Ruby Beam™
Control & Functions
1. Audio Sensitivity Knob -
This adjust audio sensitivity of the
internal microphone (2). Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise
direction will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turning the knob in
the counter clockwise direction will decrease the fi xture’s sensitivity
to sound. If the knob is turned completely in the counter-clockwise
direction the sound sensitivity function will turn off.
2. Microphone -
This microphone receives external low frequencies
to trigger the unit in Sound-Active mode. This microphone is designed
to receive low frequency sounds only, tapping on the microphone and
high pitch sounds may not trigger the unit.
3. Power Cord Connection -
This connection is used to supply main
power to the fi xture. Use only the supplied I.E.C. power cord. Be sure
the main power matches the required power of your fi xture. The rated
power requirements are clearly marked on the rear panel of the unit.
4. Fuse Holder -
This housing stores the 2 amp GMA protective
fuse. Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise
instructed, by an authorized American DJ

service technician.

matches the required voltage for your American DJ

Ruby Beam.™
Please refer to the power lable on the rear panel of the unit.
General Operation:
This fixture is designed to operate as a stand
alone unit to sound. The Ruby Beam™ is ready to be plugged in out of
the box, there is no power switch. After plugging the fixture in the laser
will immediately begin to cycle through the many built in programs.
The programs cycle through automatically when the unit is operating
and may not be selected manually. The unit requires sound to operate
and will automatically blackout without sound to conserve laser life. If
the unit does not turn on after the unit has been plugged in, be sure
the sound sensitivity is tuned up (1), fuse has not blown, and the unit
is properly plugged in to a matching wall outlet. If problem continue to
persist, please contact customer support for further instructions.
Sensitivity Knob:
A sound sensitivity knob is located on the rear
of the unit. Use this knob to regulate the amount of sound it takes to
trigger the unit. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase
the units sensitivity to sound, turning the knob in a counter-clock-
wise direction will decrease the units sensitivity. Turning the knob
completely to the counter-clockwise direction will turn off the sound-
active mode.
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning
the internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-
ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure
longevity, and crisp beam output.
