Laser Safety Notes

Chauvet Scorpion Storm RGBY - Laser Safety Notes - 1

STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW

Chauvet Scorpion Storm RGBY - STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW - 1

Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at long distances are potentially hazardous.

DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.

DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. As eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people's faces, such as at a dance floor.

  • Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical data in this manual.
    • ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage section of this manual.
  • After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly. Do not use the product if any defect is detected.

- DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.

- DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.

- DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them.

- DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.

Chauvet Scorpion Storm RGBY - STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW - 2

- Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.

- Never point unterminated laser beams into the sky.

- Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.

- Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.

- Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.

- Never leave this product running unattended.

- The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.

- The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.

  • Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
  • Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

5. Maintenance

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source's life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

  1. Unplug the product from power.
  2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
  3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
  4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
  6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
  7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
