1. Audience scanning is a term which describes the effect of laser beams being projected into your audience Theoretically it is possible to project a static small beam with high intensity when using ILDA software Therefore only skilled technicians and or laser operators should work with this kind of laser to prevent these situations The maximum scanner speed is 25 kpps but a setting of 20 kpps max in your laser software is recommended Selecting the wrong scanner speed in your laser software may cause permanent damage to the laser components When creating figures patterns or graphics always check the realtime projection of your laser to see if the laser scan set is capable of projecting the figures Slight flickering while projecting complex or very large patterns is virtually harmless for the scan set when setting the correct scan speed but large amounts of flickering and unrecognizable patterns are a sign that the scan set is unable to perform the task and drives its capabilities to the maximum and beyond with possible permanent damage as a consequence Warranty is void when the scan set of the laser is damaged caused by improper use Any information and illustrations shown in this user manual are subject to change without further notice User manual version 2 0 Creation date author initials 05 12 2013 RV Revision date author initials 18 02 2014 RV DMX operating mode While in the DMX mode it is possible to select the working mo2.
