Atomic Colors: Safety instructions. 
 

Before using this unit please read this manual completely, 

and refer to the user manual for Atomic 3000 DMX strobe.

 

General 

 

• 

Read this manual fully before starting to use the unit. 

• 

Ensure that no objects or items are near the front aperture, or can get trapped in the roller 
mechanism. 

• 

Make sure the power supply for the Atomic Colors is connected and switched on, 

before 

operating the Atomic strobe.

 

 

To guard against falls 

 

• 

When fitting the unit to the Atomic 3000DMX, ensure all screws are thoroughly re-tightened. 

• 

When rigging the unit, use the safety wire attached to the unit as a means of secondary 
attachment. 

Note: This safety wire is designed solely for use with the Atomic Colors unit. Use a 
separate safety wire for Atomic 3000DMX strobe, and any other pieces of equipment. 

• 

When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 
times the weight of all installed devices. 

• 

Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use an 
approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable. 

• 

Block access below the work area whenever installing or removing the fixture. 

 

To guard against epileptic seizure 

 

• 

Do not operate the fixture near stairways. 

• 

Provide advance notice that strobe lighting is in use.

Avoid extended periods of continuous flashing, particularly at frequencies of 10 to 20 flashes 
per second, or with the color red.
