General Operation

Power

Connect the power cord to the device and to the mains. Make sure that your device is provided with the correct voltage. Wrong voltage could lead to irreparable damages. Please find the correct voltage data in the synoptical table at the end of this manual. Make sure that the device is not directed to people or inflammable objects during installation. To start the device, connect the interlocking bridge, insert the key and switch it on, and switch the device on. The “Emission – Laser on“ LED at the front side of the device begins to light up when the device is ready for use.

Key Switch

There is a key switch at the back of the laser system. Please plug the key to the switch and turn it on. The laser device only runs when the key is inserted and switched on. Prevent misuse! Unplug the key when the laser is unattended to prevent misuse of the system.

Fuse

There is a fuse at the back side of the device. If the fuse should blow, please exchange it with a new one. If the problems recur, please contact your dealer or the Laserworld service department.

Modes / Functions

• The different operation modes can be selected via the four buttons next to the „Settings“ display.
• „Enter“ confirms a selection or navigates to the selected menu item.
• „Up“ / „Down“ allows for stepping through the current menu or making a selection.
• „Exit“ exits the current menu item and moves one level higher.

SOUND-TO-LIGHT

The sound-to-light operation allows for playback of the integrated patterns to the beat of the music or any noises. Select „SoUd“ by navigating with the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons and confirm with „Enter“:

The standard selection is „ALL“, which means that all patterns saved on the main board are played back. You can decide to use only a certain part of the pattern set with a certain grating by selecting ALL (for all the gratings), L001, L002, L003, L004, or no grating with L005:

To set the sensitivity of the internal microphone, refer to chapter „4.5. Settings“

STAND-ALONE / AUTO

Stand-alone or Auto operation allows for random playback of the internal patterns. They are played back according to the internal system settings. Select „AUto“ by navigating with the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons and confirm with „Enter“:

The standard selection is „All“, which means that all patterns saved on the main board are played back. You can decide to use only a certain part of the pattern set with a certain grating by selecting ALL (for all the gratings), L001, L002, L003, L004, or no grating with L005:

MASTER-SLAVE

This laser is Master-Slave capable. This means that the Master laser system can hand on a control signal to one or more Slave lasers, so all do the same. Master-Slave only works with lasers of the same product series of the same product generation.

Link lasers with DMX cable

To use Master-Slave operation, link the Master with the Slave lasers with DMX cables. Make sure to use the „DMX out“ port on the Master and the „DMX in“ on the Slave lasers. If several Slave lasers are used, link the first one to the Master laser and daisy-chain the control signal from the first Slave laser to the second, etc..

Activate Master Laser

The Master laser needs to be set as the control source. Select „Set“ by navigating with the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons and confirm with „Enter“:

• Use the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons to navigate to „uASt“
• Press „Enter“, use the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons to switch the option to „on“ and confirm with „Enter“

Deactivate the Master setting on Slave lasers

As soon as the Master option is set to „on“, the laser sends out the control signal for the Slave units. Make sure that all Slave units have the Master setting set to „off “:

Set Sound-to-Light or Auto mode on Master laser

• To use the Master-Slave operation: set the Master to either Sound-to-Light mode (4.1) or Auto mode (4.2.).

Establish a link to Slave lasers

• The Slave units must be set to DMX („d512“) mode and must be assigned address 001 (see 4.4. DMX 512)

DMX 512

The DMX mode requires a DMX controller or a Master laser (see 4.3. Master- Slave operation) to be connected to the laser. To switch to DMX mode, select „d512“ by navigating with the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons and confirm with „Enter“:

• The submenu for setting the DMX address loads:
• Press „Enter“ and the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons to set the desired DMX address.
• Confirm with „Enter“ and press „Exit“ to return to the main menu.

DMX Chart

The laser uses 14 DMX channels, so make sure that the next device uses an address that doesn’t overlap with this range.

SETTINGS

• To access the settings, select „SEt“ by navigating with the „Up“ / „Down“ buttons and confirm with „Enter“:
• The settings menu holds several configuration options for the laser system.

Master Setting

• The „uAST“ menu allows for the activation and deactivation of the Master mode for the laser.

• If the laser is set to Master > On, then it can be used as a Master device in a Master-Slave setup. See more in „4.3. Master-Slave“.

• Press „Enter“ to change the settings. Use the „Up“ / „Down“ button to change the selection.

• Confirm with „Enter“.

Safety Setting

The „bEAu“ menu can switch the beam block safety on and off. The beam block safety prevents that very intense, single beams can be displayed. It is highly recommended to not switch this feature off. Switching off the beam block safety is at your own risk! Lasers with switched-off beam block safety may only be used in safe areas. Always respect the local laws! Press „Enter“ to change the settings. Use the „Up“ / „Down“ button to change the selection.

• Confirm with „Enter“.

Orientation Setting

• The „InuE“ menu controls the orientation of the projection. You can invert the projection and flip it to match the orientation of the laser with the content.
• Press „Enter“ to change the settings. A test picture is shown to represent the currently set orientation. Use the „Up“ / „Down“ button to change the selection, and confirm the selection with „Enter“ to change the test picture projection.
• Press „Exit“ to return to the settings menu.

Microphone Sensitivity Settings

The sensitivity of the built-in microphone for the control of the sound-to- light operation can be adjusted in the „SEnS“ menu. Press „Enter“ to change the settings. Use the „Up“ / „Down“ button to change the selection.

• The sensitivity can be adjusted between 1 and 100. The standard value is 50.

ILDA / COMPUTER CONTROL

The laser can be used with any laser control software that supports the ILDA control signal via sub-d connector. Use an ILDA cable to connect the Digital Analog Converter (DAC / ILDA interface) of the laser software to the ILDA in port at the laser. To operate the laser in ILDA mode the „ILdA“ menu must be selected. Press „Enter“ to change the settings.

Grating Effects Settings in ILDA mode – DMX grating control on ILDA

Once ILDA mode is selected, the standard selection is „L001“, which means that the laser will automatically switch through the grating effects. A certain grating effect can be selected with L002, L003, L004. If L005 is selected there is no grating effect.

• Use the „Up“ / „Down“ button to change the selection:

Select „d512“ and press Enter if you want to control grating effects with DMX while working on ILDA mode. You must previously set a DMX address as specified in „4.4 DMX 512“ section.
