Safety instructions
If the device has been exposed to great temperature changes, do not switch it on immediately.
Condensation water may damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room
temperature.
The laser must only be used for shows. Any operation has to be attended and supervised by a skilled
and well-trained operator.
Never leave this device running unattended and keep it away from children and unauthorized persons.
Keep away from heaters and other heat sources. In order to safeguard sufficient ventilation, leave 50
cm of free space around the device.
Never direct the laser beam to people or animals.
CAUTION LASER DIODE: If you open the device for cleaning, always disconnect from mains!
HEALTH HAZARD! Never look directly into the light source, as sensitive persons may
suffer an epileptic shock!
These lasers are considered a definite eye hazard, particularly at the higher power levels, which WILL
cause eye damage. So these laser series models supplied with a key switch to prevent unauthorized
use, warning labels and aperture labels affixed to the laser.
Installation safety
Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the beams and effects should be
considered, particularly with respect to how they will reach the audience. If direct audience scanning
is desired, then the laser energy in the effects needs to be considered to decide if the effects are safe
for direct viewing. Always ensure, that the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in
the area accesible to the public. So install the laser in such a way, that minimum distances and
heights ensure the MPE is never exceeded in the public area. When audience scanning is performed,
an operator has to be present. An easily accessible emergency switch has to be installed. When
setting up the laser, make sure the laser is affixed firmly, to avoid vibrations.

Indoor use only
At front opening:
Avoid exposure – laser radiation is emitted.
OPERATING THE LASER
Don’t remove the warranty/serial number label - removal voids warranty
The operator has to make sure that laser radiation – for laser class 4 also reflected laser radiation –
higher than the maximum permissible level is avoided by technical or organisational measures.
(Especially with respect to the MPE, see above.)
Make sure to use the correct voltage. Use a power socket with earth/ground.
Don’t use dimmer,
RC,
or other
electronically switched
sockets. Whenever possible, don’t use the laser together with
large appliances, especially fog machines, on the same mains!
If the device is used in a flying installation, the mounting brackets and an appropriate safety-rope
must be afixed.
