  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for purchasing this KVANT product. To ensure proper operation, please read this manual carefully before using the product. After reading it, keep it in a safe place for future reference. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 4: General Information

    This laser entertainment system is rated as a Class IV laser product and manufactured in accordance to EN 60825-1:2014. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation. Wear protective goggles of suitable optical density if necessary. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
  • Page 5 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.

  • Page 6: What Is A Laser And How Does It Work

    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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.
  • Page 7 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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 8: Laser Safety First

    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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 9: Installation Of The System

    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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 10: Control System

    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. Atom series - v160120 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. Atom series - v160120 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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 14: Multiple System Interlock

    Interlock for all the systems. After the event has been corrected the 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. Atom series - v160120 Kvant Lasers s.r.o.

  • Page 15: Switching On Sequence And User Interlock

    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.

  • Page 23: System Overview

    System Overview KVANT Atom is a full colour, semiconductor diode laser system designed for professional laser displays. When operated correctly and in the right conditions the Atom laser system is able to deliver a strong performance in large indoor (Atom 9 HPS, Atom 12) and outdoor venues (Atom 12, Atom 20). The Atom can display virtually any colour within the basic RGB palette and its secondary mixed colours including white.
