THANK YOU!
Thank you for purchasing the Q-Beam. The employees of PULSE Lasers are committed to
building state of the art laser projectors. We know this commitment shows in the Q-Beam.
Pulse, established in 2000, is part of OmniSistem Lights and effects, a company that has been
distributing high-quality, innovative lighting products for nearly twenty years.
Utilizing our proprietary actuator technology and Diode Pumped Solid-State laser systems, the
Q-Beam is capable of producing two colors with many different modes of operation.
The Q-Beam uses the industry standard DMX-512 protocol for controlling beam apertures. The
Q-Beam also has its own sound activated modes for independent operation. All Q-Beam
parameters are configured via a LCD control panel.
Our customer service department ensures that all questions will be dealt with in an efficient
manner. Please feel free to call us Monday through Friday at 253-395-9500 - we are here to
assist you.
For after hours support, feel free to call our tech department at 253-951-1865.
We have designed and manufactured the Q-Beam to be of the highest level of quality available in
the world today. Our dedication to using only the highest quality parts combined with the
commitment to manufacturing a state of the art projector ensures that every Q-Beam will
conform to the highest standards in the laser industry.

Safety Precautions
Your Q-Beam is an under 5mW, class 3R laser system. While systems with this power
level are considered ‘eye -safe’, direct viewing of laser radiation can be an acute hazard to
the eyes. Do not point beams directly at people.
Dangerous voltages may be present in the unit even when the power is turned off. Always
remove AC power when performing any service on the system. Only qualified Pulse Laser
personnel may perform electrical service to the system.
The following safety precautions should be observed at all times:
• No smoking, drinking, or eating materials should be allowed near the system.
• Avoid wearing rin gs, metallic watchbands, or other metallic and/or reflective objects
when performing service on the system.
• Always use grounded plugs – Do not defeat ground!
• Make sure system is mounted rigidly before public performance.
Q-Beam Manufacturers CDRH Declaration
The Q-Beam projection system is in conformance with the performance standards for laser
products under 21 CFR part 1040, except with respect to those characteristics authorized
by variance number 96V-0168, effective 6/20/1996.
Q-Beam Electrical Safety Compliance
The Q-Beam, like most other laser projection products, is not UL or CE certified. However,
unlike most other laser projection products, the Q-Beam is manufactured with these
standards in mind, using 100% UL/CE/TUV/CSA certified compone nts. The Q-Beam is
also designed with compliance in mind for FCC standards for RF emissions, as well as
IEC standards for ESD/EFT compliance. Compliance testing will be performed on QBeam early in 2000.

Unpacking and Connecting Your Q-Beam
• The Q-Beam ships in a container designed to prevent shipping damage. Take the QBeam out of the shipping container and place it on a table or other area that will allow
inspection of the unit.
• Inspect the Q-Beam for any visible signs of damage. Make sure to check the LCD
panel as well as each beam aperture. If your Q-Beam appears damaged and or the
shipping materials appear damaged contact your dealer within 24 hours to initiate a
shipping claim. *
• Connect DMX-512 cabling if desired, and set the two dipswitch settings for your
application. (Rear Panel)
• Ensure your projection area is clear for initial tests.
• The Q-Beam is now ready to be turned on. (Refer to the operation section.)
*PULSE recommends that the original shipping materials be saved. These materials
insure safe transport back to PULSE for upgrades or service.
Shipping your projector without the yoke attached
or the factory packing materials will void the
warranty and may incur charges.
