Theory of operation 

"UNITY Laser projector" is supplied with "E-Stop Box" and "Remote Interlock bypass" including one cable. If 
user  doesn't  need  aditional  "User  E-Stop  Switch",  "Remote  Interlock  bypass"  should  be  insterted  into 
"Remote Interlock Connector" on "E-Stop Box". If the user would like to use aditional "User E-Stop Switch", 
"Remote Interlock bypass" should be removed from "User E-Stop Connector" on "E-Stop Box". If the „User 
E-Stop switch“ is used, then laser emission is ONLY possible, when it is in CLOSED state, and also all other 
safety features are satisfied (e.g. mushroom switch, keyswitches, scanfail safety, ...)

 

PROPER USAGE 

This  product  is  for  overhead  mounting  only.  For  safety  purposes,  this  projector  should  be  mounted  on 
steady elevated platforms or sturdy overhead supports using suitable hanging clamps. In all cases, you must 
use safety cables.   
 
International laser safety regulations require that laser products must be operated in the fashion illustrated 
below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft.) of vertical separation between the floor and the lowest laser 
light  vertically.  Additionally,  2.5  meters  of  horizontal  separation  is  required  between  laser  light  and 
audience or other public spaces. 
The audience area can be passively protected by sliding the aperture cover plate upwards and fixing it in 
proper position by the two thumb screws. 
 

 

RIGGING 

 

Be sure that the structure onto which you are mounting this product can support its weight.   

 

Mount the product securely. You can do this with a screw, a nut, and a bolt. You may also use a 
mounting clamp if rigging this product onto a truss. The U-shaped support bracket has three 
mounting holes which may be used to secure the clamps to the projector. 

 

When mounting this product overhead, always use a safety cable. 

 

Always consider ease of access to the unit before deciding on a location for this product
