Section 1: Safety Information
READ THIS FIRST
Keep flammable materials away from the fixture (minimum distance to flammable material is 1 foot / 30 cm).
Place the Virtualine™ LED SWITCH in a location that has good air flow.
Do not look directly into the light source; it is extremely bright.
Always disconnect the fixture from power before performing any service on the unit.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Use only a power source that complies with local building and electrical codes and which has both overload
and ground-fault protection.
Disconnect the fixture from power before handling.
Do not use the fixture if the power cable or power plug is in any way damaged, defective, or wet, or if they
show signs of overheating. If the power cable or plug for the fixture is damaged, it must only be replaced by
Laserglow or an authorized service agent to avoid an electric shock or fire hazard.
The light source contained in this luminaire shall only be replaced by Laserglow or an authorized service
agent.
Light fixtures should be installed and maintained only by qualified personnel with experience in lighting
equipment and general electrical experience.
When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the
weight of all installed devices. Use the safety cable to secure the fixture in addition to the primary mounting
bracket.
The Virtualine™ LED SWITCH is suitable for indoor use only.

Section 2: Unpacking and Inspection
This product was shipped to you wrapped in a double-walled box to protect it from damage during storage and transit.
However, unexpected things can occur during shipping, so it is important to inspect and test your product as soon as it
arrives. Claims for shipping damage must be made within 7 days of receipt. Beyond this time, any damage to the product
will be considered to have occurred while it was in your possession, which may void your warranty.
2. Unpack the Virtualine™ LED SWITCH and power supply: Carefully remove the projector from the box
and inspect it for any physical damage which may have occurred during shipping, then do the same for the
power supply and relay box. If any physical damage or moisture is present, contact Laserglow immediately to report it.
1. Inspect the shipping carton: Look for obvious signs of damage or exposure to moisture. If either are
present, contact Laserglow immediately for instructions on how to proceed. In the unlikely event that the
product is damaged this information may be important for filing a claim with the carrier.
3. Check the contents of the shipment against the packing list: Every fixture¹ includes a mounting
bracket², power supply³, and a relay box
4
. If you ordered multiple products, check the packing list and make
sure that all of the listed items are present. If everything is included and there is no evident damage, proceed
through this manual for instructions on how to set up and install your Virtualine™ LED SWITCH. If there is
any discrepancy, please contact Laserglow immediately.

Section 3: Setup and Operation
You will receive Virtualine with mounting bracket attached
to the unit as shown in fig. Ideally, it is recommended to
use the marked holes to mount the unit on Ceiling or any
other available mounting surface.
CAUTION: The magnets in the magnetic mount accessory are very powerful! Do not allow the magnets to slam together,
as this may damage the magnets and they will be very difficult to separate. NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN
THE MAGNETS AND THE MOUNTING SURFACE OR OTHER MAGNETS. The magnets are strong enough to cause
serious injury! The heatsink on the back of the Virtualine LED SWITCH must be kept clear to allow adequate airflow for
cooling. Do not cover the heatsink with any material.
Then affix the Virtualine™ LED SWITCH to your
mounting surface using hardware designed for that type
of mounting surface (drywall anchors for drywall without a
stud, concrete screws for concrete). Once the fixture is in
place, clear any dust or debris out of the rear heatsink
area before powering on the fixture.
Finally, be sure to loop the included steel safety cable
through the eyelet on the back of the Virtualine™ LED
SWITCH and around the nearest secure object, pipe, or
rail. This is to prevent injury in the unlikely event that the
primary mount fails.
If you purchased the magnetic mount accessory, your
mounting bracket will already have the magnets installed.
Simply stick the magnets to the desired surface and loop
the included steel safety cable around the attachment
point to prevent the fixture from falling if the magnets fail.
The magnets hold with approximately 90 pounds (41 kg)
of force.

VirtuaLine™ SWITCH LED Line Projector

The projected line can be focused by rotating the small
red knob on the back of the fixture. Adjust until the line is
as thin as possible. There will only be one ideal focus
position.

The projector does not have a power switch and it will turn
ON as soon as power is connected with the Relay box.

NOTE: When installing the power supply, do not add cable extensions between the power supply and the light fixture.
The length of cable between the power supply and fixture should be as short as possible (6 feet maximum, 3 feet or less
recommended). Any extensions required to bring power to the projector should be added on the AC side of the power
supply.
MOUNTING RECOMMENDATION
To produce the clearest possible projection, it is recommended that the Virtualine™ LED SWITCH be mounted directly
above the center point of the projected line. Mounting the fixture near one end of the line will cause the far end of the line
to lose focus, which will cause it to appear wider with more blurry edges. Mounting the fixture off to one side of the line,
such as on a wall, will cause the line to appear wider and with more blurry edges, particularly the far edge. In many
environments it will not be possible for the fixture to be mounted directly above the center of the projection, for example
due to obstructions or other obstacles. If this is the case, it is recommended to mount the fixture as near as possible to the
ideal position to minimize distortion of the projected line.
It is normal for the ends of the line produced by the Virtualine™ LED SWITCH to fade out to nothing over a distance, and
for the middle of the line to be the brightest area.

WALL MOUNTING This mounting type will distort the line
projection to an elliptical shape – thicker in the middle,
thinner at the edges.
IDEAL MOUNTING Unit should be mounted
perpendicular to the surface exactly midway of the
desired projected length. E.g. if the unit produces a 20ft
line from the defined mounting height, the unit should be
mounted 10ft away from the start of the line
OFFSET MOUNTING This mounting type will distort the
line projection to a conical shape – thinner closest to the
units, wider it moves away. Also, the line intensity will
scale brighter to fainter as you move further away.
✔
CREATING A PATHWAY USING MULTIPLE UNITS
To create a continuous line, Virtualine™ LED SWITCH
units should be evenly spaced from each other at the
same distance as the projected line length. For optimal
results, the ends of the line from each projector should be
overlapped slightly to create a continuous line as shown
above.

Section 4: Smart Trigger Schematics
VirtuaLine™ SWITCH will only work when connected to a Smart Trigger System. It consists of a Smart Trigger Controller
(Sold Seperately) that will be connected to the Relay Box that came with the VirtuaLine™ SWITCH. Each Fixture will
come with one relay box and switching between the color will be handled by the relay box and Smart Trigger Controller. If
you need more than one projector connected to the same Controller Box, it will have to be "daisy chained" using the
Signal Output port on the Relay Box as indicated on the label. Signal Output from one relay box will be Jumped to Signal
Input of another relay box using Signal extension cable (Ordered Separately, not included in the box).

Solution
Check the electrical source to ensure that it is turned on.
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply to the fixture.
Mount the fixture directly above the midpoint of the line being
projected on the floor, or as close to this point as possible.
Mount the fixture directly above the midpoint of the line being
projected on the floor, or as close to this point as possible. Or adjust
the focus until the projected line is as narrow as possible.
The lens fan angle cannot be changed by the user. Contact Laserglow
