SAFETY INFORMATION
• Never operate this unit if it has a damaged cord or plug.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
• For indoor use only. Keep in a cool dry place with a temperature of not more than 95˚F.
• Continuous operation of over 4 hours will shorten the life of the laser.
• Do not shake the xture once it is secured in place.
• The lens at the aperture can collect dirt and dust that will decrease the power output. Clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not remove the warranty sticker.
• Do not dismantle the product. There are no user-serviceable parts.
Fuse Replacement:
Disconnect the power plug. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder. Take out the burnt fuse and replace it with one
of the same type. Replacing the fuse with a different type will cause damage and will void the warranty.

FUNCTION INTRODUCTION
SOUND ACTIVE: The laser projector is activated by sound. The sound sensitivity is adjustable by the sensor knob.
If there is no sound for 7 seconds, laser output is automatically shut off.
AUTO: The laser projector runs the built-in programs automatically. When in this mode, the laser cannot
shut off automatically.
DMX CONTROL: The unit is controllable by any standard DMX 512 controller for laser on/off, static pattern size,
dynamic pattern speed, pattern position, scanning speed and more.
FUNCTION SETTINGS
SOUND ACTIVE: Triggered by sound only.
AUTO MODE: Default program, not subject to change with external controls.
SLAVE: Controlled by Master only.
DMX MODE: Controlled by DMX512 console only.
Set the system function with the DIP switch.

ADDRESS SETTING
In binary systems, there are only two numbers. 0 meaning “OFF” and 1 meaning “ON”. The numbers increase by
multiplying the previous value by 2. Positions from DIP switch #1 to DIP switch #9 signify binary value from a lower to
higher position.

GENERAL OPERATION
1. If in DMX mode, use the correct DMX address assignment.
2. Connect the projector and DMX512 console with the DMX signal cable. In Stand Alone mode, there is
no DMX input required.
3. Once powered on, the laser emits a beam in 2 seconds.
4. The laser can be controlled to play and edit programs by 1) a DMX controller in DMX mode, by 2) default program in
auto mode, and 3) in sound active mode if the sound sensitivity knob is correctly adjusted.

MASTER / SLAVE MODES
1. Stand Alone via Master or Sound / Master Auto, then no console is needed. Laser will follow sounds
or the default program.
2. DIP switch mode settings.
MASTER SOUND: #10-0, #1-0, #2-0
MASTER AUTO: #10-0, #1-1, #2-0
SLAVE: #10-0, #1-0, #2-1
3. Use XLR to XLR cable to connect the Master’s DMX output with the DMX Input of the rst Slave, and then output of the
rst Slave with input of second Slave until all the Slaves are connected in this way.
4. The projector can be controlled to play shows by default program in Auto mode, and in Master Sound mode if the sound
sensitivity knob is kept in the proper position.
NOTES:
1. Via Master/Slave mode, there should be only one Master and no DMX512 controller.
2. Power on the Slaves, then the Master.

DMX MODE
1. Use a standard DMX512 controller in DMX Mode.
2. Set the DIP switch in corresponding position, that is DMX Mode: #1 through #10.
3. Use XLR-XLR cable to connect DMX512 controller with the DMX input of rst projector, and then connect output of the
rst projector with input of second projector until all the projectors are connected in this way.
4. Two seconds after master is turned on, it emits a beam.
