Non Interlocked Housing Warning  
This unit contains high power laser devices internally.  
Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser  
radiation.  
The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness, skin  
burns, and fires.  
Laser Safety Notes  
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW  
Laser Light is different from any other light sources with which you may be familiar. The light  
from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light  
is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This  
concentration of light 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 entertainment products split the laser into  
hundreds of beams that 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 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). 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. In 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.  
Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical  
data in this manual.  
Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8  
feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See “Proper Usage” section later in this  
manual.  
After set up, and prior to public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any  
defect is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser beams rather than  
dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could  
allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.  
Do not point lasers at people or animals.  
Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.  
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as  
uncontrolled balconies, etc.  
Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny  
metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.  
Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.  
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.  
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.  
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.  
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in  
any way.  
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective  
housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.  
Never leave this device running unattended.  
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a  
skilled and well-trained operator, familiar with the data included in this manual.  
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to  
country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.  
Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.

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 on 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.  
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the  
EIA-485 standard no more than 32 fixtures should be connected on one data link.  
Connecting more than 32 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 serial data link distance: 500 m (1640 ft)  
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32  
Data Cabling  
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET certified DMX  
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your  
own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to  
electromagnetic interference.  
DMX Data Cable  
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485  
applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances.  
The cable must have the following characteristics:  
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield  
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.  
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.  
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.  
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms  
Cable Connectors  
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

Setting the Starting Address  
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start  
address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the  
channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses 6 DMX channels and was addressed  
to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose  
start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start address selected for future  
reference.  
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol, we suggest reviewing the  
Appendix Section and reading the “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help you  
understand its use.

5. APPENDIX  
DMX Primer  
There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture  
capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must  
assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller.  
There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total  
number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels  
should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting  
address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the  
same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In  
other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.  
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection  
is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in  
which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller  
communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.  
Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female  
connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data
