Initial operations, safety instructions
- Make sure to use correct voltage; see information 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 according 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 interlock 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 device.
- Never use dimmer, RC or other electronically switched sockets. Whenever possible, do not use the laser projector together with large appliances (especially fog machines) on the same mains!
- Ensure sufficient ventilation and do not place the device on any warm or heat radia-ting surface. Especially the ventilation openings must not be covered!
- Ensure that device does not get overheated. 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.
- 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 glasses, gloves etc.) according to laser power and wavelength 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 and ensure sufficient protection during transportation. Look after your Laserworld product.
- To increase durability of your laser, protect device against overheating:
- Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
- Do not face spotlights (especially moving heads) to the device.
- Check temperature after approx. 30 minutes with each new installation. If necessary install the projector at a place with different temperature.
- Keep the device dry. Protect it from moisture, rain and damp.
- Switch off device when it is not needed. Diodes are switched on and can wear out even if there is no visible laser output.
- Please ensure the fans and heatsinks are clear from dust and debris otherwise the risk of overheating may occur. If the unit and airways appear to be blocked then please contact a qualified service engineer to maintain and service the product.
- The devices of the Ecoline Series are not meant for professional applications. They are not suitable for 24/7 operation.
- Always place the laser behind fog machines and hazers
- Avoid direct exposure of the laser to moisture
- Clean the exit window with glass cleaner from time to time
- Removal of the warranty label as well as damages to the device caused by impro-per handling, neglect of the safety instructions and service notes will void the warranty

Device connections
Operation
Power on the Laser system
- Connect the power cable to the device and then to the mains
- Insert the key into the key switch and turn it to the„ON“ position
- Connect the Interlock Connector with the Interlock Port at the back of the device
- Press „ON“ to switch the device on
Automatic mode, Stand-alone operation
Set the device to auto mode:
Music mode, Sound-to-light operation
Set the device to music mode:
Control the music sensitivity with the rotary button at the back panel. The LED is flashing when the device is triggered.
DMX-512 mode
Switch 10 must be set to „off“, the other switches are used for setting the DMX address:
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 9 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 | Static pattern (DMX mode) | |
| 200 – 255 | Dynamic pattern (DMX mode) | |
| 2 | 0 – 255 | Pattern selection |
| 3 | 0 – 10 | Center Position on X axis |
| 11 – 255 | X axis positioning | |
| 4 | 0 – 10 | Center Position on Y axis |
| 11 – 255 | Y axis positioning | |
| 5 | 0 – 255 | Scanning speed |
| 6 | 0 – 255 | Dynamic pattern speed |
| 7 | 0 – 255 | Zoom / size |
| 8 | 0 – 255 | Color |
| 9 | 0 – 255 | Color segment |
Please note that a pattern can not necessarily be combined with each effect.
Master-Slave mode
This mode will allow to link up several units together without a controller. Choose a unit to function as Master, set the dipswitch to select Sound mode or Automatic mode. The other units must be set to slave mode (Switch 10 must be set to „off“). Use standard XLR cable to chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. After the slave units are turned „on“ they will reset and start in Slave mode to mirror the behaviour of the master unit.
Turn laser off
To turn off the device switch it off („OFF“), switch the key to „OFF“ and discon-nect the power cable from the mains.
