SMOOTH SCAN-3 LASER
LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
According to the EN/IEC 60825-1 Ed2, 2007-03 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.
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this
product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times
more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light power can
cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye).
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 light are potentially
hazardous even at long distances.
Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams
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.
The parent document and cornerstone of laser safety standards ANSI Z136.1 (2007) provides guidance for
the safe use of lasers and laser systems by defining control measures for each of the four laser classes.

Used to select the different functions of the laser, see further to learn how to
operate the unit.
8. IR RECEIVER:
used to control the unit by the wireless
remote control.
9. SAFETY EYEBOLT:
used to attach a safety cable
when the unit is rigged (see paragraph “overhead
rigging”
10. COOLING FAN:
used to cool the components inside
the enclosure. Make sure to never cover this fan
outlet!
11. INTERLOCK input:
used to connect the optional
emergency stop switch (see picture). When you push
this switch the laser beam will disappear immediately.
IMPORTANT! For your own safety we strongly recommend to connect this optional switch!
THERE WILL BE NO LASER OUTPUT WHEN THE INTERLOCK INPUT IS NOT USED!
Temporary solution: install the spare connector on the laser. (see picture)
