Laser Exposure Warning; Laser Emission Data; Laser Compliance Statement - Chauvet helicopter Q6 User Manual

• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical
data in this manual.
• ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8
feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the
manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
• DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them.
• DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny
metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
• Never point unterminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in
any way.
• Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing
can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this product running unattended.
• The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a
skilled and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country.
The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.
CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual.
Failure to follow the instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or
injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your
local waste management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

Laser Exposure Warning

LASER LIGHT AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE
Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI
Z136.1 Standard "For Safe Use of Lasers", available from the Laser Institute of America:
www.lia.org. Many local governments, corporations, agencies, military, and others, require
all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can be
obtained via the International Laser Display Association: www.ilda.com.

Laser Emission Data

As measured under IEC measurement conditions for classification.
Divergence (each beam) <2 mrad
Divergence (total light) <160 degrees
Laser Power of Each Beam from Aperture* <5 mW
