Wavelength: 405, 532nm
This device complies with 21 CFR chapter I,
Subchapter J, or CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11
Safety Issues: This unit may “pop” the fuse if the maximum allotted
load of 2 amps is reached.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this unit
rain or moisture.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
• Do not attempt to remove or break o the ground prong from the
electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical
shock and re in case of an internal short. Do not attempt to oper ate this unit if the power cord has been frayed or broken.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper
ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.
• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out doors voids all warranties.
• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.
• Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.
• Power cords should be routed so they are not likely to be walked
on, pinched by items placed upon or against them.
• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by
the manufacturer. See page 21 for cleaning details.
• Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or water.

marked change in performance.
Class IIIa laser product
Stinger II Laser Warnings and Safety
NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
The Royal Sky contains high power laser devices internally. Do not
open the laser housing, due to the potential exposure to unsafe levels
of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is opened, can
cause instant blindness, skin burns and res.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY
The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye
injury if not set up and used properly. The light source emitted from a
laser is very dierent from any other light sources with which you may
be aware of. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated
than any light from any other kind of light source. This concentration
of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina
(the back of your eyeball contatining cells that are sensitive to light).
Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts
of laser beam light are potentially hazardous even at long distances.
Laser eye injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.
Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that the laser beam is scanned out in high
speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This
laser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many of
the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
Do not that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not
true. Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can
occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of
any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal
to aim Class 3R lasers in areas which people can get exposed. This
is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance
oor.
Do not operate the laser without rst reading and understanding
all safety and technical data in this manual.
Always set up and install all laser eects so that all laser light is at
least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the oor on which people can stand.

Stinger II Laser Warnings and Safety
Stinger II Set Up
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper
function. Do not use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser
emits only one or two laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this could indicate damage to the diraction grating optic, and could
allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser
aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get
exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reective surfaces, such as windows,
mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reections can be hazardous.
Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal oense.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two
beams.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, the housing is open,
or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of
the protective housing can start res, burn skin and will cause instant
eye injury.
Never leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show
is controlled by a skilled and well- trained operator, familiar with the
data included in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary
from country to country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and
eects overhead.

Power Supply: The ADJ Stinger II contains a automatic voltage
switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the
power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture
via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX
fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
dierent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The Stinger II can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The Stinger II is has 2 DMX channel modes, a 2 channel mode and 9
channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the back panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and
data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable
DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be
sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable
(This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables
should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember
that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot
be split.
