SAFETY NOTES
Thank you very much for choosing our product, for your safety, please read the
laser safety instruction and this manual carefully before your operation.
This manual includes installation and user information.
Please install and operate the laser according to the requirements of this manual
and safety guidelines.
DO NOT OVER DRIVE THE SCANNERS. WHEN USING MAX SPEED

40000PPS ON THE ILDA SOFTWARE SETTING.
Class 3b and 4 Laser Lighting Effect User Safety Guide
Important Warnings
Class 4 Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly in the face, and in
many instances this may be the case even if viewed over longer distances of several tens
of metres. Therefore before using the laser product you should familiarise yourself with its
operation, and also the safety aspects that need to be considered.
Laser lighting effects are quite safe to watch if installed and used correctly, and being
aware of a few basic factors will help you to achieve this. This guide has been prepared
to help provide a basic backgrounder to the key safety aspects, and is based on current UK
health and safety guidance on the use of lasers for public displays.
Installation and Operation Notes
1. The laser should only be installed and operated by those that are aware of how to
operate laser, and what the various controls perform.
2. The laser should be mounted in a suitable and secure position in the venue, so that once
in position it is unlikely to be affected by unintended movement.

Key point for Common Mode
BEYONG/QS, ILDA, Auto Start, Test Mode is often be used. The key point is shown as
below:
BEYONG/WS Mode:
FB4 has one standard CAT5 or CAT6 Ethernet port, so you would only use a RJ45 cable
to connect the FB4 which the Projector has. But you must should have the FB3 hardware
and also FB3 has the License from Pangolin.
ILDA Input Mode:
ILDA input is nomorlly used, the DB25 cable should be connected to the Projector and
mode is "ILDA Input"
Auto Start Mode:
1. Use BEYONG or QS to update Firmware of FB4;
2. FB4 is "Auto Start Mode";
3. Tigger or Animation or play mode of "Auto Start Setup" is set according needed.(See
Table 2)
4. All finished, must to press to Exit Menu and Restart the Projector(need power OFF).
Test Mode:
1. Use BEYONG or QS to update Firmware of FB4;
2. FB4 is "Test Mode";
3. Test Pattern and Maste Size of "Test Mode" is set according needed.(See Table 2)
4. All finished, select the "Enable" is "√", the Projector is working.
DMX Mode:
According the numbers of the projectors, setting the DMX address.
FB4 has 4 DMX channels, the detail informaton as bellow:

Page11
3. Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the beams and effects should
be considered, particularly with respect to how they will touch the audience. If direct
audience scanning is desired then the laser energy in the effects needs to be considered to
decide if the effects are safe for direct viewing.
Introduction
Laser lighting products are used to create some of the most vivid and striking visual
effects, and are often noted for how they seem to produce solid shapes that cut through the
air, and pick up highly defined swirling smoke patterns. The light that is used to create
these stunning effects is different from normal light and therefore several precautions need
to taken when using lasers to ensure that the lighting effects are safe and enjoyable to
view. The optical power output from the kind of lasers used for lighting displays can be
harmful if not properly setup or is misused. But when used following the recommended
health and safety guidelines, laser lighting effects no more harmful than looking at any
conventional lighting effect.
Although this guide covers the main points to consider when using laser effects, users are
advised to familiarise themselves with other guidance, particularly that issued by the
Health and Safety Executive, HS(G)95 The Radiation Safety Of Lasers Used For Display
Purposes.
A laser product that emits more than 5mW of light and less than 500mW can be classified
as a Class 3B laser product
A laser product that emits more than 500mW of light and can be classified as a Class 4
laser product

Class 3B and 4 are safe if used responsibly, and in accordance with the relevant the
guidance issued by the Health and Safety Executive.
Class 4 laser devices may cause fires and burn the skin if exposed directly.
In the simplest terms, generally keeping the beams and effects above the audience will not
present a hazard to those viewing the show or effects. When you start to aim the laser
effects down into the audience area is when it becomes harder to tell if the effects could
cause harm. With a Class 3B and 4 laser lighting effect, the problem can arise if the beams
or effects actually hit someone’s face. If in doubt, keep the effects above the audience.
Class 3B and 4 laser devices can be harmful to eyesight if viewed directly. i.e. that is, the
beam or effect strikes the face of a person directly. The actual injury that a Class 3B and 4
laser can cause depends upon a number of factors, including how long the laser beam
enters the eye for, the intensity of light, and what part of the eye it actually gets focused
onto. The most susceptible part of the eye to receive damage from a laser is the internal
back wall of the eyeball, known as the retina. It is this part of the eye that receives the
light signals that are sent to brain. All light entering the eye gets focused onto the retina.

Knowing what the MPE and exposure level is for a given laser effect is quite a complex
and involved process to establish. For it is dependant on a whole number of conditions
and variables that need to be taken into account. The laser safety standard BS/EN 60825-1
contains the data required to calculate the safe levels, but it is not straightforward to
interpret. Laser Safety Calculation Software has been developed to help ease the task of
establishing laser effects exposure.
The BS/EN60825-1 Laser Safety Standard recommends that all establishments that use, or
businesses that work with Class 3B laser products, should appoint a Laser Safety Officer
(LSO). The Laser Safety Officer should be aware of the safety issues when using lasers,
and is responsible for overseeing how the laser is used. In smaller businesses, the LSO
will probably also be the installer, operator, owner etc.
The worst case effect to look at directly is a static single beam, because all the light energy
is concentrated into one point.

There are no specific “laser laws” or any “laser licences” that anybody needs in order to
own or operate a laser for lightshow use. However, there is specific guidance issued by the
Health and Safety Executive in the form of a document called HS(G)95 The Radiation
Safety of Lasers Used for Display Purposes. HS(G)95 outlines a number of detailed points
to consider when using lasers for lightshow purposes.
Class 3B and 4 laser products are required to have several specific safety features as part
of their design. These features are laid out in the British Standard on Laser Product Safety
BS/EN 60825-1 and are a requirement of the product meeting CE approvals. The
important ones are listed below:

Audience Scanning
Audience Scanning is the term commonly used to describe when laser effects are being
directly aimed at the viewing audience. This creates a very dramatic looking effect, as
people can touch the light, and look down smoky tunnels. But because the laser light can
touch or scan past people’s faces, it also carries a risk that it could cause damage to people
’s eyesight, if they are overexposed to the laser light.
The amount of laser light that a person can be exposed to without it causing harm to
eyesight is known as the Maximum Permissible Exposure or MPE. These levels are
defined the in the British Laser Safety Standard BS/EN 60826-1. When people are
exposed to laser light which is above the MPE, it poses a risk of causing eye damage. This
could be of concern when the laser effects are viewed directly in the face or there is a
chance that they could be.
