Proper laser set up & usage
This xture has been designed to be hung. It is recommended for safety
purposes, that your lighting effects are properly mounted using a suitable
hanging clamp and safety cable. Items appropriate for safe and effective
mounting are easily sourced from your lighting vendor.
International laser safety regulations require that lasers must be operated
in the way illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 ft) of
vertical separation between the oor and the lowest laser light vertically.
Additionally, 2.5 meters of horizontal separation is required between laser
light and audience or other public spaces.
Installing the fixture
Please consider the respective national norms during the
installation! The installation must only be carried out by an
authorized employee or dealers!
X The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way
that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour.
X The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety
attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety
attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation
can fall down if the main attachment fails.
X Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted
persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
X The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-
technical installations are approved by an expert before the laser device
is taken into initial operation and after changes have been done. This
approval has to be repeated once a year.

Power supply
To determine the power requirements for a particular xture, see the label
afxed to the back plate of the xture or refer to the xture’s specications
chart. A xture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under
normal conditions. All xtures 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 xture, check that the source voltage
matches the xture’s requirement.
DMX-512 connection between fixtures
The xture is equipped with 3-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.
The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable
designed for 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the
controller with the xture or one xture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection
Caution! At the last xture please use a DMX terminator. That is
a XLR plug with a 110 ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3. Plug
that terminator into the DMX output of the last xture.
Building a serial DMX chain
X If you are using standard DMX-controllers, you can connect the DMX-
output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the rst xture in the
