Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 General Information The following chapters explain important information about lasers in general, basic laser safety and some tips about how to use this device correctly. Please spend some time reading these information as some of them are critical for safe and efficient operation of this laser display system.
The manufacturer and its distributors cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by improper use or misuse of this KVANT laser system. The owner/user is fully responsible for using this product in accordance to laser safety regulations of the country or state where the system is being used.
Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 What is a laser and how does it work? What is a LASER? The laser is a bunch of energy waves (streams of photons called radiation) with the same amplitude and faze that are flowing in the same direction; meaning they are coherent – they stick together and form a laser beam.

Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Laser Safety First! Before proceeding any further, please read the following safety page very carefully. It could help you avoid dangerous and hazardous situations which could lead to serious injury or property damage.
Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Installation of the System The manufacturer is not liable for damages or a injury caused by improper installation of the system. The installation should be carried by a qualified installer who should follow the Laser Safety Regulations of respective country.
Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Logolas Control System There is Moncha Lite laser control system inbuilt in every standard Logolas 1800 and Logolas 3000. The communication (data transfer) between a control computer and inbuilt interface is done via Wi-Fi network, where the network access point is provided by inbuilt wireless modem.
Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Scanning System The product warranty does not cover the damages to the scanning system caused by improper use of the scanning system or by incorrect programming. Therefore it is essential to understand how the scanning works and where are the limits of it. In this manual we will explain only the basics of it but it is the responsibility of every user to educate themselves so they can avoid damage being caused to the scanning system and costly repairs.

Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 As an example we’ll work with the star effect shown below and with the parameters of quality scanning system: Let’s say the star effect is made of 300 graphical points (including non-visible blanking points) and we know that the maximal scan-rate of our scanning system is 35kpps @ 8 degrees (= 35.000 points per...
Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Connection Diagram Please check that all the signal and power leads are correctly installed and that the safety keys are inserted in all necessary positions. Basic connection diagram E-STOP Remote safety key must be inserted and switched to ON position in order to disable the interlock.
Switching ON sequence and User Interlock Please make sure that all laser display safety requirements are fulfilled in accordance with laws of the country where this KVANT laser system is being used before switching the system ON. 1. Connect the system as showed on Connection Diagram.

Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 Beam Alignment It is possible that due to transportation, rigging, moving around or vibrations caused by various elements during a set up or laser performance some of the internal optical parts can move slightly resulting in colour misalignment.

Kvant spol. s.r.o. Logolas series - v61216 nicely while they hit exact centre of the bottom scanning mirror. An easiest way to do the alignment is to project a full size circle onto a wall (or any another suitable projection surface), change its colour as necessary and check the alignment of individual colours on both X and Y axes.
Logolas series - v61216 Beam Alignment [Logolas 1800] Although KVANT uses the latest technology to protect all the critical components inside this laser system against Electrostatic Discharge, the semiconductor laser diodes within this system are extremely vulnerable to it. This is due to some of the electronic components being exposed when the top cover is taken off.
