tion on laser safety later in this manual for more detailed operation
guidelines. Always be mindful that Class IIIB and IV lasers shoot poten-
tially hazardous radiation at the speed of light.
17. For all venues you must designate safe and restricted areas of the
venue where persons are or are not allowed to be respectively. The "safe
areas" should not be subject to any laser radiation either directly or indi-
rectly. By protocol, there must be at least a 3 meter buffer between safe
and restricted areas on all sides. In other words, all laser beams must
terminate (i.e. not be reflected away) in the restricted areas to avoid hu-
man contact.
18. As a laser light show operator you have a responsibility to reasonably
foresee circumstances where conditions could present a safety risk to
patrons or staff. This means that making sure all laser units are properly
aimed via the onboard DMX, physically blocked to prevent radiation spill
or reflection into safe areas, and securely mounted are all "musts." Also,
to be sure that these conditions are met properly, trained employees
should be the only ones using these products.
19. Because there are no user serviceable parts inside of X-Laser
®
products, the outer case should never be opened by the user. To ensure
proper safe operation in demonstrations and performances, please im-
mediately discontinue use of your X-Laser
®
product if you notice or sus-
pect that any part of the laser is not functioning properly. In such a case,
call us or your dealer for an RMA number and we will repair the unit to
bring it back into compliance.
20. As a reminder, Class IIIB and IV laser products may only be used by
a person or employees of an organization which holds a Laser Light
Show Variance. All such persons must have adequate and appropriate
laser operation and safety training, keep a copy of their variance with
them at all performances, and keep appropriate safety logs and check-
lists. The variance holder must also file annual reports as required by the
CDRH (FDA) and ensure that their variance is renewed prior to expira-
tion. Copies of these forms, introductory training materials, and more
may be found on the DVD enclosed with this product.
21. We strongly recommend that each user of an X-Laser
®
Product read
“Safe Laser Display” literature published as ANSI Z136.1 and Z136.10.
These and a wealth of laser safety information is available from
www.rli.com and the Laser Institute of America. We also strongly recom-
mend that proper safety equipment such as wavelength specific laser
safety glasses be used during any times which a technician or others
could be exposed to laser radiation.
