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.
- This unit uses stepping motors to create variable movements to the laser beam. This way, figures
and patterns can be made. The unit uses high-speed stepping motors to create the moving beams of
the laser. It is normal that the laser beam and projection may appear ‘flickering’ when projecting large
or complex patterns.
- The projected beams of the unit may appear shivering when projecting complex or large patterns on
surfaces as a wall, ceiling or decorative cloth.
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.
A DMX-dipswitch panel works with a binary character. It sends a 0 or 1 message to the electrical
circuit. To select a working mode, pay close attention to the information scheduled below. Every DMX
dipswitch stands for a certain value, which is on or off. The values are stated as below:
1
– 1
