Housing Warning
• Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to
direct laser light.
• This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly
strikes the eyes.
• It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the audience or
other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
• It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
• Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!
• Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If transferring ownership of the product
to another user, be sure this document is kept with the laser.
• This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
• Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation.
• The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness, skin
burns, and fires.

• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technica l
data in this manual.
• ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8
feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage
manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure the y are functioni ng pr operly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
• DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them..
• DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal.
Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, 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 fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this product running unattended.
• The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled
and well-trained professional, who is 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 requirements in the location/country of use.

Safety Notes.
The GigBAR™ IRC must be mounted in a position that i ncludes planning for safe laser usage.
In addition, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
• Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the
product for maintenance and programming.
• Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product can support
the product’s weight (see Technical Specificat ions
).
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable (such as CH-05 from
Chauvet). Mount the product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a
truss.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to
the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could
damage the knobs.
• When mounting to the tripod, be sure the stand is tightened properly and leveled.
