Safety Instructions
CAUTION!
ELECTRIC SHOCK WARNING!
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING WIRES.
This device has been delivered in safe working condition. In order to maintain this
condition and to ensure safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to
follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual.
Important:
Damage caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty.
The dealer will not accept liability for any resulting defects or problems.
If the device has been exposed to temperature changes, do not switch it on
immediately. The arising condensation could damage the device. Leave the device
switched off until it has reached room temperature, and is dry.
This device falls under protection-class I, therefore it is essential that the device be
grounded. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualied technician.
The device should only be used with rated voltage and frequency. Make sure that
the available voltage is not higher than 120V as stated at the end of this manual.
Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged in any way, as this could
cause shock and damage. If your power cord is damaged in any way, please
purchase a new cable from your local MICROH dealer. Always disconnect power,
when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Never pull out the plug by
tugging the power cord.
During initial start-up, some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process,
and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective. It should decrease
gradually. Please do not project the beam onto combustible substances.
Fixtures cannot be installed on or near combustible substances. Keep more than
50cm distance from wall for proper ventilation and air ow. If your xture is or has
become damaged in any way, it shall be exclusively replaced or repaired by the
manufacturer to avoid any hazard.
CAUTION!
Never touch the device during operation!
The housing may heat up!
CAUTION!
Never look directly into light source,
as sensitive persons may suffer from an epileptic shock.
CAUTION!
The electric connection must only be carried out by a qualied electrician

Mounting and Installation
Caution: For added protection, mount the xtures in areas outside walking paths,
seating areas, or in areas were the xture might be reached by unauthorized
personnel. Before mounting the xture to any surface, make sure that the
installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment,
such as an appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the device when
mounting, removing, or servicing the xture.
Whether installing inverted on a truss / ceiling or set on a at level surface (see
illustration below). Be sure this xture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 ft.) away from any
ammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the supplied safety
cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event
the clamp fails.
Mounting Points: Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including
calculating working load limits. A knowledge of the installation material being
used and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the xture are
all imperative and should only be performed by a qualied technician. Improper
installation can result in bodily injury and damage.
Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the
main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
Clamp Mounting: The MICROH PLASMAWAVE 1 RGB provides a unique
mounting bracket assembly that integrates 2 brackets to be used to mount on
a truss or the oor. When mounting this xture to truss, be sure to secure an
appropriately rated clamp to the included bracket tted through the center hole.
As an added safety measure, be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety
cable to the xture.

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your MICROH PLASMAWAVE,
always be sure to secure your xture with a safety cable. The xture provides a
built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging bracket as illustrated above.
Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never
secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.
Proper Usage: This product is for overhead mounting only. For safety purposes,
MICROH DJ recommends mounting lighting effect products on steady elevated
platforms or sturdy overhead supports using suitable hanging clamps. In all cases,
use safety cables. Obtain appropriate mounting hardware from your lighting ven-
dor.
International laser safety regulations require that laser products must be oper-
ated in the fashion illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of vertical
separation between the oor and the lowest laser light. Additionally, 3 meters of
horizontal separation is required between laser light and audience or other public
spaces.
CAUTION!
Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specied in this
user manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

DMX512 Control Data Connection:
This xture complies with international USITT DMX standards and can be used
with a 3 pin DMX connector. Plug in the provided 3 pin XLR cable to the female
3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input
of the LED battery par light. To connect the units to DMX, you must daisy chain
the xtures together as referred in the diagram below. Always end your DMX-512
connection with a DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance, or is in an
electrically noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The
DMX terminator is simply an XLR a 120 120 Ω resistor connected between pins
2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last xture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below:
ILDA Control Mode
• This unit has the ILDA DB25 port, and it can be controlled by the PC, There is auto
transform set in the inside of the unit to transform the ILDA and pre programmed
show. When connecting with the 25 pin cable, the unit will be control by PC,
when disconnect the unit, it will be pre programmed program control.
• In theory, as long as the ILDA DB25 is connected, It can control this unit. In
the reality, some laser software may not control this unit. Pins 4 and 17 on the
output of the card are not connected. In fact this is an easy problem. As long
as you connect them. It can control this unit.

Maintenance And Cleaning
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1. All screws for installing the device or parts of the device must be tightly
connected, and must not be corroded.
2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, colour lenses,  xations or
installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3. Mechanically moved parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not
rotate with unbalances.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue
or sediments.
Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage must be handled
by a skilled installer or technician. Any safety issues must be resolved.
CAUTION!
Disconnect power before servicing.
In order to keep the  xture in good condition and extend the life, we suggest regular
cleaning to the  xture.
1. Clean the inside and outside lens each week to avoid the light output from
darkening due to accumulation of dust, dirt, etc.
2. Clean the fan each week.
3. A detailed electrical check by approved technician every three months is
advised. Ensure the circuit contacts are in good condition.
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint-free
cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Please refer to the instructions
under “Installation instructions”.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine MICROH parts from your
local dealer.
