Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.
Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Figure 1 - AC Voltage Switch
Not all fixtures have a voltage
select switch. Please be sure to
connect to the proper voltage.
Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the
line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits
with a suitable Earth Ground.

Product Overview
AC Power Connection:
The unit is supplied with a power pack appropriate to its voltage and destination. It is imperative that
the correct power pack suitable for this unit be used at all times. If any other type of supply is provide
to this unit then it is likel
y
to render the unit non-o
p
erational.
General Instructions
This lighting effect has been designed to function on a 9V DC power and has been supplied with a
suitable AC power pack for use with your local voltage. Check the label on the unit and the power
plug for the correct voltage. When connected to the mains power supply via the power pack and
switched on the unit should illuminate and shoot a <4.95mW single laser. Warning: Do not aim
towards eye.
This unit provides three modes of operation accessible via the functions switch (Fig 1). The three
modes are as follows: Sound Activation, Auto Mode and Manual. In the sound and automatic modes,
the laser will change through sixteen preset patterns. In manual mode, the user can select the pattern
and speed of rotation.

Proper Usage
APPENDIX
This unit has been designed to be hung. It is recommended that, for safety
purposes, your lighting effect are properly mounted using a suitable
hanging clamp and safety cable. CHAUVET offers a range of items, which
are ideal for safe mounting.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide useful instruction on
the proper use of this product.
According to FDA Regulations you should operate the product in the
fashion illustrated below.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of
procedures other than what is specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure
General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
