Laser safety for a Class 4 Laser Product
This product is a Class 4 laser with 720 mW visible output.
Class 4 is the highest and most dangerous class of laser, including all lasers that exceed the Class 3B AEL.
By definition, a class 4 laser can burn the skin, or cause devastating and permanent eye damage as a
result of direct, diffuse, specular reflections or indirect beam viewing..
These lasers may ignite combustible materials, and thus may represent a fire risk.
These hazards may also apply to indirect or non-specular reflections of the beam, even from apparently
matte surfaces—meaning that great care must be taken to control the beam path.
Class 4 lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.
CAUTION! Only Laser Safety Officers who are officially certified by a regulatory body or authorized
training organization are allowed to use class 4 lasers in public. The Laser Safety Officer is responsible for
all aspects when using this laser, including following all locally applicable safety laws and regulations. The
manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incorrect installation of this
laser.
CAUTION: AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM: Avoid direct eye contact with laser
light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser radiation.

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 Galactics 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 Panel
Press and turn the control to navigate
through the menus.
Fig. 05
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 24 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+24=25 (025); the DMX address of the third Galactic should be 25+24=49 (049), etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t 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 a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
