Safety instructions

Intended use

This device is intended for use as an electronic lighting effect by means of LED technology and for the projection of laser light effects. The device is designed for professional use only and is not suitable for use in households. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.

This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.

Extend the operating life of the device by regular breaks and by avoiding frequent switching on and off. The device is not suitable for continuous operation

Laser safety basics

It is based on DIN EN 60825-1: 2015. The corresponding accident prevention regulation of the professional association in Germany is DGUV V11.

This device uses a class-2M laser.

Safety

DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
DANGER!
Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam
The device uses a class-2M laser, classified according to EN 60825-1:2015. In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
NOTICE!
Laser radiation – risk of fire
Keep the area exposed to laser radiation free from flammable substances.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specified in the chapter
‘Technical specifications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature fluctuations and do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed to temperature fluctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by qualified service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other malfunction.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

NOTICE!
Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse
The use of different types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire hazard! Only fuses of the same type may be used.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity
Incorrectly inserted batteries may destroy the device or the batteries. Ensure that proper polarity is observed when inserting bat‐teries.
NOTICE!
Possible damage by leaking batteries
Leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the device. Take batteries out of the device if it is not going to be used for a longer period.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticizer contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if necessary, i.e. felt pads or similar.

Features
The LED effect is suitable for almost any application, for example in clubs, bars, and party rooms. The two laser diodes together with the LED lighting ensure extraordinary effects.
Special features of the device:

  •  5-in-1 light effect
    • Control via the supplied IR remote control
  •  Laser diodes:
    • Red: 100 mW
    •  Green: 130 mW
  •  Waterfall effect: 1 × RGBW LED (5 W)
  •  Rays effect: 1 × RGB LED (6 W)
  • UV and strobe effect: 4 × WUV LED (each 4 W)
  •  Automatic mode and sound control

For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This effect increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.

Installation

Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

Mounting options
You can install the unit in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must always be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. In doing so, the area underneath the unit must be cordoned off.
The safety cable must be threaded through the safety eyelet on the rear side of the unit.

Minimum height

In order to meet the limits for maximum irradiation (MZB limit value for the non-hazardous irradiation of the eye or the skin with a laser), the device must be installed at a height of at least 2.7 m according to the DGUV V11 valid in Germany.
The determination of the MZB limit values depends on the specific environmental conditions in individual cases and must be carried out by the responsible laser protection representative on site, based on the applicable standard DIN EN 60825-1.

WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
The distance between the light output and the illuminated surface must be more than 2.0 m (78.7 in).
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.

Inserting the battery into the remote control

Press the lock of the battery holder to the centre of the housing and pull out the battery holder like a drawer. Insert the battery. The battery is correct if the positive pole points to the housing base of the remote control. Slide the battery holder back into the remote until it clicks into place.
When shipping, the battery is already installed in the remote and protected against discharge by a transparent plastic foil. Remove the plastic foil prior to first use.

NOTICE!
Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity
Incorrectly inserted batteries may destroy the device or the batteries.
Ensure that proper polarity is observed when inserting batteries.

NOTICE!
Possible damage by leaking batteries
Leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the device.
Take batteries out of the device if it is not going to be used for a longer period.
