OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed
at least 50cm
from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
CAUTION EYEDAMAGE:
Always position the laser in a way that prevents the
audience from looking directly into the laser beams. The installation should assure that
the beam will not strike the audience.
HOW TO SET UP AND CONTROL THE UNIT
You can operate the unit in 5 ways:
1) MUSIC CONTROLLED MODE:
The laser runs a preprogrammed sequence to the rhythm of the music. Select this mode when only 1 laser
is used (standalone) or when the laser is placed as the first (master) unit in a chain with several Laserburst
III lasers.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows one of the following: ArA, SrA, SLP, FAP, SoP, SLL,
FAL, SoL, SLd, FAd or Sod.
Now use the UP or DOWN buttons to select:
o
SrA
(Sound activated random effect)
o
SoP
(Sound activated moving patterns effect)
o
SoL
(Sound activated moving lines effect)
o
Sod
(Sound activated moving dots effect)
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
Put on some music and adjust the MUSIC SENSITIVITY-knob (10) until the laser works nicely to the
rhythm of the music.
You can connect several Laserburst III lasers together: just put the first unit of the chain in one of the
sound activated effect modes and all other units in “Slave mode” (display shows “SLA”) to make them all
work in perfect sync!
Note:
When no music is detected, the laser output will be shut off (blackout).

lasers.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows one of the following: ArA, SrA, SLP, FAP, SoP, SLL,
FAL, SoL, SLd, FAd or Sod.
Now use the UP or DOWN buttons to select:
o

(Auto running random effect)
o
SLP
(Slow Moving Patterns Effect)
o
FAP
(Fast Moving Patterns Effect)
o
SLL
(Slow Moving Lines Effect)
o
FAL
(Fast Moving Lines Effect)
o
SLD
(Slow Moving Dots Effect)
o
FAD
(Fast Moving Dots Effect)
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
The laser automatically runs a preprogrammed sequence.
You can connect several Laserburst III lasers together: just put the first unit of the chain in one of the
automatic effect modes and all other units in “Slave mode” (display shows “SLA”) to make them all work in
perfect sync!
3) SLAVE MODE:
The laser follows the instructions given by the first Laserburst III laser (master) in the chain.
Connect the DMX input of the laser to the DMX output of the previous laser in the chain.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows “SLA”
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
You can connect several Laserburst III lasers together. Please put the first unit of the chain in “Music or
automatic mode” and all other units in “Slave mode” (display shows “SLA” to make them all work in perfect
sync!
4) EASY CONTROLLER MODE:
An optional CA-8 controller can be connected so you can control the laser from a
distance. When several Laserburst III lasers are connected in master/slave, you should
connect the CA-8 controller to the first unit in the chain. All units will follow the
instructions given by the CA-8 remote.
Connect the CA-8 controller to the remote controller input (8) on the back.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows “CA8”
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
