Safety instructions
If 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 s illed
and well-trained operator.
Never leave this device running unattended and eep it away from children and unauthorized persons.
Keep away from heaters and other heat sources. In order to safeguard sufficient ventilation, leave 50
cm of free space around the device.
Never direct the laser beam to people or animals.
CAUTION LASER DIODE: If 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 WILL
cause eye damage. So these laser series models supplied with a ey switch to prevent unauthorized
use, warning labels and aperture labels affixed to the laser.
Installation 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. If 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.
When setting up the laser, ma e sure the laser is affixed firmly, to avoid vibrations.

OPERATING THE LASER
Don’t remove the warranty/serial number label - removal voids warranty
The operator has to ma e sure that laser radiation – for laser class 4 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.)
Ma e sure to use the correct voltage. Use a power soc et with earth/ground. Don’t use dimmer,
RC, or other electronically switched soc ets. Whenever possible, don’t use the laser together with
large appliances, especially fog machines, on the same mains!
If the device is used in a flying installation, the mounting brac ets and an appropriate safety-rope
must be afixed.
In 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!
If 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 li e short-circuit, burns, electric shoc , etc.
Keep surrounding dry and clean. This unit should be eep dry, do not use in the rain or damp and
dusty environment, don’t put liquid fileld containers on the device. Projector should be put in a water-
proof housing when operated outside.
Regularly open the device (see “cleaning” further down) to chec 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 . In a new installation, chec after some 15-30 minutes whether
the outlet air gets too warm. Regularly chec 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 loo 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 bro en, please contact your dealer.
When returning laser to dealer/manufacturer always use original pac aging.
Maintenance should be performed every 15-day period. See “cleaning” further down.
To ensure maximum lifetime of the laser:
Don’t overheat the laser:
•Always ensure good ventilation
•Don’t have stage lights (especially moving heads) directed towards the laser
•Regularly clean the fans and the interior from dust
•In a new installation chec the temperature after 30 minutes of operation
Keep the laser dry
•Ma e sure fog/hazer fluid doesn’t condensate inside the laser - fog has to be in front of the
laser – not inside
•A few days after (each new) installation, open the cover to chec if fluids condensate inside
•If fluids condensate inside, reposition the laser or fogger/hazer
Turn the device off, when not used. The diode is on, when the device is on. Even if it is not lit.

If the laser is equipped with a remote connector, connect an emergency switch to the Remote loc
connector on the bac side, if no emergency switch is used, insert the 9 pin dongle instead. If the laser
has no remote loc , use an emergency switch in the mains connection.
Using the laser
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or erformance of rocedures other than those
s ecified herein may result in hazardous radiation ex osure.
Ma e sure the correct voltage is used. Connect mains.
Connect an emergency switch to the Remote loc connector on the bac side, the switch has to
interrupt the connection between pins 1 and 2 to turn off the laser. If no emergency switch is used,
insert the 9 pin dongle instead. If the 9 pin dongle is used, use an emergency switch in the mains
connection.
Depending on the mode selected (see below), laser light should come out of the opening on the front
panel – be careful.

•MODE: select mode, or go up in menu
•ENTER: confirm changes, or go down in menu
•UP/ DOWN: change DMX address
O erating modes:
“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.
Laser: On/Off, when off, the laser is off in DMX mode (only ILDA mode available)
X/Y-Axis: invert output horizontally / vertically

ILDA mode
When an IDLA compatible interface is connected to the laser, the laser is automatically switched to
ILDA mode. Output is then controlled from a PC running software.
The laser uses pins 4 and 17 of the IDLA signal to detect the presence of an ILDA interface.
Further information can be found in the software manual.

Maintenance / cleaning
Always disconnect from mains before cleaning/opening the laser. Regularly clean the interior from
dust, especially ensure operation of the fans. Use a sponge with alcohol, rather than wet cloth or
other chemical liquid, to clean the mirrors. Be careful, even light scratches reduce the output power of
the laser. 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.

Change scanner
1. Unscrew UK M6 screws and disconnect
signal cable.
2. Loosen M4 x 10 screw and remove galvo.
3. Insert galvo, reconnect and fix signal
cable.
4. Rotate galvo to center projection. Fix
galvo.
Adjustable mirror mounts
1. Loosen setscrews, then adjust with X/Y
adjustable screws. Ma e sure beam is
centered on scanner mirrors.
2. Adjust Z-screw simultaneously.
3. Tighten setscrews.
4. When combining beams (RGY/RGB laser),
first ma e 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).

See below
Laser does not switch to ILDA mode:
•The interface does not connect pins 4 and 17 (Interloc ) of the IDLA signal. See interface manual
•The cable does not connect pins 4 and 17. Use a cable that connects pins 4 and 17.
•Use an adapter, that connects pins 4 and 17.
