NEDERLANDS

Read for the commissioning of the laser all safety instructions and technical data of this manual carefully and thoroughly.

Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink.

It is wrong to assume that a single beam of a bundle of hundreds by the laser beams made, it cannot cause injury.

It is also incorrect to assume that it is safe to look at a moving beam. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B/4 lasers in areas which people can get exposed also on a dance floor.

Caution:

• Do not point lasers at people or animals.
• Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams, this can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly strikes the eyes.
• Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
  • Install the laser units such that laser beams above the audience move See section later in this manual.
• Test the laser units always first before the public is present.
• Do not point lasers into the public or at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft or into the sky, this is a federal offense.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• The operation of a laser is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the requirements that are needed.
• Do not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged in any way.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
  • Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.

The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.

This unit contains laser components with high power, live parts and parts that emit radiation. Therefore, DO NOT OPEN the housing, THIS CAN BE FATAL. It can also cause blindness, skin burns and fires.

Eye damage occurs faster than you can blink your eyes.

Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI Z136.1 Standard “For Safe Use of Lasers”, available from “www.laserinstitute.org”. Many local governments, corporations, agencies, military and others, require all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can be obtained via the International Laser Display Association, www.laserist.org.

ENGLISH : Attention! The use in France is only allowed to the professional user and not to the enduser. See decision: www.legifrance.gouv.fr

CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealers!

This fixture has been designed to be hung. It is recommended for safety purposes, your lighting effect are properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable. Items appropriate for safe and effective mounting are easily sourced from your lighting vendor. International laser safety regulations require that lasers must be operated in the fashion illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of vertical separation between the floor and the lowest laser light vertically. Additionally, 2.5 meters of horizontal separation is required between laser light and audience or other public spaces.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than what is specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure!

• The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
  • Always use the supplied mounting bracket to hang the fixture.
  • The fixture should aid of a mounting bracket (not included) to the supplied mounting bracket to be confirmed.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
  • Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

- The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach.

- For your own safety and for others, we do strongly recommend you to use this laser emergency kill switch. (ref.no: 152.958)

CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no highly in inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 0.5 meter.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTION

This function should only be turned off by well-trained operator, after checking well all safety aspects!

DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.

DMX Signal

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.

Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.

Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. If the power indicator is off and the laser doesn't work, please check the power supply and the input.
2. In Stand-Alone operation, if the power supply indicator is ON and sound active indicator is OFF, but the laser doesn't work.

A. The sound may be too small and cannot activate the laser running, please increase the music volume or increase sound sensitivity on rear panel.
B. Please check if unit has been set up in slave mode, or DMX mode.

1. In Master-Slave operation, slave units don't running, please check as below.

A. Make sure there's only one master in the chain, and the others are set in slave mode.
B. Make sure to use a good quality power cable and XLR connector.

1. In DMX operation, the unit can't be controlled by the DMX console, but the DMX signal indicator is flashing, please make sure the DMX console and unit have the same channel.
