DMX-512 connection between fixtures
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Thesockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded
twisted-pair cable designed for3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixtureor one fixture with
another.
XLR-connection
Building a serial DMX-chain
If you are using a standard DMX-controller, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of
the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter
cables. (DMX controller not supplied).
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect output
with the input of the nextfixture until all fixtures are connected.
If you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3pins adapter.
The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMXcircuit, when power is disconnected to the unit.
Each fixture needs to have a DMX address to receive the data from the controller. The DMX address number which could be
read from rear panel of each fixture is between 000~511.

Proper laser set up &usage
This fixture has been designed to be hung. It is recommended for safety purposes,your lighting effect are properly mounted using a
suitable hanging clamp andsafety cable. Items appropriate for safe and effective mounting are easilysourced from your lighting
vendor.
International laser safety regulations require that lasers must be operated in thefashion illustrated below, with a minimum of 3
meters (9.8 ft) of vertical separationbetween the floor and the lowest laser light vertically. Additionally, 2.5 meters ofhorizontal
separation is required between laser light and audience or other publicspaces.

1. Laser output –Laser output aperture
2. Power –Main power indicated LED. Red is ON
3. Music/IR –Synchronize to detected music signal / IR indicator
(flashing for each signal received)
4. IR –Infrared remote receiver
5. Cooling fan –cooling the unit. Never cover this fan outlet
6. Hanging bracket –2 knobs on each side to fasten the unit
and a mounting hole to fix a mounting clamp.

Operating Mode
When the laser is powered on, the LCD monitor on rear panel shows the current operating standalone mode, DMX address or
Slave mode. With help of the LCD control panel, it is very easy to set and change the operating mode of the laser. The next time
the laser is powered on it will show the last setting used before the laser was powered off.
Mode Option, to choose the operating mode of laser.
Confirmation, to confirm the selected mode.
UP/DOWN, to change operating mode, parameter or DMX address.

DMX MODE
Press FUNC to enter the MODE selection
The LED panel will show 001 for DMX mode
Press ENTER to confirm the setting
Now the laser is working in DMX mode.
Use the up/down buttons to select the DMX address
001 - 496.
Note: In DMX MODE, once the DMX cable is connected to the laser and DMX controller, the DMX LED on the front panel will be
ON.

DMX address
Each unit uses 17 DMX channels. To select the desired DMX address press the menu button until DMX mode is displayed, then
press the enter button to access the DMX channel menu.
This example shows how to set the start address to 001 but use the same formula to set address at different numbers.
At the top of the menu address #*** is displayed, use the up down buttons until 001 is shown and press the enter button to confirm.
Now this unit has the DMX starting address of 001. If all units are to be controlled exactly the same set all units to address 001.
If individual control of units is required each unit must have its own starting address and must be at least 17 channels apart . None
of the channels must cross. E.g. Set the first unit to 001 the second unit to 018 and so on each unit is 17 channels apart. Now the
DMX controller will control all the units seperatley.
SLAVE MODE
Press FUNC to enter the MODE selection
Use the up/down buttons to select SLA for Slave mode
Press ENTER to confirm the setting
Now the laser is working in SLAVE MODE. Connect the MASTER laser with several SLAVE lasers using a DMX cable. The SLAVE
lasers will produce exactly the same laser show as MASTER laser.
REM MODE (Remote Optional)
Press FUNC to enter the MODE selection
Use the up/down buttons to select REM for Remote mode
Press ENTER to confirm the setting
Please check Remote Instruction for remote control details.
