This manual serves as a brief introduction to PASS, so you can install it and get started.
Pangolin provides you with the PASS hardware board, connection cables, and this manual.
You must provide a laser projector including laser, scanners, shutter and power supply.
You must also use a light sensor to ensure maximum protection. An optional control panel may also be
used for maximum flexibility.
PASS is a sophisticated system which, when properly integrated into a laser projector and used with the
proper show presentation techniques and Pangolin software, can assist in maintaining the safety of
Audience Scanning laser shows.
PASS is barely bigger than a credit card, and yet it includes a set of very sophisticated and complete
protection systems.
PASS hardware is designed with multiple levels of redundancy and with circuitry that is designed to fail-
safe. In fact PASS is designed to maintain safety even in the face of several simultaneous failures.
Although the PASS hardware circuit board itself is designed with redundant circuitry, some of the
redundancy of the entire system is provided by external elements, such as the shutter, light sensor, and
projector interlock. This is why these additional items are very important, and mandatory for most uses
of PASS.
This manual discusses how to install, connect, and adjust PASS. You must read and fully understand this
manual before installing and using PASS. Pangolin also conducts private training sessions that integrators
must attend, before Pangolin will sell the PASS hardware.
NOTICE! Pangolin will only guarantee the proper operation of PASS when it is used in conjunction with
Pangolin software and control hardware (i.e. QM2000, FB3 or FB4). In addition, Pangolin strongly
recommends the use of only ScannerMAX series of scanners and servo drivers, or alternatively
Cambridge model 6210 or 6215 scanners with associated servo drivers made by Cambridge Technology.
