SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
f the device has been exposed to great temperature changes, do not switch it on
immediately. Condensation water may damage your device. Leave the device
switched off until it has reached room temperature.
The laser must only be used for shows. Any operation has to be attended and
supervised by a skilled and well-trained operator.
Never leave this device running unattended and keep it away from children and
unauthorized persons.
Keep away from heaters and other heat sources. n order to safeguard sufficient
ventilation, leave 50 cm of free space around the device.
Never direct the laser beam to people or animals.
CAUT ON LASER D ODE: f you open the device for cleaning, always disconnect from
mains!
-HEALTH HAZARD! Never look directly into the light source, as
sensitive ersons may suffer an e ile tic shock!
These lasers are considered a definite eye hazard,
particularly at the higher power levels, which W LL cause
eye damage. So these laser series models supplied with a
key switch to prevent unauthorized use, warning labels
and aperture labels affixed to the laser.
nstallation safety
Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the
beams and effects should be considered, particularly with
respect to how they will reach the audience. f direct audience scanning is desired, then the

laser energy in the effects needs to be considered to decide if the effects are safe for direct
viewing. Always ensure, that the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in
the area accesible to the public. So install the laser in such a way, that minimum distances
and heights ensure the MPE is never exceeded in the public area.
OPERATING THE LASER
The operator has to make sure that laser radiation – also reflected laser radiation – higher
than the maximum permissible level is avoided by technical or organisational measures.
(Especially with respect to the MPE, see above.)
Make sure to use the correct voltage
f the device is used in a flying installation, the mounting brackets and an appropriate safety-
rope must be fixed.
n some countries, the operator must notify the accidence insurance and the authority for
industrial safety, before operating a laser. For more information, contact the relevant
authorities.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are strictly forbidden due to
safety reasons!
f this device will be operated in any way differently than described in this manual, the
product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other
operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.
Keep surrounding dry and clean. This unit should be keep dry, do not use in the rain or
damp and dusty environment. Projector should be put in a water-proof housing when
operated outside.
Regularly open the device (see “cleaning” further down) to check for dust inside, or if fog
fluid condenses in the housing (if so rearrange hazer and/or laser position).
Operating temperature is 10~35°C. n a new installation, check after some 15-30 minutes
whether the outlet air gets too warm. Regularly check the inside for dust deposits, especially
around the fans. Let laser cool off 10minutes after 2 hours of operation,to ensure maximum
lifetime for the diode.
Distance between laser aperture and projection screen should be not less than 1 meter.
Do not turn device on and immediately off again frequently.
Do not look into the laser beam directly, especially not with optical instruments.
Do not touch the device with wet hands.
When the laser diode becomes dim or broken, please
contact your dealer timely.
When returning laser to dealer/manufacturer always use
original packaging.
Maintenance should be performed every 15-day period.
See “cleaning” further down.
Using the laser
Make sure the correct voltage is used. Connect mains.
Connect an emergency switch to the 9-pin conector on the
backside (pins 1, 2). f you do not wish to connect an
emergency switch, connect the 9-pin plug. Depending on
the mode selected (see below), laser light should come
out of the opening on the front panel – be careful.

Control anel
•MODE: select mode, or go up in menu
•ENTER: confirm changes, or go down in menu
•UP/ DOWN: change DMX address
O erating modes:
Automatic mode: built-in patterns are displayed
Music active: laser is controlled from built-in microphone
“DMXAddr“: DMX512 mode-. Here you can change the DMX address:
“Open“: change address
“Up“ & “down“: increase/decrease address
“Save“: save new address
“LCD display memory function“: save settings automatically.
ILDA mode
When an DLA compatible interface is connected to the laser, the laser is automatically
switched to LDA mode. Output is then controlled from a PC running software.
The laser uses pins 4 and 17 of the DLA signal to detect the presence of an LDA interface.
Further information can be found in the software manual.

you may damage the scanners! When using with different scanspeed/scanangle
readjustment of the scanner drivers may be necessary, if in doubt, contact your dealer.

Maintenace / cleaning
Always disconnect from mains before cleaning/opening the laser. You can open the device
by removing the top: remove the mounting bracket (4 quick locks), the 5 Philips screws, and
the eye bolt.
Regularly clean the interior from dust, especially ensure operation of the fans. To clean the
mirrors, ideally use acetone and lens cleaning paper (fold paper to get an edge with which to
clean the mirrors). f not available, you can also use window cleaner, and a paper towel. Be
careful, even light scratches reduce the output power of the laser; always clean with strokes
in one direction, to minimize the effect of scratches. Mirrors need cleaning, when a “halo” is
noticeable around the beam, or an unusual high amount of diffuse light can be seen inside
the device.
When fog fluid condenses in the device, clean all traces, and rearrange the position of hazer
and/or laser.

1. Loosen setscrews, then adjust with X/Y
adjustable screws. Make sure beam is
centered on scanner mirrors.
2. Adjust Z-screw simultaneously.
3. Tighten setscrews.
4. When combining beams (RGY/RGB laser),
first make sure the beams are (roughly) on
the same spot on the mirrors/dichros. Then
use a test pattern (e.g. rectangle) to do fine
adjustment. For adjustments, always turn
output power down (if possible).
