-1:1994 + A1:2002 + A2:2002 regulations, this laser falls
under the classification 3B. Direct eye exposure can be dangerous.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION !
Avoid direct eye exposure! Laser radiation can cause eye damage
and/or skin damage. All protective measures for a safe operation of
this laser must be applied.
•
This product is a so-called show laser, emitting radiation with a wavelength spectrum
between 400 and 700 nm and producing lighting effects for shows.
•
Due to the construction of this laser, the beam is moved so fast, that it can only hit the
eye very short. This is why the use of this laser for a Laser-Light-Show can be regarded
as save.
•
Never direct the laser beam to people or animals and never leave this device running
unattended.
•
This laser may only be used for shows. The operation of a class 3B show laser is only
allowed if the operation is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator.
•
Depending on the classification, operating a laser product can produce laser radiation
that may cause permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The legal instructions for
using a laser product vary from country to country. The user must always inform himself
on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.

horizontal lines when the unit is in stand-alone mode.
7. DIP-SWITCHES:
switches 1~8 are used to set the DMX address between 000 and
255. Switch 9 is not used and switch 10 is used to select stand-alone or DMX mode.
8. AUTO/MUSIC SWITCH:
when the unit is used in stand-alone mode, this switch sets
the laser in music mode (patterns move to the rhythm of the beat) or auto mode
(patterns move automatically)
