ENGLISH USER MANUAL

LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

 According to the EN/IEC 60825-1 Ed2, 2007-03 regulations, this laser falls under the classification 3B.

Direct eye exposure can be dangerous.

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

Avoid direct eye exposure! Laser radiation can cause eye damage

DANGER: LASER RADIATION !

and/or skin damage. All protective measures for a safe operation of

this laser must be applied.

 This product is a so-called show laser, emitting radiation with a wavelength spectrum between 400 and

700 nm and producing lighting effects for shows.

 Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this

product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye). 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 light are potentially

hazardous even at long distances.

 Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams  Never direct the laser beam to people or animals and

never leave this device running unattended.

 This laser may only be used for shows. The

operation of a class 3B show laser is only allowed if the operation is controlled by a skilled and welltrained operator.

 Depending on the classification, operating a laser

product can produce laser radiation that may cause permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The legal instructions for using a laser product vary from country to country. The user must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.

 The parent document and cornerstone of laser safety standards ANSI Z136.1 (2007) provides guidance for

the safe use of lasers and laser systems by defining control measures for each of the four laser classes. This valuable document can be obtained from www.laserinstitute.org

Please note that JB SYSTEMS cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and unskilled operation!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper

installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging

and servicing.

 Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The

fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.

 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be

seated.

 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s

weight.

 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit.

This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.

 The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!  Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.  The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by

an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

CAUTION EYE DAMAGE: Always position the laser in a way that prevents the audience from looking directly into the laser beams. The installation should assure that the beam will not strike the audience.

Some more information on DMX512:

The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.
