5. The units will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone. Adjust

the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the master unit to make the unit more or less se-

nsitive in sound active.The panel has LED indicating for sound active.

Universal DMX Operation (DMX mode)

This mode allows you to use universal DMX-512 console to operate.

1. Install the units in a suitable position (laying or appending).

2. Use standard XLR microphone cable chain your units together via the XLR connector

on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.

3. Assign a DMX address to each the unit using dipswitches, see the "DMX Address Quick

Reference Char".

4. Turn on the all units' power, the units begins reset, then the unit begins working.

5. Use DMX console to control your units.

PC Control Operation

This mode allows you to use PC software(for example: Pangolin, Phenix, Mamba) to operate.

If no IDLA signal to DB25 jack in ILDA mode, the laser and scaner will is closed for protec-

tion. The scan speed of software coltrol must be less than 45000 PPS, otherwise, the patterns

possible have distortion, or the scaner is protected possibly by built-in circuitry.

Although this guide covers the main points to consider when using laser effects, users are
advised to familiarise themselves with other guidance, particularly that issued by the
Health and Safety Executive, HS(G)95 The Radiation Safety Of Lasers Used For Display
Purposes.
A laser product that emits more than 5mW of light and less than 500mW can be classified
as a Class 3B laser product

2. The laser should be mounted in a suitable and secure position in the venue, so that once
in position it is unlikely to be affected by unintended movement.

3. Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the beams and effects should
be considered, particularly with respect to how they will touch the audience. If direct
audience scanning is desired then the laser energy in the effects needs to be considered to
decide if the effects are safe for direct viewing.

Laser lighting products are used to create some of the most vivid and striking visual
effects, and are often noted for how they seem to produce solid shapes that cut through the
air, and pick up highly defined swirling smoke patterns. The light that is used to create
these stunning effects is different from normal light and therefore several precautions need
to taken when using lasers to ensure that the lighting effects are safe and enjoyable to
view. The optical power output from the kind of lasers used for lighting displays can be
harmful if not properly setup or is misused. But when used following the recommended
health and safety guidelines, laser lighting effects no more harmful than looking at any
conventional lighting effect.

Installation and Operation Notes

Introduction

1. The laser should only be installed and operated by those that are aware of how to
operate laser, and what the various controls perform.

Class 3b and 4 Laser Lighting Effect User Safety Guide
Important Warnings

Class 4 Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly in the face, and in
many instances this may be the case even if viewed over longer distances of several tens
of metres. Therefore before using the laser product you should familiarise yourself with its
operation, and also the safety aspects that need to be considered.

Laser lighting effects are quite safe to watch if installed and used correctly, and being
aware of a few basic factors will help you to achieve this. This guide has been prepared to
help provide a basic backgrounder to the key safety aspects, and is based on current UK
health and safety guidance on the use of lasers for public displays.
