ENGLISH USER MANUAL
LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• According to the EN 60825-1:2014 regulations, this laser falls under the classification 3B. Direct eye
exposure can be dangerous.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION !
Avoid direct eye exposure! Laser radiation can cause eye damage
and/or skin damage. All protective measures for a safe operation of
this laser must be applied.
• This product is a so-called show las er, emitting radiation with a wavelength spectr um between 400 and
700 nm and producing lighting effects for shows.
• Due to the construction of this las er, the b eam is moved so f ast, t hat it can only hit t he eye very short. This
is why the use of this laser for a Laser-Light-Show can
be regarded as save.
• Never direct the las er beam to people or an imals and
never leave this device running unattended.
• This laser ma y only be used for sho ws. The operation
of this class 3B show laser is only allowed if it is done
by a professional operator.
• Depending on the classification, operating a laser
product can produce laser radiation that may cause
permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The
legal instructions for using a laser product vary from country to country. The user must always inform
himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
Please note that JB Systems cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and
unskilled operation!

OVERHEAD RIGGING
• Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
• Make sure the area belo w the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
• The device should be instal led out of reach of people and outs ide ar eas where per sons ma y walk by or be
seated.
• Before rigging mak e sure that the instal lation area c an hold a minim um point load of 10times the de vice’s
weight.
• Always use a certified saf ety cabl e that can h old 12 times the weight of the devic e when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
• Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using t hem f or the fir st time. T he install ations s hould be inspect ed every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
CAUTION EYEDAMAGE: Always position the laser in a way that prevents the
audience from looking directly into the laser beams. The installation should assure that
the beam will not strike the audience.

HOW TO SET UP AN D CO NTROL THE UNIT
• Regular breaks during ope ration are essential to maxim ize the life of this device as it is not designe d for
continual use.
• Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lifetime of the lasers.
• Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time.
• In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
• Important: Never look directly into the laser beam! Don’t use the effect in the presence of persons
suffering from epilepsy.
This laser contains 3 different lasers. One of the lasers is a GREEN 532nm DPSS LASER (Diode
Pumped Solid State laser).
DPSS lasers need a warmup period of about 5-15 minutes to reach a stable working temperature.
During warmup the power output an d beam undergo large f luctuat ions, som etim es the gr een laser beam
will only appear after some minutes. As t he warm-up progr esses DPSS lasers become more and m ore
stable until they finally reach the optimum temperature for operation. This is normal with all DPSS
lasers and is not a defect.
You can operate the unit in several ways:
1) STANDALONE MODE USING THE BUILD-IN PROGRAMS:
The laser runs a preprogrammed sequence automatically or to the rhythm of the
music. Select this m ode when only 1 laser is used (standalone) or when the laser is
placed as the first (m aster) unit in a chain with several [MULTIBEAM LASER] lasers
(master/slave mode).
• Press the [MENU]-button until the display shows [P--]
• Press [Enter] to select the preprogrammed shows [P 1 … P 12]
• Press the [UP / DOWN] buttons to choose one of the shows.
• Press [Enter] to confirm the selected show.
2) STANDALONE MODE USING THE BUILD-IN PROGRAMS (MUSIC
CONTROLLED:
• Press the [MENU]-button until the display shows [Sn1]
• Press the [ENTER]-button to confirm your choice.
• Put on some mus ic and adjust the [MU SIC SENSITIVITY]-knob (18) unt il the laser
works nicely to the rhythm of the music.
Note: When no music is detected, the laser output will be shut off (blackout).
3) MASTER/SLAVE MODE:
You can connect several [MULTIBEAM LASER] lasers together.
Connect the DMX input of the first laser to the DMX output of the previous laser in the chain.
Please put the first un it of the chain in “Mus ic or automatic m ode” and all the other un its in [2-h] or [10h ]
mode.
The lasers will follow the instructions giv en b y the first [MULTIBEAM laser] (master) in the chain.

4) DMX MODE:
The laser can be controlled by any standard DMX-controller in 2 different DMX-modes:
• 2 CHANNEL MODE: for extremely easy setup and use! (display shows “2-h”)
• 10 CHANNEL MODE: for full control of all possibilities. (display shows “10h”)
• Connect the DMX input of the las er to the DMX ou tput of the previous unit in the c hain or dir ectly to the
DMX-output of your controller.
• Press the [MENU] button to select the desired DMX-mode. (2-h or 10h)

• Press the [ENTER]-button to confirm your choice.
Please refer to the DMX-chart below for the functions of the different channels.
Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed s ignal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
“daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F
balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to
interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the en d of t he c h ain . Ne v er
use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
Each effect in the c hain ne eds to have its prop er starti ng address so it kn ows whi ch
commands from the controller it has to decode.
