Safety instructions
Laser safety basics
Laser safety requirements are based on DIN EN 60825-1. The corresponding accident preven‐
tion regulation of the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association in Germany is BGV-B2.
This device contains a class-4 laser. It is equipped with a safety key. Always remove the 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 pro‐
tection officer in writing and notify the operation of the laser equipment to the Accident Pre‐
vention 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 (e. g.
the Technical Control Board TÜV) prior to commissioning.

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!

Safety instructions
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective 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 regis‐
tered electrician.
DANGER!
Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam
The device contains a class-4 laser, classified according to EN 60825-1. Do not
look into the laser beam. The laser beam can injure your eyes when you directly
look into it. Do not expose yourself to the laser beam. The laser beam can cause
skin burns.
In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.

Installation
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).

in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment,
such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
The distance between the light output and the illuminated surface must be more
than 0.5 m (19.7 in).
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
