Class 3b and 4 Laser Lighting Effect User
Safety Guide Important Warnings
Class 4 Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly in the face, and in many instances,
this may be the case even if viewed over longer distances of several tens of meters. Therefore, before
using the laser product you should familiarize yourself with its operation, and the safety aspects that need
to be considered.
Laser lighting effects are quite safe to watch if installed and used correctly and being aware of a few basic
factors will help you to achieve this. This guide has been prepared to help provide a basic backgrounder
to the key safety aspects and is based on current UK health and safety guidance on the use of lasers for
public displays.
Installation
The laser should only be installed and operated by those that are aware of how to operate laser, and what
the various controls perform.
The laser should be mounted in a suitable and secure position in the venue, so that once in position it is
unlikely to be affected by unintended movement.
Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the beams and effects should be considered,
particularly with respect to how they will touch the audience. If direct audience scanning is desired then
the laser energy in the effects needs to be considered to decide if the effects are safe for direct viewing.
NOTE! If the signal cable is over 60 m between the DMX512 controller and fixture or between
two fixtures, then a DMX signal amplifier is needed as well.
Introduction
Laser lighting products are used to create some of the most vivid and striking visual effects, and are often
noted for how they seem to produce solid shapes that cut through the air, and pick up highly defined
swirling smoke patterns. The light that is used to create these stunning effects is different from normal
3
light and therefore several precautions need to be taken when using lasers to ensure that the lighting
effects are safe and enjoyable to view. The optical power output from the kind of lasers used for lighting
displays can be harmful if not properly setup or is misused. But when used following the recommended
health and safety guidelines, laser lighting effects no more harmful than looking at any conventional
lighting effect.
Although this guide covers the main points to consider when using laser effects, users are advised to
familiarize themselves with other guidance, particularly that issued by the Health and Safety Executive,
HS(G)95 The Radiation Safety Of Lasers Used For Display Purposes.
A laser product that emits more than 5mW of light and less than 500mW can be classified as a Class 3B
laser product.
A laser product that emits more than 500mW of light and can be classified as a Class 4 laser product.
Class 3B and 4 are safe if used responsibly, and in accordance with the relevant the guidance issued by
the Health and Safety Executive.
Class 4 laser devices may cause fires and burn the skin if exposed directly.
In the simplest terms, generally keeping the beams and effects above the audience will not present a
hazard to those viewing the show or effects. When you start to aim the laser effects down into the
audience area is when it becomes harder to tell if the effects could cause harm. With a Class 3B and 4
laser lighting effect, the problem can arise if the beams or effects hit someone’s face. If in doubt, keep the
effects above the audience.
Class 3B and 4 laser devices can be harmful to eyesight if viewed directly. i.e. that is, the beam or effect
strikes the face of a person directly. The actual injury that a Class 3B and 4 lasers can cause depends upon
many factors, including how long the laser beam enters the eye for, the intensity of light, and what part
of the eye it gets focused onto. The most susceptible part of the eye to receive damage from a laser is the
internal back wall of the eyeball, known as the retina. It is this part of the eye that receives the light signals
that are sent to brain. All light entering the eye gets focused onto the retina.
Audience scanning
Audience Scanning is the term commonly used to describe when laser effects are being directly aimed at
the viewing audience. This creates a very dramatic looking effect, as people can touch the light, and look
down smoky tunnels. But because the laser light can touch or scan past people’s faces, it also carries a
risk that it could cause damage to people’s eyesight, if they are overexposed to the laser light.
The amount of laser light that a person can be exposed to without it causing harm to eyesight is known as
the Maximum Permissible Exposure or MPE. These levels are defined the in the British Laser Safety
Standard BS/EN 60826-1. When people are exposed to laser light which is above the MPE, it poses a risk
of causing eye damage. This could be of concern when the laser effects are viewed directly in the face or
there is a chance that they could be.
4
Knowing what the MPE and exposure level is for a given laser effect is quite a complex and involved
process to establish. For it is dependent on a whole number of conditions and variables that need to be
considered. The laser safety standard BS/EN 60825-1 contains the data required to calculate the safe
levels, but it is not straightforward to interpret. Laser Safety Calculation Software has been developed to
help ease the task of establishing laser effects exposure.
The BS/EN60825-1 Laser Safety Standard recommends that all establishments that use, or businesses that
work with Class 3B laser products, should appoint a Laser Safety Officer (LSO). The Laser Safety Officer
should be aware of the safety issues when using lasers, and is responsible for overseeing how the laser is
used. In smaller businesses, the LSO will probably also be the installer, operator, owner etc.
The worst-case effect to look at directly is a static single beam, because all the light energy is concentrated
into one point.

Key Operation:
1. Mode: press the key to select mode.
2. Up & Down: Select the current mode’s content.
3. Enter: confirmation key.
State of mode and operation:
1. PRG mode: playlist mode, play RGB file. The second row of LCD shows current playlist name. With
Up & Down change the playlist, pressing Enter and you change the current folder.
2. ILDA Mode: ILDA play mode, play single ILDA file (extension name is *.ILD, case insensitive)
repeatedly. The second row of LCD shows the current playing ILDA file name. Press "UP" and
"DOWN" to change ILDA file; press "ENTER" to change current folder.
3. Audio Mode: play built-in sonic programs, press "UP" and "DOWN" to change sonic rhythm.
4. Auto Mode: play built-in auto programs.
5. Dmx Mode: the first row of LCD shows the current mode, the second row shows and DMX address
and receiving status of console.
6. Phase Set: can set phase / direction of X and Y separately.
Attention
The system just supports short file name, file name (include folder name), most 8-bit file name and 3
extension name, file name and extension name formed by letter, number and under line. File name can’t
over 8 and no Chinese words, otherwise the system can’t identify it.
SD card can’t mix other file, most support 20 folders, every folder can save maximum 255 files and 10 PRG
files.
Program table: user can use notepad to edit program list, the extension name is *.PRG. Program table
formed by play file name, play speed, play times, ishow identify code "i" (if use ishow software make ild
file), middle using “i” separate. Edit item, for example: one program formed by File1.ild, File2.ild, File3.ild.
File1.ild play speed is 30K, replay 3 times; file2.ild play speed is 35K, play one time, , and file 2 is made by
ishow software; file3.ild play speed is 30K, play 4 times. Then prg1.prg contents as below:
File1.ild,30,3,0
File2.ild,35,1,i
File3.ild,30,4
7
When create one folder, need create the same PRG file under the folder, and put all the files need to play
in the folder into the PRG file. For example, under aurora folder, create aurora.prg file.After adding ILDA
file, need add the file to prg file, so that we can find the file quickly and play the file as per the speed you
set.

General Information
Replacing a fuse:
Always disconnect the fixture from main power before replacing a fuse. Use only the appropriate fuse,
with the same type and rating. A fuse with different rating, can damage the fixture in case of failure.
Risk of electric shock and / or fire:
The fixture must be earthed, supplied always with its nominal voltage and cleaned periodically from dust.
For cleaning use only, a moist cloth. Never use liquids or force water. After cleaning, let the fixture dry
before use.
