LASER BURST
HOW TO SET UP AND CONTROL THE UNIT
Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed for
continual use.
Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time. or before replacing the bulb or start servicing.
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
Important: Never look directly into the laser beam! Don’t use the effect in the presence of persons suffering
from epilepsy.
Good to know: Every time you turn the unit on, it moves the motors to their ‘home’ position so you may hear
some noises for several seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in
programs.
You can operate the unit in 3 ways:
1) AUTOMATIC STAND-ALONE MODE:
Set DIP-switch number 10 in “stand-alone” position. (display shows “---“)
Put the program switch position 4.
Switch the unit on with the key actuated on/off switch.
2) MUSIC CONTROLLED STAND-ALONE MODE:
Set DIP-switch number 10 in “stand-alone” position. (display shows “---“)
Put the program switch position 1, 2 or 3.
Switch the unit on with the key actuated on/off switch.
Put on some music at the desired level.
Turn the music sensitivity potentiometer until the laser beam nicely follows the music.
3) DMX OPERATED MODE:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
“daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced
cable (ex. JB Systems ref. 7-0063). To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences,
you must use a 90
Ω
to 120
Ω
terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply
won’t work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.
This is how you must setup and use the LASER BURST:
Connect the unit to a DMX-controller using a suitable DMX-cable.
Determine which DMX address the laser needs.
Set DIP-switch number 10 in “DMX” position.
You will have to set the DMX starting address with the DIP-switches 1 to 8. Each of these switches has
a corresponding DMX-value written under it. You can combine the values of these switches to obtain
any starting address between 001 and 255:
Dip
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8
Value
1
2
4
8
16
32

128
Begin address = 01
switch 1=ON
values: 1
Begin address = 05
switch 1+3=ON
values: 1+4 = 5
Begin address = 09
switch 1+4=ON
values: 1+8 = 9
Begin address = 13
switch 1+3+4=ON
values: 1+4+8 = 13
…
Begin address = 62
3+4+5+6=ON
values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62
The display helps you to check if the desired starting address is correct.
Once the address is set you can switch the unit on with the key actuated on/off switch.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
