Initial operations, safety instructions
- Make sure to use correct voltage; see in-formation on device & in this manual.
- Make sure that the device is not connected to mains during installation.
- Installation has to be done by technical experienced and qualified persons ac-cording to safety regulations of the respective country.
- Always ensure that maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in areas accessible to the public or members of staff.
- In some countries an additional inspection by technical control institutes could be necessary.
- Connect an easily accessible inter-lock connector or circuit breaker to the projector.
- The power supply should be easily accessible.
- When installing the laser mount it with a minimum distance of 15 cm from walls and objects.
- For safe setup e.g. on walls or ceilings please use a safety cord. The safety cord should be able to withstand tenfold the weight of the device. Please follow the accident prevention regulations of professional associations and/or comparable regulations for accident prevention.
- If the device has been exposed to great temperature changes, do not switch it on immediately. Condensation (or any moisture/water formed) may damage this device.
- Never use dimmer, RC or other electronically switched sockets. Whenever possible, do not use the laser projector together with large appliances (especially fog ma-chines) on the same mains!
- Ensure sufficient ventilation and do not place the device on any warm or heat radiating surface. Especially the ventilation openings must not be covered!
- Ensure that device does not get over-heated. Make sure that the device is not exposed to spotlights (especially moving heads). Heat of spotlights could overheat laser in a little while and leads to a degradation of performance.
- This unit is intended for indoor use only.
Working on the device
- This product has no user serviceable parts inside and should only be maintained and serviced by a qualified engineer.
- Be sure that the mains plug is not connected to the power supply while installing the device.
- Take off all reflecting things like rings, watches, etc. before starting to work with or at the projector.
- Only use non-reflecting tools to work on device.
- Wear protective clothing (like goggles, gloves etc.) according to laser power and wave-length of the laser.
Service notes
- Moisture and heat can reduce lifetime of the laser system dramatically and expires any warranty claim.
- Quick on/off switching of this device will reduce durability of the laser diode dramatically.
- Avoid sharp knocks and shocks to this device an endsure sufficient protection during transportation. Look after your Laserworld product.

General Operation
-
Power
Connect the power cord to the device and to the mains. Make sure that your device is pro-vided 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 interlock 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. -
Modes / Functions
The different operation modes can be selected by using the DIP switches at the back of the device. Do not change any settings during operation, as random and dangerous laser output can occur. -
Turn device off
To turn off the device, use the power button („OFF“), turn the key to ‚OFF‘ and disconnect the power cable from the mains.
Operation Modes
Turn on the Laser system
- Connect the power cable to the device and then to the mains
- Insert key and turn it to „ON“
- Press the „ON“ switch to turn on the device
- An Interlock bridge adapter is included in delivery (small network plug). Attach an E-Stop to the interlock interface or use the bridge connector to enable laser output
SOUND-TO-LIGHT
Sound-to-light operation allows for playing back the integrated patterns to
the beat of the music
Control the music-sensitivity by the trim pot at the rear side of the device. The LED is flashing when the device is triggered.
STAND-ALONE / AUTO
Stand-alone, or Auto, operation allows for playback of the internal patterns
without any control. They are played back according to the internal system
settings.
DMX512
Your device runs in DMX mode if ‘10‘ is switched off: Connect a DMX controller
to operate the laser.
Use the switches 1 – 9 to set the DMX address of the laser. Each switch
represents a number. To define a number use the preceding number and multiply
it by 2:
Switch| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8|
9| 10
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Number| 1| 2| 4| 8| 16| 32| 64| 128| 256| Mode Switch
The laser uses 11 DMX channels, so make sure that the next device uses an address that doesn’t overlap with this range.
Channel | Value | Function |
---|---|---|
1 | 0 – 49 | Laser off |
50 – 99 | Sound mode | |
100 – 149 | Automatic mode | |
150 – 199 | DMX mode – static patterns | |
200 – 255 | DMX mode – dynamic patterns | |
2 | 0 – 255 | Pattern selection |
3 | 0 – 39 | Red, green and blue |
40 – 79 | Green and blue | |
80 – 119 | Red and blue | |
120 – 159 | Red and green | |
160 – 199 | Blue | |
200 – 239 | Red | |
240 – 255 | Green | |
4 | 0 – 10 | Position X: Middle |
11 – 255 | Position X: 11 is left; 255 is right. Total: 20º | |
5 | 0 – 10 | Position Y: Middle |
11 – 255 | Position Y: 11 is bottom; 255 is top. Total: 20º | |
6 | 0 – 255 | Scanning speed (255 is slow) |
7 | 0 – 255 | Dynamic patterns play speed (255 is slow) |
8 | 0 – 255 | Static pattern size (255 is smallest) |
Please note that not each pattern can be combined with each effect.
