Helicopter Q6 User Manual Rev. 1

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•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.

•To eliminate wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

•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.

Non-Interlocked Housing Warning

•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.

Laser Safety Notes

STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW

Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at long distances are potentially hazardous.

DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.

DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed, even if the laser

is aimed below people’s faces, such as at a dance floor.

Helicopter Q6 User Manual Rev. 1

Page 3 of 98

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical 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 section of this manual.

•After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly. 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 unterminated 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.

CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow the instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.

CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

International laser safety regulations require that laser products must be operated in the fashion illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of vertical separation between the floor and the lowest laser light. Additionally, 3 meters of horizontal separation is required between laser light and audience or other

public spaces.

CAUTION! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than THOSE specified IN THIS USER MANUAL may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

SOBRE EL LÁSER SIGUIENTES

La luz láser es diferente de cualquier otra fuente de luz. La luz de este producto puede causar lesión ocular si el producto no se instala y usa adecuadamente. La luz láser es miles de veces más concentrada que la luz de cualquier otro tipo de fuente. Esta concentración de luz puede causar lesiones instantáneas en el ojo, fundamentalmente por quemadura de la retina (la zona sensible a la luz en la parte posterior del ojo). Aunque usted no pueda sentir el “calor” de un haz de láser, este puede aún potencialmente lesionar o cegarle a usted o al público. Incluso cantidades de luz láser muy pequeñas son potencialmente peligrosas, incluso a largas distancias. Las lesiones oculares por láser pueden ocurrir más rápido de lo que se tarda en parpadear.

NO dé por supuesto que porque estos productos recreativos de láser dividan el láser en cientos de haces, y porque el haz de láser se lance a alta velocidad, es segura la exposición del ojo a un haz individual de láser. Este producto de láser utiliza docenas de milivatios de potencia láser (niveles clase 3B internamente) antes de dividirlo en múltiples haces (niveles clase 3R). Muchos de los haces individuales son potencialmente peligrosos para los ojos.

NO asuma que porque la luz láser está en movimiento, es segura. La luz láser no está nunca libre de riesgo, ni aunque el haz se mueva siempre. Puesto que las lesiones oculares pueden producirse instantáneamente, es crítico prevenir la posibilidad de CUALQUIER exposición directa al ojo. Según las disposiciones de seguridad láser, no es legal apuntar con láseres Clase 3a hacia áreas en las que las personas puedan quedar expuestas. Esto se aplica incluso si se apunta con el láser por debajo de las

caras de la gente, por ejemplo hacia la pista de baile.

ANTES DE EMPEZAR

•No ponga en funcionamiento el láser sin primero leer y comprender todos los datos técnicos y de seguridad de este manual.

•Ubique e instale todos los efectos láser SIEMPRE de forma que toda la luz láser está al menos a 3 m (9,8 pies) sobre el nivel del suelo en el que se encuentra la gente. Vea la sección Uso Adecuado de este manual.

•Después de la instalación, y antes de su uso público, pruebe el láser para asegurarse de que funciona adecuadamente. No lo use si detecta cualquier defecto.

•NO use el láser si este emite solo uno o dos haces en lugar de docenas/centenares, pues esto podría indicar una avería en la óptica de la rejilla de difracción, y podría permitir la emisión de niveles de láser por encima de la Clase 3R.

•NO apunte con láser a personas o animales.

•Nunca mire a la apertura del láser o a los haces de láser.

•NO apunte con el láser hacia áreas en las que las personas pudieran quedar expuestas, como balcones sin vigilancia, etc.

•NO apunte con láseres a superficies muy reflectantes como ventanas, espejos y metal pulido. Incluso los reflejos del láser pueden ser peligrosos.

•Nunca apunte con el láser a un avión, pues constituye delito según las leyes de EE.UU.

•Nunca apunte hacia el cielo con haces láser sueltos.

•No exponga la óptica de salida (apertura) a productos de limpia químicos.

•No use el láser si la carcasa está averiada o abierta, o si la óptica parece dañada de cualquier modo.

•Nunca abra la carcasa del láser. Los altos niveles de potencia láser dentro de la carcasa protectora pueden originar incendios o quemaduras en la piel y causarán lesiones oculares al instante.

•Nunca deje este producto en funcionamiento sin vigilancia.

•El funcionamiento de un láser de espectáculo de Clase 3R solo se permite si el espectáculo es controlado por un operador experimentado y bien formado, familiarizado con los datos contenidos en este manual.

•Los requisitos legales para usar productos de láser recreativo varían de un país a otro. El usuario es responsable de los requisitos legales del lugar/país en que lo utilice.

¡CUIDADO! NO ponga en funcionamiento este dispositivo en formas no especificadas en este manual de usuario. No seguir las instrucciones invalidará la garantía, podría dañar el producto o lesionar al usuario o al público.

¡CUIDADO! Este producto no se puede tirar con la basura doméstica. Póngase en contacto con el servicio de recogida para la eliminación de aparatos electrónicos de su zona.
