The power supply should be easily accessible.
- When installing the laser mount it with a minimum distance of 15 cm from walls and objects.
- For safe setup e.g. on walls or ceilings please use a safety cord. The safety cord should be able to withstand tenfold the weight of the device. Please follow the accident prevention regulations of professional associations and/or comparable regulations for accident prevention.
- If the device has been exposed to great temperature changes, do not switch it on immediately. Condensation (or any moisture / water formed) may damage device.
- Never use dimmer, RC or other electronically switched sockets. Whenever possible, do not use the laser projector together with large appliances (especially fog machines) on the same mains!

• Ensure sufficient ventilation and do not place the device on any warm or heat radiating surface. Especially the ventilation openings must not be covered!
• Ensure that device does not get overheated. Make sure that the device is not exposed to spotlights (especially moving heads). Heat of spotlights could overheat laser in a little while and leads to a degradation of performance.
  This unit is intended for indoor use only.

4. Working on the device

• This product has no user serviceable parts inside and should only be maintained and serviced by a qualified engineer.
• Be sure that the mains plug is not connected to the power supply while installing.

8.2.3.MASTER-SLAVE

The CS-1000RGB is Master-Slave capable. this means that the Master laser system can hand on a control signal to one or more Slave lasers, so all do the same.

Master-Slave only works with lasers of the same product series of the same product generation.

A: Link lasers with DMX cable

To use Master-Slave operation, link the Master with the Slave lasers with DMX cable. Make sure to use the "DMX out" port on the Master and the "DMX in" on the Slave lasers. If several Slave lasers are used, link the first one to the Master laser and daisy-chain the control signal from the first Slave laser to the second etc..

C: Deactivate Master setting on Slave lasers

As soon as the Master option is set to _on", the laser sends out the control signal for the Slave units. Make sure that all Slave units have the Master setting set to _off":

D: Set Sound-to-Light or Auto mode on Master laser

To use the Master-Slave operation: Set the Master to either Sound-to-Light mode (8.2.1) or Auto mode (8.2.2).

E: Establish link to Slave lasers

The Slave units must be set to DMX (,d512^) mode and must be assigned address 001 (see 8.2.4. DMX 512)

8.2.4.DMX512

The DMX mode requires a DMX controller or a Master laser (see 8.2.3. Master-Slave operation) to be connected to the laser.

To switch to DMX mode, select "d512" by navigating with the "Up" / "Down" buttons and confirm with .Enter:

The submenu for setting the DMX address loads:

Press „Enter" and the „Up" / „Down" buttons to set the desired DMX address.

Laserworld CS-1000RGB MK4 Laserworld CS-1000RGB MK4

The sensitivity can be adjusted between 1 and 100. Standard value is 50.

8.2.6. ILDA / COMPUTER CONTROL

The laser can be used with any laser control software that supports the ILDA control signal via sub-d connector. Use an ILDA cable to connect the Digital Analog Converter (DAC / ILDA interface) of the laser software to the ILDA in port at the laser.

The laser automatically detects if a DAC is connected and switches to ILDA operation. For safety reasons always make sure to first switch the laser to DMX operation mode (See 8.2.4. DMX Operation) before you connect the ILDA cable, to prevent unintended laser emission if the ILDA cable is removed by accident.
