ensure that it was not damaged in shipping, which can happen with sensitive optical
components.
Your new X-Laser projector is capable of producing absolutely stunning aerial laser e
ff
ects over
audiences in nearly any performance application with the convenience and flexibility of DMX
control. With the power of X-Laser fixtures also comes a responsibility for safety so we strongly
encourage you to read and follow all of the notices throughout this manual.
Please note that this User Guide is NOT exhaustive. For clients in the United States, Federal
law requires that you use your X-Laser equipment only in compliance with the terms of your
FDA variance. We also recommend that all of our clients, especially those who may be new to
high powered laser, seek advice and further training from experienced laserists and laser safety
o
ffi
cers. Light shows of any kind are always at their best when the designer understands the
strengths and weakness of the medium and the equipment. This is especially true for laser, as
the value of experience and training cannot be overstated when it comes to safely crafting the
best possible laser display. If you have any questions about proper use of your laser system,
laser safety, troubleshooting or anything else, visit us on the web 24/7 at www.x-laser.com so
that we can best assist you!
A note on Mercury-equipped projectors
Our laser control system, Mercury, was designed from the ground up specifically for use with
modern production grade stage lighting control. There are sometimes substantial di
ff
erences in
the ways these control systems present the features of the Mercury system. To help you get
started, we have created a series of video tutorials to show you all the basics of the system to
help you get up and running on a wide range of di
ff
erent platforms. Often these videos are the
fastest way to learn how to work with Mercury and we encourage you to check them out.
