2 Safety instructions
This device is intended for use as an electronic lighting effect by means of LED technology and for the projection of laser light effects. The device is designed for professional use and is not suitable for use in households. Use the device only as described
in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
It is based on DIN EN 60825-1: 2015. The corresponding accident prevention regulation of the professional association in Germany is BGV-B2.
This device uses a class-3R laser. It is equipped with a safety key and a connection for
an external safety switch. Always remove the safety key when the device is not
attended by a trained operator.
As an operator you are responsible for the safety of all persons present. Familiarize
yourself with the laser safety regulations that apply in your country. To ensure safe
operation, it is important to pay attention to the following instructions.
Prior to commissioning, the company/operator must appoint a qualified person as
laser protection officer in writing and notify the operation of the laser equipment to
the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association and to the authority responsible
for occupational safety. In the event of public use, the complete laser equipment
must be approved by an expert before use.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are
missing or damaged.

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord)
with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the
plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in
doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
DANGER!
Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam
The device uses a class-3R laser, classified according to EN 60825-1:2015.
Do not look into the laser beam. The laser beam can injure your eyes
when you directly look into it. Do not expose to the laser beam. The
laser beam can cause skin burns.
In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.
WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
WARNING!
Risk of burns
The surface of the device can become very hot during operation.
Do not touch the device with bare hands during operation, and after
switching off wait for at least 15 minutes.
NOTICE!
Laser radiation – risk of fire
Keep the area exposed to laser radiation free from flammable substances.

NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any
direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage,
never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused
for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

4 Installation
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the
unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration,
dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or
your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
DANGER!
Laser radiation
During installation follow the instructions in Ä Chapter 2 ‘Safety instruc‐
tions’ on page 7.
To avoid laser emission, remove the safety key before you start to install
the device.
WARNING!
Stray laser radiation
Inadequately secured additional components may cause stray laser radiation.
Make sure that all additional components are adequately secured.
WARNING!
Laser radiation – safety switch required
The laser beam must be defeatable any time during operation, to avoid
hazards by faults, unsafe operation conditions, or disturbance within the
audience.
Therefore you have to connect a safety switch (emergency shut off) to
the unit, by which you can switch off the laser any time even from a
remote observation point (e.g. FOH position).
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
