LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
The Stinger II 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 fires.

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 different 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

containing 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

A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. – www.americandj.eu – Stinger II Instruction Manual Page 6

LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY (continued)

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 floor.

Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical data in this
manual.

Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on
which people can stand.
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 diffraction 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 reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser

reflections can be hazardous.

Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.
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 fires, 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 effects overhead.

SET UP

Power Supply: The ADJ Stinger II contains an 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 protocol 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 different manufactures to be linked
together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures 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.

A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. – www.americandj.eu – Stinger II Instruction Manual Page 7

SET UP (continued)

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.
Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on
the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor
to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic
behaviour.

XLR Pin Configuration

Pin1 = Ground

Pin2 = Data Compliment (negative)

Pin3 = Data True (positive)

Figure 3

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on
the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected
between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR
connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number
Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour.

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids
signal transmission problems and interference.
It is always advisable to connect a DMX
terminal, (Resistance120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last
fixture.

Figure 4

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place
of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR
connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most
electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord from the unit. Once the cord has been
removed, you will find that the fuse holder is located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver
into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one.
The fuse holder also has a holder for a spare fuse.

CLEANING

Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and
mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the
environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we
recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solutions.

ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment

Dear Customer,
The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardous

substances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry.
It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI),

cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flame
retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operation
involves electric or electromagnetic fields – in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in our
households or at work.

As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION Professional
and ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two years
prior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materials
and manufacturing processes.

Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of the
European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use are
always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, is
environmentally friendly.

The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feel
obligated to make our contribution in this respect.

WEEE – Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Every year thousands of tonnes of electronic components, which are harmful to the environment, end up at the
waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible disposal or recovery of electronic components,
the European Union has adopted the WEEE directive.

The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the system of the

“Green Spot”, which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have to make their contribution to

the utilization of waste at the time they release the product. Money resources obtained by doing so will be
applied to develop a common system of waste management. Thereby we can ensure professional and
environmentally friendly scraping and recycling program.

As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution towards it.
(Registration in Germany: DE41027552)
That means that products of AMERICAN DJ and AMERICAN AUDIO can be left in the collection points free of

charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of ELATION Professional, which are used
only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please send Elation products directly to us at the end of their
lifetime so that we can professionally dispose of them.

Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment protection and we
are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.

We are happy to answer any of your inquiries and welcome your suggestions at: [email protected]
