Attachments

1. Laser Light: 1PCS
2. Power Cable: 1PCS
3. User Guide: 1PCS
4. DMX adapter Cable: 1PCS
5. External Wall Support Bracket: 1PCS

Notice:

1. Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam. Never intentionally expose your eye or others to a direct laser beam. It can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if a laser beam strikes directly into the eyes.
2. Don’t point onto any oncoming pedestrians, vehicles, or traffic routes from land, sea, or air.
3. Don’t project at or within the flight path of the aircraft. If your intended surface is within 10 nautical miles of an airport, lower the angle of light so that no lasers point into the sky.
4. Don’t turn on and off the unit frequently.
5. Before using this unit make sure the power supply is ground.
6. Use cleaning tissue to remove the dust absorbed on the external lenses periodically to optimize light output.
7. Do not remove or break the warranty label, otherwise is no warranty.
8. Only a qualified person can do the electrical installation and repair job according to all applicable codes and standards.
9. WARNING: Risk of electric shock and fire. For outdoor use, make sure there is a covered Class A GFCI-protected receptacle available.

Features

1. 2W high brightness 7 color sky star laser light, twinkling star effects. Each star with 7 color effects, such as red, green, blue, yellow, pink, cyan, and white colors, can also be DMX or remote-control dimming color matching. This feature is a big different from the current RGB twinkling star laser light whose star is single red, single green, and single blue only. Colors changing effects, speed-changing effects, Strobe effects, and so on.
2. Full pure diode RGB laser with more stable performance and longer working life. A diode solid-state (DSS) laser is that when powered on, the diode will have laser output directly. It can work properly between -30 °C and 40 °C.
3. Applicable for outdoor bright projects, scenic areas, squares, parks, shows, etc.

Function & Setting

Auto
Auto cycles the built-in programs without being controlled externally.

DMX Control
The system only accepts the DMX512 signal of international standard to control the system mode, the laser beam ON /OFF, running direction, running speed and twinkle speed etc. DMX Control Parameter Chart During DMX mode, use the Up/Down key to change the DMX address, and Enter key to save the parameter. The address will be shown on the monitor as the value will be changed according to the address number (from A001 to A511). One unit has 7 channels, so each unit must be assigns 7 channels at least. We may assign 8 channels for one unit, then DMX address = 8*N + 1, N=0, 1, 2, 3 ……

Example: One loop address=1, two loop address=9, three loop address=17, four loop address=25

Menu Operation Instruction

After every resetting and save, the new mode information (mode/ DMX address, speed etc.) will be saved into the CPU and also will be shown on the LED monitor. Mode Option, to choose the operating mode of the laser. Up/Down, to change the parameter or DMX address Confirmation, to confirm the present mode at the next operation.

DMX Operation (DMX mode)
The mode allows a single unit to react to the beat of the music in the master mode.

1. Install the units in a suitable position (laying or appending).
2. Set Function to DMX mode.
3. Set the DMX address of the unit.
4. Use a standard XLR microphone cable to chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
5. Turn on the unit power, the unit begins reset, then the unit begins working.
6. Use the DMX console to control your units

Notes

1. DMX console cannot be used in Master-Slave operation (Sound Active or AUTO mode ).
2. There should be only one master unit in the Master-Slave operation.
