LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

Laser safety for a Class 3R Laser Product
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar with. This laser is less
dangerous than a higher class laser such as an 3B or 4. The light from this product is safe for unintentional
(<1/4 sec) unaided eye exposure. However this device is potentially hazardous if viewed with certain
optical instruments such as binoculars or eye loupe.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still
potentially injure or blind you or your audience.
Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries
can happen quicker than you can blink.
It is incorrect to think that because these laser products split the laser into hundreds of beams or the laser
beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser
product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3R levels internally). Many of the individual beams
are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the
laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of
any direct eye exposure. According to the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers in
areas which people can get exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a
dance floor.
CAUTION! Only Laser Safety Officers who are officially certified by a regulatory body or authorized
training organization are allowed to use class 3R lasers in public. The Laser Safety Officer is responsible for
all aspects when using this laser, including following all locally applicable safety laws and regulations.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incorrect installation of
this laser.
CAUTION: AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM: Avoid direct eye contact with laser
light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser
radiation.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @110V: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @240V: 61 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the backside of the device allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the
first channel with which the Energetic will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 9 channels.
When using multiple Energetics, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Energetic should be 1 (001); the DMX address of the second
Energetic should be 1+9=10 (010); the DMX address of the third Energetic should be 10+9=19 (019), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Energetic
correctly. If two or more Energetics are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Energetic fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Energetic will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
● The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Energetic.
● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

Maintenance
The Energetic requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light
output very quickly.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
Replacing the Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out.
If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below:
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-headed screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover.
the fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect four potential problem areas as: the power supply, the laser, LEDs, the fuse.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The laser. Return the Energetic to your Showtec dealer.
03) The LEDs and strobe LEDs. Return the Energetic to your Showtec dealer.
04) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 23 for replacing the fuse.
05) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
06) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Energetic, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
07) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician.
The fixture does not work, no laser and the fan does not work
01) Check the connected power and main fuse.
02) Check the mains voltage on the main connector.
The fixture is on, but the laser does not work
01) Check the laser aperture cover.
02) Check the key switch.
03) Check the remote interlock or interlock connector.
04) Wait for at least 30 minutes to warm up in low temperature.
05) Check whether it is in music mode without sound signal.
06) Check whether it is in slave mode.
07) Check whether it is in DMX mode, without a DMX signal being present.
The laser effect power is very weak
01) Wait for at least 30 minutes to warm up in low temperature.
02) Clean the scanner mirror with alcohol.
03) Clean the aperture glass with alcohol.
04) Check whether it is in DMX mode with a high strobe frequency.
The laser is on, but the pattern is not moving
01) Check to see whether it is in sound-controlled mode without detecting sound signal.
02) Check to see whether it is in DMX mode.
03) Try to change the fixture to another mode.
04) Try to control the fixture via DMX to see the laser effect system.

Problem
Probable cause(s)
Solution
One or more
fixtures do not
function at all
No power to the fixture
• Check if power is switched on and
cables are plugged in
Primary fuse blown.
• Replace fuse.
Fixtures reset
correctly, but all
respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller
The controller is not connected.
• Connect controller.
3-pin XLR Out of the controller
does not match XLR Out of the first
fixture on the link (i.e. signal is
reversed)
• Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the
first fixture on the link
Fixtures reset
correctly, but
some respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller
Poor data quality
• Check data quality. If much lower
than 100 percent, the problem
may be a bad data link
connection, poor quality or
broken cables, missing termination
plug, or a defective fixture
disturbing the link
Bad data link connection
• Inspect connections and cables.
Correct poor connections. Repair
or replace damaged cables
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug
• Insert termination plug in output
jack of the last fixture on the link
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures
• Check address setting
One of the fixtures is defective and
disturbs data transmission on the
link
• Bypass one fixture at a time until
normal operation is restored:
unplug both connectors and
connect them directly together.
• Have the defective fixture
serviced by a qualified technician
