Galactic G300
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this
product can potentially cause instant eye injury if not set up and used properly.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still
potentially injure or blind you or your audience.
Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries
can happen quicker than you can blink.
It is incorrect to think that because these laser products split the laser into hundreds of beams or the laser
beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser
product uses dozens of milliWatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally). Many of the individual beams
are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the
laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of
any direct eye exposure. According to the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B lasers in
areas which people can get exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a
dance floor.
CAUTION: AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM: Avoid direct eye contact with laser
light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser radiation.
Compliance Statement

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Galactic will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 13 channels.
When using multiple Galactics, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Galactics should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Galactic should be 1+13=14 (014); the DMX address of the third Galactic should be 14+13=27 (027), etc.
Please, make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Galactic
correctly.
If two or more Galactics are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Galactic fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Galactic will automatically detect whether DMX-512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED“ on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
•The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Galactic.
•The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
