Overhead Rigging - Briteq CLUB LASER 7 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH

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 below 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 installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device's
weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device 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 them for the first time. The installations should be inspected 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 AND CONTROL THE UNIT
 Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed 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.
Good to know: the first 10 seconds after the laser is switched on, none of the controls can be used!
You can operate the unit in 5 ways:
1) MUSIC CONTROLLED MODE:
The laser runs a preprogrammed sequence to the rhythm of the music.
Select this mode when only 1 laser is used (standalone) or when the laser
is placed as the first (master) unit in a chain with several "Club Laser 7"
units.
 Refer to the drawing on the right: put DIP-switch n°10 in OFF position
(setting of the other DIP-switches is not important)
2) MASTER/SLAVE MODE:
You can connect several lasers together. Please put the first unit of the chain in "Music mode" and all
other units in "Slave mode" to make them all work in perfect sync!

ENGLISH
 Link the DMX in/outputs of all lasers together with proper DMX-cables
(see drawing)
 The unit with no cable at the DMX-input will be the master: put DIP-
switch n°10 of the master in OFF position (setting of the other DIP-
switches is not important)
 On all slave units DIP-switch n°10 must be put in ON-position while DIP-
switches 1 to 9 are set to OFF (refer to the drawing)
 Put on some music and adjust the MUSIC SENSITIVITY-knob (14) until
the laser works nicely to the rhythm of the music.
3) FULL AUTOMATIC MODE:
The laser automatically runs a preprogrammed sequence.
 Refer to the drawing on the right: put DIP-switches n°9 and 10 in ON
position (setting of the other DIP-switches is not important)
4) DMX512 MODE:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal 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
end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.
This is how you must setup and use the CLUB LASER 7:
 Connect the unit to a DMX-controller using a suitable DMX-cable.
 Determine which DMX address the laser needs.
 Set DIP-switch n° 10 in "ON" position.
 Set DIP-switch n°9 in "OFF" position.
 You will have to set the DMX starting address with the DIP-switches 1 to
8. Each of these switches has a corresponding DMX-value written
under it. You can combine the values of these switches to obtain any
starting address between 001 and 255:
Dip #1 #2 #3
Value 1 2 4
Begin address = 01  switch 1=ON
Begin address = 05  switch 1+3=ON
Begin address = 09  switch 1+4=ON
Begin address = 13  switch 1+3+4=ON
...
Begin address = 62  switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON
 The display helps you to check if the desired starting address is correct.
 Once the address is set you can switch the unit on with the mains on/off switch (1).
