crucial to avoiding laser eye injury and breaking the law. Keep this User Manual
in a safe place
for future reference.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
•Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety considerations. Permanent eye injury and
blindness is possible if lasers are used incorrectly. Pay close attention to each safety
REMARK and WARNING statement in this User Manual. Read all instructions carefully

or malfunction. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center.
•To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve the lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the products from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
CAUTION! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than THOSE specified IN
THIS USER MANUAL may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Chauvet requires the placement of sandbags on the base of the stand for added
stability.
•DO NOT go past the printed stopping point on the mast.
•
DO NOT over-tighten the knob at the tripod mounting insertion point, as it may
damage the mast of the stand.
•DO NOT use this stand in any way that it was not intended.

•Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to
direct laser light.
•This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly
strikes the eyes.
•It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the audience or
other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
•It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
•Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!

burns, and fires.
Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not
set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than
any other kind
of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still
injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light
at
long distances are are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser
beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off
from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—
Class 3B
levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual
Class 3R
level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk
. Since eye
injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY
direct eye exposure.
According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where
people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at
a dance
floor.

GigBAR 2 User Manual Rev. 7 Page 13 of 156
•Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technical
data in this manual.
•ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8
feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage section of this
manual.
•After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensure they are functioning properly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
•DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
•DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
•DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
•DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them..
•DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal.
Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
•Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
•Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
•Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
•Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing
can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
•Never leave this product running unattended.
•The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled
and well-trained professional, who is familiar with the data included in this manual.
•The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country.
The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.
CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow the
instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste
management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

3. SETUP
AC Power
The GigBAR 2 has an internal auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage
range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (
circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use
the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to
Technical
Specificationsin this manual. The listed current rating indicates the product
’s average current
draw under normal conditions.
•
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product
has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
•To eliminate wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-
use completely
disconnect from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Fuse
Replacement
Disconnect the product from power.
Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
Remove the blown fuse from the holder.
Replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.
The product does not ship with a spare fuse; however, the safety cap has room for a spare.
Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating.

Footswitch
Battery
The wireless footswitch uses a 12-volt battery located under the battery cover on the bottom of
the product, which can be replaced when necessary.
Battery
Replacement
To replace the battery in the wireless footswitch:
1. Turn the power switch to the Off position.
2. Remove the battery cover by removing 2 screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
3. Remove the old battery from the housing and unplug it from the leads.
4. Replace with a new 12-volt battery, ensuring that the positive (+) and negative (-) leads correspond to
the correct electrodes on the battery.
5. Place the battery into the housing and cover with the battery cover.
6. Secure the battery cover with the 2 Phillips-head screws.
Do NOT overtighten the screws!
Power Linking
Power linking is when products are daisy chained together through the power in and power out
plugs, allowing many products to be powered from one wall outlet.
Up to 8 GigBAR 2
products can be power linked at 120 V, and up to
15 GigBAR 2 products can be power linked at 230 V.
Do not power link more than 8 GigBAR 2 on 120 V.
Do not power link more than 15 GigBAR 2 on 230 V.
