Protective measures for a safe operation
For producing and operating laser radiation the following regulation is binding:
DIN EN 60825-1 "Sicherheit von Laser-Einrichtungen", E DIN 56912
"Showlaser und Showlaseranlagen", die berufsgenossenschaftliche Vorschrift
Laserstrahlung BGV B2, Merkblatt "Lasergeräte in Diskotheken und bei
Show-Veranstaltungen", Merkblatt "Disco-Laser", all governmental regulation and all enerally
binding rules of technology.
The following are excerpts from the regulation mentioned above. This information is based on
regulations given on the date of printing. When operating a laser product in public or industrial
areas, a set of safety instructions has to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The
operator must therefore inform himself about the latest safety instructions and follow them.
2.3
Safety Shutdown
Show lasers must provide a safety shutdown enabling to interrupt the laser radiation directly at any
time.
2.4
Mechanical Construction
The show laser must be protected against re-adjustment, rotation and tilting.
The show laser must be installed in a way that the beam cannot be emitted in an unwanted way. If
there are optical efficient components (e.g. mirrow), they must be firmly fixed at the wall etc. All
load-bearing elements must also be firmly fixed.
