General Guidelines for Proper Usage
1. Always treat your laser with great care as some components are very
fragile. This is not a standard “DJ” light that can bounce around in the
back of a van for years and work just fine. Care for it as you would an
intelligent mirror scanner or laptop.
2. Aurora series X-Lasers are designed to work well with standard
DJ/club DMX lighting controllers. Controllers such as Grand MAs and
similar consoles which output faster DMX, may not be able to control
this laser.
3. Always keep all factory supplied labels on the unit and visible. They
are all required for legal compliance.
4. The unit is supplied with black wrap foil to be used as beam blocks to
prevent the laser from accidentally scanning into the audience area.
These are provided separate from the fixture so that they can be
applied, adjusted, and removed easily for mobile entertainment
applications.
If this unit is to be permanently installed, you may permanently apply
the foil to the outside of the unit. To apply, simply use thin strips of
gaffer’s tape or a heat safe glue for permanent installation. Using this
foil is required for maximum safety and we recommend replacing the
foil and/or tape at the first signs of wear. Replacement foil strips can be
obtained very inexpensively through your X-Laser dealer.
5. During any use of your X-Laser product be sure to leave open space
around all sides of the laser to facilitate airflow through the unit. Do not
obstruct the holes in the housing as these permit air to enter and cycle
though the unit.
6. Lasers work best at room temperature, with colder and warmer
temperatures resulting in inconsistent performance. Always ensure that
the laser housing has excellent airflow around the case and that the air
is no colder than 60 degrees F and no warmer than 90 degrees F. Failure
to do so may result in weak output or overly strong output (this is also a
safety issue!) which will diminish the life of the projector. Such failures
are NOT covered under our manufacturer’s warranty. Extreme cold or
