FAQ's - Troubleshooting - Tips
Note: STINGER 4.95 mW DOES NOT REQUIRE A VARIANCE.
1. What power levels of laser require a variance?
Any laser with an output greater than 4.95mW, regardless of color, requires a variance.
2. Is a variance a license?
Contrary to popular opinion a variance is not a license. A variance is permission from the FDA to
deviate from one or more of the requirements of a standard when alternate steps are taken to assure
safety.
3. What is the 3-meter rule?
The FDA criteria for manned laser shows is that NO laser radiation Class IIIb and above be emitted
below 3-meters above the highest platform humans can stand on or 2.5-Meters horizontally and on the
sides of the projector or 2.5-Meters below the audience.
4. What agencies govern lasers?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Center for Devices of Radiological Health (CDRH)
For outdoor application of lasers: FDA, CDRH and the FAA
Note: Arizona, Texas, and New York have additional requirements if you intend to use a
laser above 4.95mW. Contact OmniSistem for more information.

Troubleshooting:

Problem:
STINGER fan on, no laser output
Less than 1 mW (a thousandth of a watt)
1 mW to 5 mW
5 to 500 mW
500 mW and above
Solution:
-Check mode of operation.
-Ensure that all the connections are tight.
-Verify the correct voltage and mode settings on rear of
unit (i.e. 909 for stand alone operation).
In stand alone sound activated mode
Tap on microphone (Hole on rear of unit). Cycle power.
In DMX mode
-The first position in DMX mode is "Beam off". Move
DMX fader "up".
-Verify address.
-Ensure that all the equipment you are using is
compatible.
