Installation and Safety
- Safety First: Never look directly into the laser beam. The device is Class 3B.
- Mounting: When installing on walls or ceilings, use a safety cord capable of withstanding ten times the weight of the device. Maintain a minimum distance of 15 cm from walls and objects.
- Ventilation: Ensure ventilation openings are not covered. Do not place the device on heat-radiating surfaces.
- Interlock: Connect an easily accessible interlock connector or circuit breaker to the projector.
