Safety Issues: This unit may “pop” the breaker 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 off 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.

use the included I.E.C. power cable supplied with the unit, this cable matches the voltage and current requirements of the unit.

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 different 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. Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 X-Move

Laser™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The X-Move Laser™ is be a six channel DMX unit.

The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear 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
