Operation requirements
The operator has to make sure that laser radiation – also reflected laser radiation – higher than the
maximum permissible level is avoided by technical or organisational measures
Make sure to use the correct voltage. Always use a grounded mains connection. Don’t use a remote
controlled or other electronically switched main connection. Don’t use together with large
appliances (especially fog machines/hazers) on the same mains.
If the device is used in a flying installation, the mounting brackets and an appropriate safety-rope
must be fixed.
In some countries the operator must notify the accidence insurance and the authority for industrial
safety before operating a laser. For more information contact the relevant authorities.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are strictly forbidden due to safety
reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way differently than described in this manual, the product may
suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to
dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.
Keep surrounding dry and clean. T
his unit should be keep dry, do not use in the rain or damp and
dusty environment, don’t place liquid filled receptacles on the device. Projector should be put in a
water-proof housing when operated outside.
Regularly open the device (see “cleaning” further down) to check for dust inside, or if fog fluid
condenses in the housing (if so rearrange hazer and/or laser position).
Operating temperature is 10~35
°C
. In a new installation, check after some 15-30 minutes whether
the outlet air gets too warm. Regularly check the inside for dust deposits, especially around the
fans. Let laser cool off 10 minutes after 2 hours of operation, to ensure maximum lifetime for the
diode. Be careful not to direct stage lights toward the laser (especially moving heads), this can
cause overheating.
Distance between laser aperture and projection screen should be not less than 1 meter.
Do not turn device on and immediately off again frequently.
Do not look into the laser beam directly, especially not with optical instruments.
Do not touch the device with wet hands.
When the laser diode becomes dim or broken, please contact your dealer timely.
When returning laser to dealer/manufacturer always use original packaging.
Maintenance should be performed every 15-day period. See “cleaning” further down.
Operation
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Connect the power cable to the mains. The red LED on the front panel should turn on and the laser
beam will exit through the front opening – be careful. Now the device is in automatic mode.
Sound-/automatic mode
In automatic mode the patterns will be displayed automatically in a round robin fashion. Operating
switch 1 will set the device to sound mode. In sound mode the patterns are changed and animated
to the beat of the music. You can control the music-sensitivity of the microphone with the min-max
knob at the back panel. The Mic LED flashes when the audio is triggered.
DMX control
Setting Switch 10 to „off“ puts the device into DMX mode. Connect a DMX controller to operate the
laser. The red LED on the back panel will flash as long as a DMX signal is detected.
To set the DMX address of the laser use switches 1 to 9, each switch represents a number
