what Is a laser and how does It work? What is a LASER? The laser is a device that creates continuous visible light energy waves (streams of photons that are referred to as “laser radiation”) with the same amplitude and phase that are flowing in the same direction; meaning they are coherent – they stick together and form a laser beam.

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. Both E-STOP Remote safety key and i laser system safety key must be inserted and switched to ON position in order to disable the interlock.
multIple system Interlock Multiple laser projectors may be daisy chained and controlled by a single E-STOP Remote. Any event which enables the Interlock on any laser projector in the daisy chain will trigger the safety 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.
KVANT laser system is being used before switching the system ON. Power loss lasting greater than 2 seconds. 2. Mushroom emergency switch depressed.

operatIon InstructIons Burstberry is based on FB4 and can be controlled in three ways. Art-Net, Autoplay and Beyond/QS. Art-Net FB4 uses for its functionality maximum 39 DMX channels (FB4 mode). There is also blinder LED and grating wheel installed in Burstberry. Currently there are 4 channels which controls blinder LED intensity, grating wheel On/ Off, grating wheel rotation direction, grating wheel rotation speed.
