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.
Power Supply:
This unit is available in either 120v or 220v option.
Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltage in your area
matches the required voltage for your American DJ

Ruby Star.™
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. The Ruby Star™ is ready to be plugged in out of the box.
There is no power switch, after plugging the unit in a power outlet the
laser will immediately begin to cycle through the many built in pat-
terns (provided there is an ample amount of sound to trigger the unit).
The unit comes with several built-in patterns that automatically cycle
through when the unit is operating, the patterns may not be selected
manually. If the unit does not turn on after the unit has been plugged
in, be sure the fuse has not blown and the unit is properly plugged in
to a matching wall outlet. If problem continue to persist, please con-
tact 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 counterclockwise
direction will decrease the units sensitivity. Turning the knob com-
pletely to the counter-clockwise direction will turn off the sound-
active mode.
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning
the 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.
