Never hesitate to disable laser output
when a problem occurs. The safety of the
audience, performers, and operators is
ALWAYS
more important than the show.
Blinking signal seen via
laser’s emission indicator
tells the operator that:
The EtherStop system provides
integrated
network and compliance
signaling
for your laser control
network, including:
• Compliance signals:
• Remote stop
• Laser emission indicator
• System reset
• Network signals:
• Art-Net
• Streaming ACN (sACN)
• Off = Laser is not ready (interlock open, key off)
• Every 3 sec. = Laser is ready to reset
• Every 1 sec. = Emission delay period (10 sec.)
• Solid on = Laser is ready to emit/is emitting
Typical setup and operation of
EtherStop equipment includes:
• Connect and power on equipment
• Verify Remote In ports are
terminated/filled properly
• Enable key switches and release
remote stop (red) buttons
• Test all remote stop system switches
