Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.

AC Power

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.

Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the

line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits
with a suitable Earth Ground.

Figure 1 - AC Voltage Switch

Not all fixtures have a voltage
select switch. Please be sure to
connect to the proper voltage.

Safety Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully, which

includes important information about the installation,

• Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that

• Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage and that the line voltage you are
connecting to is not higher than that stated on decal or rear panel of the fixture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only!

• To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to rain or moisture. Make sure there are no

flammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

• Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to
replace with same lamp source.

• Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain. Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use
its carrying handles.

• Maximum ambient temperature is Ta: 40°. Do not operate fixture at temperatures higher than this.

• In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the unit

by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please

INTRODUCTION

Your LG-3355 is very unique! You may notice that the beams coming out of the projector are larger
than the 4.95mW projectors. There is a very distinct reason for this. Unlike 4.95mW projectors the
output of the CHAUVET laser projectors with Fatbeam™ technology inside outputs <20mW for each
beam. Normally outputs greater than 4.95mW require a variance from the FDA. This product has
been designed to meet a special classification of ClassIIIa. Under this classification with the Fat
Beam technology the acceptable energy levels (AEL) have been met. Therefore the maximum
potential exposure to the unaided eye is less than 4.95mW for a static beam. Additionally the (MPE)
or Maximum Permissible Exposure with this product is below acceptable levels for hum ocular or
tissue exposure.

Features

• 10mW Fatbeam™ Laser technology produces 10-14mm beam which complies with IEC Safety
Standards under ClassIIIa

• 276 preset patterns, 9 of the most popular patterns triggered by the remote

• Operating modes; Auto, Sound Active & Master/Slave

- Linking cable included

• Wireless remote included for Manual mode operation

• Scanning motors (micro stepping)

• Sound sensitivity control

• Rugged construction

• European design plastic case

Product Overview

Infrared sensor (front).
User can now select from 2
Infrared sensor locations (front)
or the (rear).

General Instructions

This fixture is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit or master/slave link. Linking the units in
master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give an automatic sound activated
synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an instant show. Plug in the unit and
turn the ON/OFF switch to ON position, the unit will work. It will turn off the laser diode automatically
when the music stops after 7 seconds or no signal input.

DANGER: Laser Radiation emitted from this aperture.

Before connecting the unit to AC power, make certain that
the front aperture is pointed away from you or others.

AC Power Connection:

The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage
and destination. Should any other connections be required they
must be carried out with the following configuration.

Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable

matches the required power of your fixture.

3) Fuse holder: This housing stores the protective fuse. Always replace with the extra same type

fuse. Replacement with anything other than the specified part may damage your unit.

4) Red LED: Power indicator, Blue LED: Sound indicator.

5) Master/Slave Mode: Select the master/slaver mode.

6) Signal input/output: uses a 3.5mm stereo microphone cable to link the unit together for

master/slave link.

7) AC voltage selector switch

8) Infrared sensor (rear or front) selector switch

Master/Slave Operation

Note: Maximum linking in Master/Slave mode is 8 fixtures.

1) Turn Off all projectors.

2) Connect up to 8 fixtures using a daisy chain method. From the signal output of the first projector

to the signal input of the following projector and then repeat for the following projectors.

3) Set the Master/Slave switch on the first unit in the daisy chain to Master and turn this projector

ON before all other projectors.
Important: Turn Master unit On First otherwise link will not be consistent.

4) On all remaining units set the Master/Slave switch to Slave then turn those projectors on.
