INSTRUCTION MANUAL

LASER FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
This laser complies with the international standards EN60825-1:2014. It is meant exclusively for professional use.
Its installation and use should only be carried out by a skilled technician who is aware of the specific dangers of lasers.
REMINDER OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING ICON

Lasers of class 3 and 4 are for outdoor use only.
Inside the public area, any laser shooting towards the audience is strictly forbidden except if a  safety area of 5m radius is marked around the area to which the audience cannot get access.
The area called “public area” is defined by the space of 3m above the area occupied by the audience and a width of 2.5m around this area. The public area must be clearly identified by  signs on the ground.
Inside the public area only a scanning movement is allowed within the terms and conditions defined by the international technical laser safety report.
The laser unit must be installed out of reach of the audience and at a minimum of 3m above the ground where the audience is present or protected by a safety perimeter of 5m radius.
The laser unit must be installed in such a way that it can’t be moved under the effect of disruptions such as crowd movements, vibrations or gusts of wind.

INSTALLATION

The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture. Do not install the unit upside down. The heater with the fan must be installed downwards.

DMX512

  1. Install the units in a suitable position (laying or appending).
  2. Use standard XLR microphone cable to link the units together via the XLR connector on the rear panel. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
  3. Assign a DMX address to each the unit.
  4. Turn on all units. They will start resetting and then begin to work.
  5. Use a DMX console to control your unit

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS

FUNC Mode/Function: Set the operating mode of laser.
ENTER : Confirms all settings or changes of LED control panel.
UP / DOWN : Changes the operating mode, parameter or DMX address

OPERATION

Function overview:

[FUNCTION] key:
At every short press on the FUNC button, following actions are active :

  • INDR – DMX (6-CH simplified DMX mode) + you can set the DMX address via the UP/DOWN buttons and confirm with ENTER
  • DMX (34-CH advanced DMX mode) + you can set the DMX address via the UP/DOWN buttons and confirm with ENTER
  • INDR SE (1 – 2 – 3) = 3 AUTO or sound-controlled mode. The ENTER button toggles between these
    2 modes (SND is displayed)

The SE 1 sequence (beam/tunnels, waves mode) – SE 2 (animation 1) – SE 3 is accessible via the sub-menu.
To access the sub menu, keep the FUNC button pressed for at least 3 seconds. SET is displayed on the bottom right side of the display. You are now in the setting menu. Select the sequence by selecting SE and press ENTER.
This sub-menu also allows the following configuration (not recommended for beginners!):

  • Configure motors X & Y via dr – X and dr – Y
  • Invert motors (SWAP XY)
  • Set the projection size (X-SIZE with values from 0 to 100 and Y-SIZE with values from 0 to 100)
  • Activate/deactivate the remote control ( REMOTE – ON/OFF)

To leave the menu, keep FUNC pressed.
Overview of playback modes:
There are multiple playback modes:

  • Built-in Master mode: divided into three small playback modes.

> 1: mixed playback: Drawing scenes from each sequence in taking turn playback (can be set by
setting the function).
> 2: Sequence playback: only play a sequence. (This mode is temporary and will not be saved)
> 3: Scene playback: only plays one scene. (This mode is temporary and will not be saved)

  • Slave mode: divided into the following two slave modes:
    > 1: DMX slave mode: All slaves follow the master in the DMX line.
    > 2: ILDA slave mode: The salves accept ILDA signal control from the Master or laser console.

  • DMX playback mode:
    > 1: Easy DMX mode: 6 channels

Note: Simple DMX mode takes the built-in scenes of the laser directly without any further settings.

> 2: Professional DMX mode: 34 channels
Order 1 : Professional DMX mode is only for experienced lighting engineers, who are professional in DMX control, as well as the laser pattern scanning principle. If this is not your case, pls use simple 6-channel DMX mode. Order 2: DQF6 (the Bluetooth number) is a double-pattern laser system, and two patterns canbe scanned at the same time. The following description is distinguished by pattern A and pattern B. For ease of view, the following points are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively at the end of the manual

ILDA console mode: ILDA signal input, output ILDA effect. Effects library: Each effect library is stored as a sequence on the motherboard, they are:

  1. Geometric sequence (Gypsophalange filter);
  2. Wedding theme sequence;
  3. Christmas theme sequence;
  4. Beam sequence (no filter);
  5. Geometric sequence (Galaxy Nebula);
  6. 3D sequence (3D filter);
  7. Point circle sequence (dot circle filter);
  8. Long virtual point sequence (long virtual point filter);

LED display instruction:
{INTR}{DMX}{APP}{SET}{SND}{SEL} for status identification.

  • {INTR} Indicates that the fixture is using the built-in effect. When the status flag is lit (INTR} alone, it is the built-in effect play mode.
  • {DMX} indicates that the fixture is controlled by the DMX signal. The status flag is only bright (DMX) for the standard DMX control mode
  • {INTR} {DMX} is a simple DMX mode that calls the built-in scenario via DMX signals.
  • {SET} indicates that the fixture is in the system setup state.
  • {SND} indicates that the motion of the pattern is controlled by the sound when the fixture is in the built-in mode.
  • {SEL} In the set state, the indicator is lit to indicate that the current setting option is enabled.

{INTR} the state of the digital display section

  • {AL} indicates the mix mode in the built-in mode (the scene play is extracted from each sequence).
  • {P ###} Indicates the scene playback mode when the built-in mode is displayed. The displayed value is the scene number.
  • {SE ##} indicates the sequence playback mode when the built-in mode is displayed, and the displayed value is the sequence number.

{DMX} the digital display part state.
{INTR} + {DMX}the digital display part state.

  • {A ###} Indicates the DMX address code for the fixture.

{SET} the digital display part state.

  • {SE ##} Indicates whether the digital display sequence is selected when the mixed mode of the built-in mode is used.
    (Note: {SEL} status flag indicates whether the sequence is selected.)

  • {DR- ||} indicates the X mirror setting.

  • {DR- =} represents the Y mirror setting.

  • {DR- = ||} represents XY offset.

  • {x ###} represents the X projection amplitude, the digital part is the full scale percentage value
    (Note: {SEL} can be adjusted through the button on the board).

  • {y ###} denotes the Y projection amplitude (Note: same as above).

  • {r0FF} Indicates whether or not the remote control function is turned off.

The virtual remote control of the mobile phone APP is the same as that described in the previous section.
Extinguished: After a few hours of inactivity, the digital part of the display will go out (Note: some models do not have this function)

REMOTE CONTROL
Please operate the remote control within a distance of 6m and 30° between the remote and the appliance. Aim the remote at the sensor. Remove all obstacles between the remote and the sensor.
