Setting up the device
Setting up the device
- When the power supply is connected, the unit will first calibrate the stepping motors of the unit. It is normal
that this may cause any noise. When the calibration is done, the unit is ready to be used (in the selected
DMX, automatic or music controlled mode)
- It is possible that the unit may shut off the beam projection when no music or sound is detected. This will
avoid the projection of a solid, static beam, which may cause injury to eyesight.
Selecting a working mode
This laser device has three working modes, which are
automatic, music-controlled
and
DMX
. To select the
right operating mode for your situation, use the dipswitch panel on the rear of the unit.
The display of the unit shows certain statuses, which are used to set preferences. A short explanation of the
codes and values are shown below:
NAFR: Main menu
NASL: SLOV (Master slow auto mode)
SLAV: SON (Slave mode)
NSEC: CRLN (single-laser slow auto mode)
NSES: SRLN (master sound activation)
NAFA: FASE (Master fast auto mode)
PAN: Pan (pan movement normal)
RPan (pan movement inverted)
FI:
FI (tilt movement normal)
RFI (tilt movement inverted)
DIS:
DIS (normal display mode)
RDIS (display mode inverted)
REST: Reset mode
LOFN: Reset to factory settings
Working mode explanation:
Sound active:
The unit uses its internal microphone to sense music (the beat of the music) and will change rotation, color
and speed according to the beat of the music. The microphone is situated at the front of the laser device. On
the rear of the laser, there is an adjustable microphone sensitivity knob.
Please note that the sound-activated mode will not function properly when the music source is not loud
enough or when only high-pitched sounds are played. The laser device will shut off when there is no music
detected, due to safety issues.
Auto:
The laser device will activate a pre-defined lasershow on a solid speed setting. The patterns change on a
pre-defined speed. It is possible to select a slow mode or fast mode.
Slave mode:
It is possible to link several ERO laser fixtures for a synchronized lasershow, without the use of a DMX
controller.
Connect your devices with standard XLR-XLR cables. The first device in the chain needs to be set to a basic
function, such as sound-active or one of the auto shows.
Select the slave mode on all other connected device in the chain. You will notice that these devices will
mimic the actions of the first device. It is possible to invert the pan or tilt function on slave fixtures, for
synchronized shows.
DMX mode:
With an external DMX-controller (or DMX-software) it is possible to control every feature of the laser device.
