Frequently Asked Questions - impression Laser GLP

What laser class is the GLP impression Laser?

The GLP impression Laser is a Class 4 laser, which can cause serious eye injury even without optical instruments and within short exposure times.

What is the recommended safety distance from flammable materials?

A safety distance of at least 1.5 meters must be maintained from easily flammable materials such as decoration.

How long should I wait before servicing after disconnecting power?

Wait at least 15 minutes after disconnecting AC power to allow the fixture to cool down before changing the optical carrier or performing maintenance.

Can the GLP impression Laser be mounted upside down or on its side?

Yes, the fixture can be mounted in hanging (head down) and sideways positions using appropriate accessories. Do not use the hanging method for sideways mounting to avoid damage.

What type of DMX connector does the fixture use?

The fixture uses standard USITT DMX-512 with 3-pole XLR connectors. Pin 1 = Ground, Pin 2 = (-), Pin 3 = (+).

How many DMX channels does the impression Laser use in full mode?

In full mode, the fixture uses 20 DMX channels. The Access channel (5) allows selecting Basic (8 ch), Standard (12 ch), Extended (16 ch), or Full (20 ch) modes.

What is the maximum ambient operating temperature?

The maximum ambient temperature is 45°C (113°F). The fixture has an integrated overheating switch.

How do I clean the exit window and fans?

Clean the exit window weekly with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with glass cleaner. Clean the fan and air channel monthly using a vacuum cleaner or airbrush. Never use alcohol or solvents.

What is the power consumption and fuse rating?

Power consumption is 170 VA (W) with an auto-sensing power supply (100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz). The fuse is a 5x20 mm T2.5A micro-fuse.

Does the fixture have a safety wire requirement?

Yes, regardless of mounting method, a secondary safety wire must be used. Thread it through one of the two holes on the base and secure it to the mounting support. The safety wire must hold at least 10 times the fixture's weight.

1.1 Safety Instructions

The GLP iLaser is an advanced technology product. To guarantee smooth operation, it is necessary to follow the following instructions.

The manufacturer of this device will not take responsibility of damages through any disregard of the information in this user manual. Warranty claims will also be cancelled in the event of the system casing being opened.

1. Make sure that before powering up the fixture, the fans and air inlets are clean and not blocked by anything.

2. Before powering up the fixture, ensure that the moving head part of the fixture can rotate unhindered through its full range of movement.

3. A safety distance of at least 1.5 m to any easily flammable material (e.g. decoration material) must be adhered to.

4. Attention! Don't touch the device during operation. Parts of the fixture can become hot and can cause injuries and / or damages.

5. The system doesn't contain any user serviceable parts. Opening the fixture will void the manufacturers warranty.

6. Danger of burning. Wait at least 15 minutes after disconnecting the AC power before changing the optical carrier on the fixture. Pay attention to possible hot parts of the system.

7. Never look directly into the Laser. Never use optical apertures with a distance less than 1.5 ~m to observe the beam of light. Laser Class 4. Not following these precautions can result in serious injury to your eyes and in particular, your retina.

Attention: Laser Class 4 can cause injuries of your eyes even without optical instruments in front of them or within a distance of less than 1.5m and short exposure time.

Avoid direct radiation to your eyes!

1. To allow a secure operation, follow also the Installation guide described in chapter 2. Operating the GLP iLaser without suitable safety aids like Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of an accident.

2. Repair-, maintenance- and installation work shall be done by qualified or GLP iLaser certified staff only. You need to pay attention to the common rules of technology that are not explicit mentioned in this manual.

3. Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification on the system will terminate all warranty claims.

2 Preparation and Installation

2.1 Mounting

The GLP iLaser is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted to a wall. It can also be operated while standing on the floor. Keep a safety distance of 0.5 m from any easily inflammable materials (decoration etc.).

Pay attention to the regulations of: BGV C1 (former VBG 70), DIN VDE 0711-217 and EN 60825.

The installation shall be done by qualified personal only.

For the various mounting positions of the GLP iLaser (standing on the floor, sideways or hanging) different accessories kits are available. Using any required kits, along with the standard mounting connectors on the base of the fixture, will ensure a safe and firm installation.

2.1.1 Mounting on the floor (upright)

To operate the GLP iLaser in an upright position, please use the dedicated floor-stand which ships with all original fixtures. The floor stand is mounted to the base of the fixture using the two Camlock quarter turn fasteners. Line up and engage the camlock connectors from the floor stand into the base of the fixture and turn the two fasteners 90° to lock them. Do the opposite to release them again. On both sides you'll find eyelets to pull though a fixing strap. This allows additional bracing of the floor-stand during the upright operation.

2.1.1 Mounting in hanging position (head down)

To operate the GLP iLaser in a hanging position, a half-coupler or similar clamp can be mounted directly to the bottom of the base using the M10x16 mm threaded socket.

2.1.1 Mounting in a sideway position

To operate the GLP iLaser in a sideways position, please use an additional mounting bar, available from GLP or one of their agents.. This mounting bar is fixed via the two camlock quick-release connectors. Two half-couplers or clamps are then used to hang the mounting bar. This technique is necessary to cope with the additional torque in this mounting position. Never use the "Mounting in hanging position" technique described above to secure the fixture in a sideway position, as the fixtures base can become damaged, and a secure installation cannot be assured.

2.2 Securing the Device

Regardless of the mounting method of the GLP iLaser you'll have to use a secondary safety wire. This safety wire can be attached to the fixture by threading it through one of the two holes provided on the base of the fixture. Ensure that the safety wire is securely fastened through the fixture and the fixtures mounting support. Install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

2.3 Connections

5 Maintaining and Cleaning the GLP iLaser

The GLP iLaser is a system of very low maintenance. It is only necessary to clean the air in- and outlets as well as the exit window from time to time. For a safe operation it is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not built up on or within the fixture. Otherwise the fixture's light-output will be significantly reduced or damages can occur. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to operate reliably throughout its life.

A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!

5.1 Safety regulations

• Pull out the main plug!
• Wait min. 15 minutes after the last operation to cool down the fixture.

5.2 Maintenance Intervals (rule-of-thumb)

The maintenance schedule of any given fixture depends on the installation environment. Hence no specific guidelines can be given. The cleaning intervals given below are suggestions, based on practical experience. We suggest that you start with these and develop your own maintenance schedule as you see the fixtures performance in your specific environment.

Maintenance Task Interval How
Exit window weekly soft brush /lint-free cloth
Fan and air channel monthly	vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.

Attention:

• Never let optical parts come into contact with oil or fat.
• Before running the fixture wait until all parts are dried up.
