Frequently Asked Questions - EL400RGB MK2 Laserworld

How to turn on the EL400RGB MK2 laser projector?

Connect the power cable, connect the Interlock connector, insert the safety key and turn it to ON, then switch on the device. The 'Emission - Laser on' LED lights up when the device is ready.

What operating modes are available?

The modes are: automatic (AUt0, AUt1, AUt2), music (SoU0), DMX (16 or 36 channels), ILDA, and master-slave.

How to set up DMX mode?

Set the device to A001 on the display, choose the DMX address (001-511) with the Up/Down buttons, then select DMX mode CH16 (16 channels) or CH36 (36 channels).

What safety precautions should be observed?

Never look directly into the laser beam. Use the device only indoors and for professional use. Observe safety distances and the maximum permissible exposure (MPE). Use the interlock and safety key.

How to clean the laser device?

Clean the output window occasionally with glass cleaner. Ensure that fans and heatsinks are free of dust. Avoid moisture and water spray.

What to do if the fuse blows?

Replace the fuse with a new one of the same type. If the problem persists, contact your dealer or Laserworld after-sales service.

How to use master-slave mode?

Choose one device as master by setting it to Sound or Automatic mode. The other devices must be set to DMX mode (A001). Connect them with a standard XLR cable. The slaves reflect the master's behavior.

What is the power of the EL400RGB MK2 laser?

The guaranteed total optical power is 400 mW, with red (650 nm), green (532 nm), and blue (445 nm) sources.

How to disable Scan Safety (SFS)?

Enter test mode on the display (long press ENTER), then select the submenu 'Beon' to activate or 'BeoF' to deactivate. By default, SFS is activated.

Where is the device's serial number located?

The serial number is on the safety label attached to the laser housing, usually on the back or side.

2. Make sure that the device is not connected to mains during installation.
3. Installation has to be done by technical experienced and qualified persons according to safety regulations of the respective country.
4. Always ensure that maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in areas accessible to the public or members of staff.
5. In some countries an additional inspection by technical control institutes could be necessary.

6. Connect an easily accessible inter-lock connector or circuit breaker to the projector.

7. The power supply should be easily accessible.

8. When installing the laser mount it with a minimum distance of 15 cm from walls and objects.
9. 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.

cally switched sockets. Whenever possible, do not use the laser projector together with large appliances (especially fog machines) on the same mains!

1. Ensure sufficient ventilation and do not place the device on any warm or heat radiating surface. Especially the ventilation openings must not be covered!

2. 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.

3. This unit is intended for indoor use only.

4. Working on the device

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

3. Take off all reflecting things like rings, watches, etc. before starting to work with or at the projector.

4. Only use non-reflecting tools to work on device.

5. Warning concerning back reflection:

6. Semiconductor laser sources (diodes) are by their nature particularly sensitive to back reflections. Direct or diffused laser radiation from external laser sources can lead to the irreversible extinction / damage of individual or all laser diodes in a projector.

7. Under no circumstances should a laser projector project a laser beam directly into an opposing projector at the same time. It is up to the user to determine either the orientation / position of the devices or to adapt the programming in such a way that two opposite projectors do not shoot into each other.

8. Wear protective clothing (like goggles, gloves etc.) according to laser power and wavelength of the laser.

5. Service notes

- Moisture and heat can reduce lifetime of the laser system dramatically and expires any warranty claim.

- Quick on/off switching of this device will reduce durability of the laser diode dramatically.

6. General Operation

1. Power

Connect the power cord to the device and to the mains. Make sure that your device is provided with the correct voltage. Wrong voltage could lead to irreparable damages. Please find the correct voltage data in the synoptical table at the end of this manual. Make sure that the device is not directed to people or inflammable objects during installation. To start the device, connect the interlock bridge, insert the key and switch it on, and switch the device on. The "Emission - Laser on" LED at the front side of the device begins to light up when the device is ready for use.

2. Key Switch

There is a key switch at the back of the laser system. Please plug the key to the switch and turn it on. The laser device only runs when the key is inserted and switched on. Prevent misuse! Unplug the key when the laser is unattended to prevent misuse of the system.

3. Fuse

There is a fuse at the back side of the device. If the fuse should blow, please exchange it with a new one. If the problems recurs, please contact your dealer or the Laserworld service department.

4. Safety Presets

This device has an integrated Scan Safety (SFS). Is the Scan Safety active (on), single beams are prevented. If the Scan Safety is switched off, it is possible to create full power single beams - be careful.

Operating the laser system with disabled SFS may not be allowed in some countries. Always ensure that maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in areas accessible to the public or members of staff.

To enable or disable SFS enter test mode in the display, then select „Beon”/“BeoF” sub-menu.
