3. This device must not be permanently connected to mains. Disconnect it from mains or use the power button to switch if off if not in use.
4. Never look directly into the light source of a laser projector. Danger of damage to the eyes or even blindness in extreme circumstances!
5. Do not operate the device at high humidity or in the rain or in dusty environments.
6. Protect device against dripping or splashing water. Do not place any liquid filled containers near to this device.

Any warranty claims are void if the warranty label is removed or tampered with in any way.

Initial operations, safety instructions

1.  Make sure to use correct voltage; see in-formation on device & in this manual.
2. Make sure that the device is not connec-ted to mains during installation.
3. Installation has to be done by technical experienced and qualified persons ac-cording to safety regulations of the res-pective country.
4. Always ensure that maximum permissi-ble exposure (MPE) is not exceeded in areas accessible to the public or members of staff.
5. In some countries an additional ins-pection by technical control institutes could be necessary.
6. Connect an easily accessible inter-lock connector or circuit breaker to the projector.
7.  The power supply should be easily acces-sible.
8. When installing the laser mount it with a minimum distance of 15 cm from walls and objects.
9.  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 pro-fessional associations and/or comparable regulations for accident prevention.
10. If the device has been exposed to great temperature changes, do not switch it on immediately. Condensation (or any moisture/water formed) may damage this device.
11. Never use dimmer, RC or other electroni-cally switched sockets. Whenever possible, do not use the laser projector together with large appliances (especially fog ma-chines) on the same mains!
12.  Ensure that device does not get over-heated. 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 degra-dation of performance.
13. This unit is intended for indoor use only.

Working on the device

1. This product has no user serviceable parts inside and should only be maintained and serviced by a qualified engineer.
2. Be sure that the mains plug is not connected to the power supply while installing the device.
3. Take off all reflecting things like rings, watches, etc. before starting to work with or at the projector.
4. Only use non-reflecting tools to work on device.
5.  Wear protective clothing (like goggles, gloves etc.) according to laser power and wave-length 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 dra-matically.
• Avoid sharp knocks and shocks to this device an endsure 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 mo-ving heads) to the device.
  • Check temperature after approx. 30 minutes with each new installation. If necessary install the projector at a place with different temperatures.
  • Keep the device dry. Protect it from moisture, rain and damp.
  • Switch off device when it is not nee-ded. Diodes are switched on and can wear out even if there is no visible la-ser output.
• Please ensure the fans and heatsinks are clear from dust and debris otherwise the risk of overheating may occur. If the unit or air inlets appear to be blocked, please contact a qualified service engineer to maintain and service the product.
• Removal of the warranty label as well as damages to the device caused by improper handling, neglect of the sa-fety instructions and service notes will void the warranty.

General Operation

1. Power
   Connect the power cord to the device and to the mains. Make sure that your device is pro-vided with the correct voltage. Wrong voltage could lead to irreparable damages. Please find the correct voltage data in the synoptical table at the end of this manual. Make sure that the device is not directed to people or inflammable objects during installation. To start the device, connect the interlock bridge, insert the key and switch it on, and switch the device on. The “Emission – Laser on“ LED at the front side of the device begins to light up when the device is ready for use.

2. Key Switch
   There is a key switch at the back of the laser system. Please plug the key to the switch and turn it on. The laser device only runs when the key is inserted and switched on. Prevent misuse! Unplug the key when the laser is unattended to prevent misuse of the sys-tem.

3. Modes / Functions
   The different operation modes can be selected via the four buttons next to the „Set-tings“ display. „Menu“ exits the current menu item and moves one level higher; „Enter“ confirms a selection or navigates to the selected menu item; „Up“ / „Down“ allows for stepping through the current menu or to make a selection.
   The BeamBar uses 13 DMX channels, so make sure that the next device uses an address that doesn’t overlap with this range.

SOUND-TO-LIGHT / AUTO

Sound-to-light operation allows to playback the integrated patterns to the beat of music or any noises.

Select „ShΠd“ by navigating with the „Menu“ button and confirm with „Enter“:

Microphone Sensitivity Settings
The sensitivity of the built-in microphone for the control of the sound-to- light operation can be adjusted in the „SEnS“ menu.
Select „SEnS“ by navigating with the „Menu“ button and confirm with „Enter“:

The sensitivity can be adjusted between 1 and 100. Standard value is 50. Use the „Up“ /
„Down“ button to change the selection and confirm with „Enter“.

MASTER-SLAVE
This laser is Master-Slave capable. This means that the Master laser system can hand on a control signal to one or more Slave lasers, so all do the same.
Master-Slave only works with lasers of the same product series of the same product genera-tion.

• A: Link lasers with DMX cable
  To use Master-Slave operation, link the Master with the Slave lasers with DMX cables. Make sure to use the „DMX out“ port on the Master and the „DMX in“ on the Slave lasers. If several Slave lasers are used, link the first one to the Master laser and daisy-chain the control signal from the first Slave laser to the second etc..

• B: Activate Master Laser
  The Master laser needs to be set as control source.
  Select „SLΠd“ by navigating with the „Menu“ button and confirm with „Enter“:

• D: Set Sound-to-Light or Auto mode on Master laser
  To use the Master-Slave operation: set the Master to either Sound-to-Light or Auto mode (3.1.).

• E: Establish link to Slave lasers
  The Slave units must be set to DMX („Addr“) mode and must be assigned address A001 (see 3.3. DMX 512)

DMX 512
The DMX mode requires a DMX controller or a Master laser (see 3.2. Master- Slave operation) to be connected to the laser.
