There is a risk of injury if troubleshooting is not performed properly. Have
all work and repairs on class 3B lasers performed by trained experts.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Symptom | Remedy |
---|---|
The device is not working, no light, the fan is not running | 1. Check the |
power supply and the main fuse.
2. Check the safety key switch.
3. Check the external safety switch (e.g. emergency stop button)
No response to the DMX controller| 1. If the display shows a flashing number,
for example “001”, no DMX signal is being received. Check the DMX connectors
and cables for proper connection.
2. If the display does not flash and there is no response, check the address
set‐ tings and DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables
that may cause damage or interference to a DMX interface circuit.
No response to the remote control| 1. Check whether the device is in “remote
control” mode. The display has to show r E N .
2. Try using the remote control at a different angle to the IR sensor on the
front panel of the device. When the unit receives a signal from the remote
control the LED ‘MUSIC’ lights up briefly.
3. Check the remote control battery.

Cleaning
WARNING! Risk of injury due to improper cleaning!
There is a risk of injury if cleaning is not performed properly. To avoid
unintentional laser radiation, always remove the key from the key switch
before you start cleaning the device.
Optical lenses
Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly
in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can
cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device.
- Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
- Always dry the parts carefully.
Fan grids
The fan grids of the device must be cleaned of any contamination, such as
dust, etc. on a reg‐ular basis. Before cleaning, switch off the device and
disconnect mains-operated devices from the mains. Only use pH-neutral,
solvent-free and non-abrasive cleaning agents. Clean the unit with a slightly
damp lint-free cloth.
Protecting the environment
Disposal of the packaging material
- For the packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling.
- Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of.

Disposal of batteries
Batteries must not be thrown away or incinerated; they must be disposed of
in accordance with local regulations for the disposal of hazardous waste. Use
the existing collection points for this. Only dispose of lithium batteries
when they are discharged. Remove replaceable lithium bat‐teries from the
device before disposal. Protect used lithium batteries against short circuits,
for example by covering the poles with adhesive tape. Permanently built-in
lithium batteries must be disposed of together with the device. Please inquire
about an appropriate collection point.
