2.1 Fire prevention:

XR-LASER GREEN

XR-LASER GREEN is fitted with a 300 mW DSPP green color laser

.

-Minimum distance from flammable materials: 1 MT.

-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 MT.

-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value. Refer to the wiring diagram if
there is any doubt.

-Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.

2.2 Prevention of electric shock:

-High voltage is present inside the unit. Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves
touching the inside of the moving head.

-The level of technology inherent in the XR-LASER GREEN requires the assistance of specialised
personnel for all servicing.Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre.

-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.

-Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.

-The fixture should be located in places with a good air ventilation.

2.3 Protection against direct exposure to laser beam:

-NO PERSON OTHER THAN A THROUGLY TRAINED OPERATOR SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
USE THE LASER UNIT OR DIRECT OR MANIPULATE THE OUTPUT BEAM.

-Never turn on the unit if any of the lenses, filters or ABS covering is damaged. Their respective
shielding functions will only operate efficiently if they are in perfect working order.

A laser is an electronic-optical device that emits coherent light radiation,in a narrow, low-divergence

­monochromatic beam with a well-defined wavelength. In this respect, laser light is in sharp contrast with
such light sources as the incandescent light bulb, which emits light over a wide area and over a wide
spectrum of wavelengths.

LASER RADIATION
AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM

A Class 3B laser is hazardous if the eye is exposed directly.

Lasers in this category can cause permanent

eye damage with exposures of 1/100th of a second or less depending on the strength of the
laser.D

iffuse reflections such as from paper or other matte surfaces are not harmful.Protective eyewear
is typically required where direct viewing of a class 3B laser beam may occur.
Protective eyewear in the form of spectacles or goggles with appropriately filtering optics can protect the
eyes from the reflected or scattered laser light with a hazardous beam power, as well as from direct
exposure to a laser beam. Eyewear must be selected for the specific type of laser, to block or attenuate
in the appropriate wavelength range.In addition to an optical density sufficient to reduce beam power to
below the maximum permissible exposure, laser eyewear used where direct beam exposure is possible
should be able to withstand a direct hit from the laser beam without breaking.

In an environment
with potential exposure to laser beams, suitable eye protection is recommended for beams
of Class 3B and Class 4.

In the U.S., guidance for the use of protective eyewear, and other elements of
safe laser use, is given in the ANSI Z136 series of standards. In the European Community, eye
protection requirements are specified in European norm EN 207.

2.4 Safety:

-The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other tools that are capable of
supporting the weight of the unit.

-Always use a second safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the main
fixing point.

-Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow. The ambient temperature should
not exceed 40°C.

2.5 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid objects:

-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the penetration of
solid and liquid objects is IP 20.

3- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

The can operate at 90-260 VOLT AC 50-60 Hz.

4- INSTALLATION

XR-LASER GREEN

For floor mounting installations, the is supplied with four rubber mounting feet
under the base.
For ceiling mounted installations, we reccomend the use of appropriate clamps to fix the unit to the
mounting surface.
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the weight of the
unit, as should any clamps used to hang it. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to
move or shake whilst the unit is moving.
Four quarter turn fast locks placed on the base, allow to fix the unit in any position, by using the two fast
lock C clamps provided in the box.

may be either floor or ceiling mounted.

4.1- Safety cable

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the and to the
suspension truss in order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail. Make
sure that the iron cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit.
You may attach the safety chain to the two holes (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown in the
picture above.

4.2- Protection against liquids

The projector contains electric and electronic components which should under no circumstances come
into contact with oil, water or any other liquid. The proper unit functioning would be compromised should
this occur.

4.3- Movement

The projector has a maximum movement of 540° for Pan and 270° for Tilt. DO NOT place any
obstructions in the path of the projector's movement.

270°

540°

4.4- Risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place. The minimum recommended
distance from flammable material is 1 MT.
Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 2 MT.

4.5- Forced ventilation

You will note, on inspection, that the unit features various air inlets and cooling fans located on both the
base and head of the fixture. These should, under no circumstances, be blocked or obstructed whilst the
projector is in operation.
Doing so could cause the fixture to seriously overheat thereby compromising its proper operation.

4.6- Ambient temperature

The projector should never be installed in places that lack a constant air flow. The ambient temperature
should NOT exceed 40°C.

5- MAINS CONNECTION

XR-LASER GREEN

Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply,
ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches
the mains supply available. For connection purposes,
ensure that your plug is capable of supporting 3,15 amps at 230V
or 6 amps at 110V.
Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.

5.1- Protection

The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each .
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector.

6- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION

The unit operates using the digital DMX 512 (1990) signal. Connection between the mixer and the
projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable and a
CANNON XLR 5 or 3 pins connector.
Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.Do not connect the cable ground to the XLR chassy
The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector plug and connect it
to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first projector to the DMX IN plug of the
second one.
This way, all the projectors are cascade connected.
NB. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:

- DMX signal not present

- DMX address not valid

- DMX reception problem

For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed, we suggest to use a DMX
terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor
Between pin 2 and 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the DMX line.

6.2-Selecting the DMX address

1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX channel. The numbers on the display will
start to flash (but the new DMX address hasn't yet been set).

2) Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop flashing and the
projector is now set to the new DMX address.

TRICKS:
if you keep pushed the UP or DOWN keys, the channels are calculated more quickly and you get a
faster selection.
