SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
After completing setup, and before public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do
not use if any defects are detected. Do not use if the laser emits only a few laser beams rather
than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and
could allow emission of laser intensity levels that exceed Class 3R.
• Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or directly at laser
beams.
• Do not point lasers into areas with a high risk of unintentional or harmful exposure, such as uncon-
trolled balconies, etc.
• Do not point lasers at highly reective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even
laser reections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft. This is a federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use if the laser appears to be emitting only a few beams.
• Do not use if the housing is damaged, the housing is 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 res, burn skin, and will cause instantaneous eye injury.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
• The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and
well-trained operator who is familiar with the information enclosed in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to coun-
try. The user is responsible for determining the legal requirements at the location/country
of use.
• Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.

INSTALLATION
DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construc-
tion codes and regulations.
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold at least 10 times the
weight of the unit and any attached accessories without any deformation. The unit must be secured
with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriately-rated safety cable.
Before rigging/mounting a single fixture to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any
surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure
or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and
accessories.
Maximum ambient operating temperature is 104°F (40°C).
Fixture(s) should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized
personnel might reach the fixture by hand.
NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.
Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriately rated safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, knowl-
edge of installation material being used, and perodic safety inspection of all installation material as
well as the unit itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
The installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

INSTALLATION
CLAMP MOUNTING
This fixture features an adjustable mounting bracket with a built-in mounting clamp attachment point.
Additionally, the unit also features a safety cable loop located at the base of the mounting bracket
(see the illustration below). When mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead
installation, be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the mounting bracket,
and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate weight rating to the provided safety cable
loop.
SAFETY CABLE:
ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIX-
TURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE
WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.

The adjustable mounting bracket allows the fixture’s lens to be aimed vertically, horizontally, or any
angle in between. After positioning your device as desired, make sure to tighten the bracket adjust-
ment knob to ensure that the unit is firmly secured in place.
NOTICE: The maximum ambient operational temperature for this lighting fixture is 104˚ F (40˚ C). Do
not place this lighting fixture in an environment where the temperatures exceed this value. This will
allow the fixture to run at its best and help prolong the fixture life.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)
NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout
the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for
lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the xtures to be modied and monitored remotely. This proto-
col is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.
With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled con-
troller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the xture to respond (known as
a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typi-
cally have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address,
DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important
to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the fea-
tures that you require.

DMX SET UP
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of commu-
nication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions
from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via
the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have
a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are
DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when linking several DMX fixtures. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not
influence the DMX addressing. For example, a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed
anywhere in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is
assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that
unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): This unit can be controlled via DMX-
512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. We recommend Accu-Cable
DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded
cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made
with a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector at the other. Also remember that
DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow the illustration below when making your own cables. Do not use the ground
lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the
shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a
short circuit and erratic behavior.

17
DMX SET UP
Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termi-
nator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is
connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted
in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable
terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will reduce the risk of erratic behavior.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA trans-
mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line by using a
cable adapter. These adaptors are readily available at most electronics stores. The chart below de-
tails a proper cable conversion.

18
DMX SET UP
DMX ADDRESSING.
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fix-
ture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from
which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The
assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digi-
tal control display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses
for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react
in the same way. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simul-
taneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the set-
tings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
For example, when operating this unit in 6-channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of
the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (1 + 6 + 6), and so on. See the chart
below for more details.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP
This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit
will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any
unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can
be programmed to act as the Primary.
Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR
data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and
the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR
connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
2. Use the display screen and control panel to navigate to the “Primary / Secondary” setting in the
main menu. Select this setting using the ENTER button, and use the arrows to toggle between
“Primary”, “Secondary1”, and “Secondary2”. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each unit in the system. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the
Primary, while all other units are designated as Secondaries.
4. The secondary units will act in conjunction with the primary unit. Note that secondary units set to
the “Secondary1” setting will follow the motions of the primary, while those set to the “Secondary2”
setting will move in contrast to the primary.
