9. ead to all sorts of adverse consequences It is strongly recommend that you adhere to all Laser audience scan safety advice What is MPE Maximum Permisible Exposure This is maximum amount of laser light that the eye can sustain before damage could start occurring What effects are more suited to audience scanning Effects that include stationary or slow moving beams should be avoided at all times If you can see the beam moving through the path it is taking it is almost certainly too dangerous to project into the audience You should also avoid projecting effects that contain hot spots or dwell points in them Dwell is where extra points are put into certain parts of the effect to help define a sharp corner etc The energy present on these types of effect is not evenly dispersed and the hot spots can be hazardous Smooth flowing effects such as circular tunnels are safer because they maintain a constant speed Additionally if you keep the whole effect panning over the audience it helps to reduce the amount of time the laser beam is in any one person s eyes The XY Laser is designed not to create such hot spot beams that can cause any issue and the integral laser safety cut out circuit will switch the laser off if any of the scanning motors fail or stop working correctly Does scanning an effect at a faster speed make things safer Generally yes because the beam scans past the eye quicker therefore reducing the dose of laser energy into the
