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.
You can operate the unit in several ways:
1) STANDALONE MODE USING THE BUILD-IN PROGRAMS (MASTER):
The laser runs a preprogrammed sequence automatically or 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 BT-LASER1500 RGB lasers (master/slave mode).
Press the FUNC-button (the display starts blinking) until the display shows AUTO SHOW1, AUTO
SHOW2, MUSIC SHOW1 or MUSIC SHOW2
Press the UP / DOWN buttons to choose one of the shows:
AUTO SHOW 1&2: Ever-changing automatic show
MUSIC SHOW 1&2: The show will be triggered by the music.
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice. (the display stops blinking and the selected mode is
activated)
Put on some music and adjust the MUSIC SENSITIVITY-knob (10) until the laser works nicely to the
rhythm of the music.
You can connect several BT-LASER1500 RGB lasers together: just put the first unit of the chain in one of
these standalone modes and all the other units in "Slave mode" to make them all work in perfect sync!
Note: When no music is detected, the laser output will be shut off (blackout).
2) SLAVE MODE:
The laser follows the instructions given by the first BT-LASER1500 RGB laser (master) in the chain.
Connect the DMX input of the laser to the DMX output of the previous laser in the chain.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows "SLAVE"
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
You can connect several BT-LASER1500 RGB lasers together. Please put the first unit of the chain in
"Music or automatic mode" and all other units in "Slave mode" to make them all work in perfect sync!
3) ILDA CONTROL:
This laser can be controlled by any PC equipped with ILDA compatible software + hardware. As soon as
the ILDA-input (6) of the laser is connected with an ILDA compatible controller, it will automatically switch
to ILDA control mode. From this moment the laser will be completely controlled by the ILDA software: the
possibilities of the ILDA software will determine what you can do or not...
ILDA soft- and hardware are available from several independent suppliers. Some possible choices are:
-
PHOENIX software (http://www.phoenix-showcontroller.de)
-
PANGOLIN software (www.pangolin.com/QS/)
And many other, up to you and your finances to see what is best for your needs ...
