1. Use the laser for the minimum amount of time and switch off as soon as the measurement is complete Disconnect the cable from the Meter Unit as soon as possible and ALWAYS ensure that the Meter Unit is disconnected when the public have access to the venue e NEVER use the laser in any other application than it is designed DO NOT operate the laser when hand holding the Meter Unit There are serious penalties for using a laser in any manner that may cause accident or injury Particularly it is very dangerous to point the laser at vehicles or aircraft e Carry out alignment procedures and other adjustments and alterations which may give rise to unexpected beam paths or reflections with the laser switched off Avoid leaving the laser turned on whilst unattended e IMPORTANT Your ProSight system is shipped with the following labels please DO NOT remove under any circumstances They are affixed as shown on the SLST unit TEF This label should be affixed eee This label should be affixed APERTURE next to the Aperture at the cese fF next to the XLR connector at end of the unit the end of the unit This label should be affixed next This label should be affixed to the laser aperture at the end Tee next to the XLR connector at of the unit the end of the unit LASER SPECIFICATION Wavelength 532nm Max power 5mW Class 3R laser product to IEC EN 60825 1 2001 ED gt THE SSE PROSIGHT INCLINOMETER SYSTEM PROSIGHT _Z THE SSE P

7. The Sender Unit is now calibrated to read 0 00 when the bumper cabinet is perfectly horizontal NOTE It is normal for the Meter Unit display to occasionally display 0 01 when static This is because the ProSight continually calculates the static angle from dynamic information and is in fact fractionally more accurate when the PA system is swinging than it is when absolutely still ANGLE DISPLAY AND INTERPOLATION The ProSight system is now ready for use and will display the computed static resting angle of the Sender Unit when the Meter Unit is active The accuracy of the reading is a function of the number of periods of pendulum swing that the PA system has undergone As a guideline the angle display has the following accuracy 1 periods cycles of swing 1 0 2 periods cycles of swing 0 5 3 periods cycles of swing 0 1 It will be obvious that the measurement cannot be relied upon when the PA system hoists are actually being operated Once the hoist s have stopped the Meter Unit display quickly resolves the measurement A satisfactory value for the resting angle is normally displayed within a few seconds PRODUCT GUIDE SECTION ONE PROSIGHT _2 OPERATING THE LASER Lasers are potentially extremely dangerous Please observe all safety precautions when using this equipment Never use the laser when hand holding it and never let anyone into the target area of the laser whilst it is in use For a
