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.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation, do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your
device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
1. The laser must only be used for shows. The operation is only allowed if it is
controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator.
- Never leave this device running unattended and keep it away from children
and unauthorized persons.
2. Keep away from heaters and other heating sources. In order to safeguard
sufficient ventilation, leave 50 cm of free space around the device.
3. Never direct the laser beam to people or animals.
4. CAUTION LASER DIODE: Never unscrew the housing!
There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Maintenance and service
operations shall only be carried out by authorized dealers.
5. Always disconnect from the mains when the device is not in use or before
cleaning it.
- HEALTH HAZARD! Never look directly into the light source, as
sensitive persons may suffer an epileptic shock!

2. OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
6. The operator has to make sure that laser radiation – also reflected laser
radiation –higher than the highest allowed level is avoided by technical or
organisational measures.
7. Make sure that the used voltage is : AC 220V~240V, 50/60Hz
8. If the device is used in a flying installation, the mounting brackets and an
appropriate safety-rope must be fixed.
9. Laser effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation
breaks will ensure that the device will serve you for a long time without
defects.
10. In some countries, the operator must notify the accidence insurance and the
authority for industrial safety, before operating a laser. For more information,
contact the relevant authorities.
11. Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden
due to safety reasons!
12. If this device will be operated in any way differently than described in this
manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void.
Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit,
burns, electric shock, etc.
13. When the laser is not attached to an ILDA output device (even for a short
period), switch ILDA mode off (see below), or turn the device off.

3. OPERATION
Please note: for sound/DMX mode the two switches on the back
of the device labelled “BLANKING” and “X/Y” have to be up.
When both switches are down the device can be controlled by
an ILDA output (such as our USB-Box). Use this switch setting
only when connected to such an ILDA controller. Even if you
disconnect/interrupt the ILDA connection only for a short
period, always put the switches into up position, or turn the
device off!
4. AUTO- MUSIC-MODE
If you put switch 10 to “ON” the patterns will change automatically, and are
animated by sound (sound or music mode), the switches labelled “BLANKING” and
“X/Y” have to be up. You can control the music-sensitivity of the microphone with
the min-max knob on the rear panel. With switch 1 you can select two modes:
standard sound mode (patterns will move triggered by sound), and animated sound
mode (patterns will move slowly without sound and will be accelerated with sound).
5. OPERATION WITH DMX
If you turn switch 10 to “OFF”, and switches “BLANKING” and “X/Y” up, the device is
in DMX mode. Set the DMX address and connect the device to a DMX controller, you
can then operate you CS-200G ECO with DMX.
Set the DMX address code with the binary system “0” or “1”. A few examples:

The device uses 11 channels, so if you set the first on DMX address “1” the second
should be DMX address “12” and so on.
The DMX channels are as following:

Please note that according to the pattern, not all effect channels are
activated. E.g. you can’t zoom dynamic patterns, etc.
Channel 3 (strobe) is also available when in soundmode (channel 1 70-209).

6. ILDA OPERATION
Connect the laser to an ILDA output (as our USB-box) using the adaptor shipped
with the device, switches “BLANKING” and “X/Y” on the back of the laser have to be
down. You can now operate the laser with ILDA.
Use this switch setting only when connected to an ILDA
controller. Even if you disconnect/interrupt the IDLA connection
only for a short period, always put the switches into up position,
or turn the device off.
You can now control laser output with a PC, using for example our ShowEditor 2006
software. Laserworld offers a variety of music synchronous lasershows for
ShowEditor 2006.
