Introduction: The Atmospheric RG LED is an incredible 2 chan-
nel DMX intelligent, red & green laser, and dark blue LED fixture. The
unique “web type” laser combined with the LED creates a psychedelic
atmospheric effect. The Atmospheric RG LED can operate as a stand
alone fixture or in a Master/Slave configuration. The Atmospheric RG
LED has three operating modes; sound active mode, show mode, or it
can be controlled via DMX. For best results use fog or special effects
smoke to enhance the beams projections.

Safety Issues: This unit may “pop” the fuse if the maximum allotted
load of 2 amps is reached.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this unit
rain or moisture.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.

electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical
shock and re in case of an internal short. Do not attempt to oper-
ate this unit if the power cord has been frayed or broken.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper
ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.
• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out-
doors voids all warranties.
• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.
• Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.

on, pinched by items placed upon or against them.
• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by
the manufacturer. See page 18 for cleaning details.
• Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or water.

Atmospheric RG LED Laser Warnings and Safety
Atmospheric RG LED Laser Warnings and Safety
NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
The Atmospheric RG LED contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing, due to the potential exposure
to unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is
opened, can cause instant blindness, skin burns and res.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY
The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye
injury if not set up and used properly. The light source emitted from a
laser is very dierent from any other light sources with which you may
be aware of. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated
than any light from any other kind of light source. This concentration
of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina
(the back of your eyeball contatining cells that are sensitive to light).
Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts
of laser beam light are potentially hazardous even at long distances.
Laser eye injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.
Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that the laser beam is scanned out in high
speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This
laser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many of
the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
Do not that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not
true. Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can
occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of
any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal
to aim Class 3R lasers in areas which people can get exposed. This
is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance
oor.
Do not operate the laser without rst reading and understanding
all safety and technical data in this manual.
Always set up and install all laser eects so that all laser light is at
least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the oor on which people can stand.
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper
function. Do not use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser
emits only one or two laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this could indicate damage to the diraction grating optic, and could
allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser
aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get
exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reective surfaces, such as windows,
mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reections can be hazardous.
Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal oense.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two
beams.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, the housing is open,
or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of
the protective housing can start res, burn skin and will cause instant
eye injury.
Never leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show
is controlled by a skilled and well- trained operator, familiar with the
data included in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary
from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal require-
ments at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and
