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.
Depending on the power output of the system and weather conditions, the laser can be visible for miles – that is why we need to be cautious about aircrafts when performing outdoor shows. And if you get a system that is powerful enough then yes, it can reach the Moon. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

Every scanning system has a mechanical limit of how fast it can move its mirrors and therefore how many points it can display at any one second and that is usually represented in Points Per Second at a certain scanning angle, i.e. 8 degrees. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
8. Never hesitate to use the Emergency STOP if you think there’s a fault within the laser system or a potential danger to a person/object caused by the laser performance. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Make sure there is a sufficient air-flow around the laser system. 8. It is essential that the fan openings are never covered during the laser operation. 9. Always follow the Laser Safety Regulations of respective country where the laser is being used. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
The overall performance of any KVANT laser system is also dependent on the control system that you use for operating the laser as well as the correct device configuration in the laser control software. Please make sure all the laser settings in your control system are set correctly before you start using your Kvant laser display system.
(an angle under the laser beam is being projected). A different scanning systems have different scan- rate limits. It is essential to operate the scanning system at scan-rates within its maximal limit at all times to prevent it from overload damage. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Page 12
This indicates that you are exceeding the maximal scan rate of the scanning system! If you operate the scanning system at scan-rates higher than the maximum scan-rate of the scanning system the scanners will get damaged irreversibly due to overheated coils damaging rotor magnets. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Both E-STOP Remote safety key and laser system safety key must be inserted and switched to ON position in order to disable the interlock. USA ONLY: Remote Interlock Bypass must be inserted in the E-STOP Remote as well in order to disable the interlock. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
START button on the E-STOP Remote must be pressed by the operator to disable the Interlock. After an Emission Delay period the laser projectors will be ready for use. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
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. Connect the system as showed on Connection Diagram.

The E-STOP Remote is an integral part of the laser projector. It is there for the safety of the public as well as the operator. Modifying or using anything other than the E-STOP Remote provided, in the manner it was intended, may invalidate your laser projector’s variance. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
(brown is when they are dry), it means they are soaked, and they must be dried out. Inspect the cartridge every time you open the optical compartment, or at least once a month. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

System Overview KVANT Clubmax FB4 is a full colour, semiconductor diode laser system designed for professional laser displays. When operated correctly and in the right conditions the Clubmax FB4 laser system is able to deliver a strong performance in venues with up to 6000 people (CM-6800 FB4). The Clubmax FB4 can display virtually any colour within the basic RGB palette and its secondary mixed colours including white.
4. Laser emission indicator. When this indicator is lit up the laser system is ready to emit the laser radiation as soon as it receives instructions from control software. 5. Optical compartment cover bolts. To access the optical compartment of the laser system undo 8 button hex bolts and carefully remove the cover. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Size of the chassis on the picture above can vary, depending on exact Clubmax model. RGB colour alignment mechanism. To access the colour alignment mechanism undo 2 silver bolts and remove the cover. (*CM-3000 and CM-3400 models only) Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
In most countries it is required by law to have a fully working Emergency STOP in place for every laser system used. Modifying or using anything other than the E-STOP Remote provided, in the manner it was intended, may invalidate your laser projector’s variance. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

The on & off setting of Colour Balance mode is immediately stored in the internal memory of the laser projector, so next time you power it up, the Colour Balance mode is set to its latest state automatically. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Page 28
(Ethernet, DMX, ILDA), the calibrated palette is always there, ready for you to be switched on by Colour Balance button. 9. Safety eyelet. Use this together with appropriate safety wire to secure the system against unexpected fall. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Note that the LASORB won’t protect the diodes in all situations. Due to its response time, it doesn’t always eliminate all the ESD current, but in some instances may only limit it to a certain level. Also, it won’t protect against Charge Device Model (CDM) ESD, that may occur while using some tools. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

When doing the alignment on long distances it is always good to have someone with you who can point you in the right direction. Alternatively you can use binoculars. Clubmax FB4 series - v150120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
Beam Alignment [CM-2000 FB4] 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.
