General Guidelines for Safe Laser Use
Your X-Laser product is a powerful laser device intended for aerial
indoor lighting displays operated by professionals. The major concern
with professional laser systems is to avoid human contact with the laser
beam and to create a safe area where patrons and staff can enjoy your
light show. Please observe the following guidelines when using your X-
Laser product:
1. For all venues you must designate restricted areas of the venue
where persons are not allowed to be. These restricted areas, which may
include the space above a dance floor for overhead beam shows, should
be the ONLY places that direct or reflected beams should be allowed to
enter and terminate. The goal, in all cases, is to avoid ANY human
contact with the laser beams.
2. As a laser light show operator you have a responsibility to reasonably
foresee circumstances where conditions could present a safety risk to
people. This means that you must make sure all laser units are properly
aimed via your show programming, physically blocked to prevent
radiation spill or reflection into safe areas, and securely mounted. Also,
to be sure that these conditions are met properly, trained employees
should be the only ones rigging or operating X-Laser products.
3. Because the AUTO and SOUND ACTIVE modes of the laser do not
allow for manual scanning control, this unit should ONLY ever be
operated in DMX mode in show conditions. You must use the X axis
controls built into the DMX protocols to confine the laser to the
restricted areas of your venue only.
4. Because there are no user serviceable parts inside of X-Laser
products, the outer case should never be opened by the user. To ensure
proper safe operation in demonstrations and performances, please
immediately discontinue use of your X-Laser product if you notice or
suspect that any part of the laser is not functioning properly. In such a
case, call X-Laser or your dealer for an RMA number and we will repair
the unit to bring it back into compliance.
