INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the QTX Crystalizer a compact, metal animation laser that produces a crystal clear array of 51 colourful patterns and animations. 5 control modes including auto, sound to light and DMX512 make this versatile, robust unit perfect for any function or event.

In the box:
Your Crystalizer should arrive with you in a single carton in good condition. The carton should contain 1x main unit with bracket, 1x UK IEC mains lead, 1x laser key and 1x user guide.

Warning: To prevent risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or damp environments. In the event of a spillage, disconnect the mains and allow the unit to dry out naturally. Qualified personnel should then check the unit before continuing use.

Caution: Laser radiation
Avoid pointing directly towards eyes. Laser output can cause injury if viewed directly. This product is a Class 3B laser and should only be installed and used by persons who are trained in the management of laser radiation and are able to operate in accordance within the guidance given by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in HS(G)95: “The Radiation Safety of Lasers used for Display purposes”. Copies of this guide can be downloaded from: www.avsl.com/assets/documents/hsg95.pdf

Placement:

  • Use the included mounting bracket to fix to a stand or lighting truss
  • Use secondary safety fixings if mounting overhead.
  • Keep away from damp or dusty environments.
  • Ensure adequate air-flow around the fixture housings.
  • Ensure adequate access to controls and connections.
  • Do not aim LED or laser output directly into line of sight, as this can result in eye injury.

Cleaning:

  • Use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent to clean the casing as required.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner to clear ventilation grilles of any dust or debris build-ups.
  • Do not use strong solvents for cleaning the unit.

The Crystalizer can be controlled by DMX signal, simply connect the DMX signal source to the DMX input on the unit via a balanced XLR lead. Extra fixtures can be controlled by the same DMX signal by looping through the DMX out on the unit. To enter DMX mode, select A001 from the menu and confirm the correct start address by using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons and “ENTER”. The A on the LED display will begin to flash once it’s received the DMX signal from the controller. This unit has 16 DMX channels as indicated in the table below:

16-CH (start address A001 for 1st unit, A017 for 2nd unit etc):
