Arena laser tag is one of the varieties of a fascinating and dynamic game of laser tag,

taking place in real time and space. The difference of this type is that the games are held in

closed darkened rooms, as a rule, anthurized under space wars. These conditions determine

the specific indication - initially, at the start of the game, the vest and blaster sensors glow

with the color of the team, and when an opponent’s blaster beam hits them, they flash white

briefly.

Aim of the Game is to hit by blaster's beam the sensors which are attached on

opponent's vest or weapon (the sensors may be attached on extra equipment as well). Player

and its team are earned points for each successful action (hit the opponent, base,

domination box, etc. capture). Depending on the settings, points are deducted for

opponent's hit into the sensors of opposite team player, respawn, unsuccessful shot, etc.

Statistics are quickly transmitted to the control computer and can be displayed on a screen

of a monitor, projector or television.

The minimum set for playing arena laser tag consists of sets of blaster + vest, router and

chargers. Setup, management of the game kits, and also statistics accounting and broadcast

is done through the Arena program installed on the device with the Windows operating

system.

Also, for a variety of gameplay, electronic devices manufactured by our company can

be used: Smart Domination Boxes, Multistations, SIRIUS station.

General view of the kit

1. Blaster

The blaster is a simulator of "space" weapons emitting coded infrared rays with a carrier

frequency of 56 kHz and a wavelength of 940 nm.

As emitters, Vishay's TSAL6100 IR diodes are used.

To increase realism, the IR beam during the shot is duplicated by a light beam like a

laser pointer.

A feature of this blaster model is that it is made of translucent ABS plastic in gray.

The blaster is connected to the vest through a flexible cable, reinforced with a sleeve.

Each blaster is equipped with a rubber tip, which reduces the risk of players getting physical

injuries during possible collisions.

The blaster is equipped with 9 hit sensors (4 on each side + frontal) built-in to the body,

which enable the opponent to hit the player not only in the vest, but also in his weapon.

Flashing RGB-LEDs in white on these sensors, as well as an audio signal, informs the player

that he was hit.

In addition to the hit indicators, a dynamic backlight synchronized with the shot was

used in the blaster body.

A two-hand sensor is installed in the case, which does not allow playing the game,

holding the blaster with one hand.

Each blaster features a multicolored screen that operates in 3 modes:

Pre-game mode displays initial parameters to start the game round;

Game mode displays actual player’s info during the game round;

Post-game mode displays game statistics after the game is over.

2. Vest

The vest is an integral part of the arena laser tag game kit and is connected to the

blaster with a special cable.

The vest has 7 damage and indication sensors (4 in the front and 3 in the back), the

bodies of which are made of durable polycarbonate. The sensors are equipped with vibro-

light indication and operate independently of each other, which allows you to record the

differential damage to the player by zone visually.

The textile base of the vest is made of durable, wear-resistant cordura material. Two

adjustable belts located on the sides allow you to adjust the size of the vest to the

complexion and age of most players.

The kit is powered by 2 Li-ion batteries (7.4 V, total capacity 5200 mAh),built- in the

control unit of the vest.

3. Battery Charger

To charge the batteries of the arena laser tag equipment, the delivery set includes a

charger connected to a 220 V electrical network.

The output voltage is 8.4 V, the maximum charge current is 2 A.

Battery charging

Arena laser tag equipment, produced by Lasertag.net uses lithium-ion batteries with an

internal overcharge, deep discharge and shortcut protection circuit.

Nevertheless, serious attention shall be paid to safe handling with Li-ion batteries.

Use ventilated and fireproof room to charge the batteries. In case of possible

inflammation of batteries, it shall not cause fire in the entire premise.

Temperature mode of Li-ion batteries charge affects their capacity being reduced

during charging process in the cold or heat environment. The charge shall be done under

environmental temperature in the range of +4°С to + 40°С, but optimum charging

temperature is +24°С.

Average charging time of a kit is 3 hours.

Safety precautions for the process of batteries charging are presented in a special

section of this manual (chapter 13).

4. Wi-Fi router

The kit comes with a Totolink N300RH device as a Wi-Fi router. The router is based on

the Realtek RTL8196E-CG network processor and is capable of providing data transfer rates of

up to 300 Mbps.

The router is equipped with an external power supply (12 V, 1A), a UTP cable and two

antennas with a gain of 11 dBi.

When using a portable power source (powerbank) for operation of the router, the

output voltage is necessary to be 12 V - the rated voltage of the router's power

supply.

Do not use the power supply of the router to charge the batteries of laser tag

equipment!

The Reset button resets all the router settings.

Body

There are 4 LAN ports on the connection panel, a WAN port for connecting the

provider's cable and a slot for connecting the power supply.

The device is delivered completely set up for operation with the software and the

equipment for laser tag produced by the Lasertag.net company.

Network setup is described in the chapter 8 of this manual.

5. Domination Box Smart

The Smart Domination Box (DBs) –an additional device that allows you to implement

one of the most interesting scenarios in the indoor laser tag - "Capture a domination box".

The main difference is the presence of 3 indicator scale, that shows the capture degree of

each command, as well as 5 modes, which allow to record the capture for both - time and

shots.

Capture is made by an infrared ray pulse directed from the laser tag gun into the

sensor. The sensor is placed in the lower inner part of the device, so the emitter must be

placed vertically downward relative to the base plane of the Domination box.

The device is powered by Li-ion batteries (7.4 V, total capacity 5200 mAh) located in the

case. The batteries are charged from the mains with a standard charger with an output

voltage of 8.4 V and a maximum charge current of 2 A.

Power supply slot

The device consists of a stand and a case, on the outside of which there are three racks

with 16 LEDs in each. On the case itself, there is a connector for the charger, a service button

and a power button. Three IR-emitters are mounted on the top cover, another 3 are mounted

in the upper part of the case on three sides, providing a circular effect on the kits of players.

There is an electronic board with an infrared receiver, a speaker and batteries inside the case.

The goal of the Domination Box is to record its “capture” by players of different teams,

summarize the total capture time or the number of hits in the DB infrared receiver and

determine the winner.

Device settings and control are performed in the ARENA program via the Wi-Fi channel

(chapter 10.1.1. of this manual).

The Smart Domination box has three operating modes: standby, game and service.

Standby Mode

Upon power-up, the Domination Box switches to the standby mode. Two central LEDs

are lit with the color of the current DB mode. To find out the battery’s charge level in this

mode you should press and release the service button. The number of glowing purple LEDs

will indicate the battery charge: 16 LEDs - 100%, 8 - 50%, etc.

Game Mode

The domination box can work in 5 display modes ("Capture for time"; "Capture with

shots"; "Tug of war"; "Triple capture" and "Raise the flag"), each of which is configured either

by the number of shots or by time DB holding required to determine the winner of the

round. Indication of the settings is carried out by the glow of 10 central LEDs. The color of

their glow corresponds to a certain mode, which is displayed in a sticker placed on the device

case.

In the capture modes for time, you can set the timer for 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30

minutes.

In the modes of capture by shots, the number of hits in the device receiver is set from

50 to 500 in increment of 50.
