Operating Determinations

This device is not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that the
device will serve you for a long time without defects.
The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be bigger than 1
meter.
In order to eliminate wear and improve the device's lifespan, during periods of non-use, completely
disconnect from power source via breaker or by unplugging.
The maximum ambient temperature ta = 35°C must never be exceeded.
The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature of 35°C.
If this device is operated in any other way, than the one described in this manual, the product may
suffer damages and the warranty becomes void.
Any other operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, crash etc.
You endanger your own safety and the safety of others!

Laser safety for a Class 4 Laser Product

Class 4 is the highest and most dangerous class of laser, including all lasers that exceed the Class 3B AEL.
By definition, a class 4 laser can burn the skin or cause devastating and permanent eye damage as a
result of direct, diffuse, specular reflections or indirect beam viewing.
These lasers may ignite combustible materials, and thus may represent a fire risk.
These hazards may also apply to indirect or non-specular reflections of the beam, even from apparently
matte surfaces—meaning that great care must be taken to control the beam path.
Class 4 lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel "heat" from a laser beam, it can still
potentially injure or blind you or your audience.
Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries
can happen quicker than you can blink.
It is incorrect to think that because these laser products split the laser into hundreds of beams or the laser
beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser
product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 4 levels internally). Many of the individual beams
are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the
laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of
any direct eye exposure. According to the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 4 lasers in
areas which people can get exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people's faces, such as on a
dance floor.
CAUTION! Only Laser Safety Officers who are officially certified by a regulatory body or authorized
training organization are allowed to use class 4 lasers in public. The Laser Safety Officer is responsible for
all aspects when using this laser, including following all locally applicable safety laws and regulations.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incorrect installation of
this laser.
Compliance Statement
Your laser has been designed to comply with FDA and IEC Standards for its classification.
The laser is a Class 4 laser product.
Ordercode: 51325
CAUTION: AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM: Avoid direct eye contact with laser
light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser
radiation.
