Safety instructions Duties of the operator As the operator of the laser system, you must comply with legal occupational safety obliga‐ tions as per the OStrV (in Germany). The following applies in particular: Before putting into service, draw up an assessment of the risk posed by the direct and indi‐ rect effects of laser beams in line with the regulations applicable at the operating location.
Page 15
Safety instructions Use an additional safety switch (emergency stop switch) installed in an easily accessible central monitoring location (e.g. control room) that switches off the laser immediately and safely in the event of danger. Always remove the key from the key switch when not using the laser, in order to prevent unintentional laser radiation and unauthorised use.

Installation Installation Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Page 18
Installation DANGER! Risk of injury due to improper installation! If the laser is set up incorrectly and the installation point is too low or too close to persons, there is a significant risk of injury due to the high intensity of the laser beam.
Page 19
Installation DANGER! Risk of injury due to stray laser radiation! Additional components inadequately secured to the device as well as reflective objects and surfaces at the operating location can cause stray laser radiation, which can cause injuries. Make sure that additional components are always secured adequately. Make sure there are no reflective objects or surfaces in the range of the laser beams.
Page 20
Installation DANGER! Risk of injury due to inadequate warning signals! Persons unable to assess the dangers of a class 4 laser are at significant risk of injury and irreversible damage if such persons are not informed of the use of the laser.
Page 21
Installation NOTICE! Risk of overheating and fire due to inadequate distance and bad ventilation! If the distance between the light source and the illuminated surface is too short or the device is badly ventilated, the device can overheat and cause fires. Make sure that illuminated surfaces are more than 2 m away.
Page 22
Installation Inserting the battery into the Push the lock of the battery holder towards the centre of the housing and pull out the battery remote control holder like a drawer. Insert the batteries. The battery is correct if the positive pole points to the housing base of the remote control.
Starting up Starting up Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards. NOTICE! Data transfer errors due to improper wiring! If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data transfer.
Page 24
Starting up Connections in DMX mode Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain.
