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
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 Twin
Effect lasers.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows one of the following: SoN, AUN, Sod, AUd, SoP or AUP.
Now use the UP or DOWN buttons to select:
o
Son
(Sound activated random show, containing pattern and grating effects)
Sod
(Sound activated grating effects show)
o
SoP
(Sound activated pattern effects show)
o
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
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 Twin Effect lasers together: just put the first unit of the chain in one of the sound
activated effect modes and all other units in "Slave mode" (display shows "SLA") to make them all work in
perfect sync!
Note: When no music is detected, the laser output will be shut off (blackout).
2) FULL AUTOMATIC MODE:
The laser automatically runs a preprogrammed sequence. 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 Twin Effect lasers.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows one of the following: SoN, AUN, Sod, AUd, SoP or AUP.
Now use the UP or DOWN buttons to select:
AUn
(Automatically running random show, containing pattern and grating effects)
o
o
AUd
(Automatically running grating effects show)
AUP
(Automatically running pattern effects show)
o
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
The laser automatically runs a preprogrammed sequence.
You can connect several Twin Effect lasers together: just put the first unit of the chain in one of the
automatic effect modes and all other units in "Slave mode" (display shows "SLA") to make them all work in
perfect sync!
3) SLAVE MODE:
The laser follows the instructions given by the first Twin Effect 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 "SLA"
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
You can connect several Twin Effect lasers together. Please put the first unit of the chain in "Music or
automatic mode" and all other units in "Slave mode" (display shows "SLA" to make them all work in perfect

4) EASY CONTROLLER MODE:
An optional CA-8 controller can be connected so you can control the laser from a
distance. When several Twin Effect lasers are connected in master/slave, you should
connect the CA-8 controller to the first unit in the chain. All units will follow the
instructions given by the CA-8 remote.
Connect the CA-8 controller to the remote controller input (8) on the back.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows "CA8"
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
These are the functions available on the CA-8 controller:
STANDBY button: used to put the laser in blackout (no output). The standby LED
is on during blackout.
FUNCTION button: used to select the color (original green red green +
red original)
MODE button: used to toggle two modes:
MODE LED ON: Laser is in sound mode
MODE LED OFF: Laser is in automatic mode
5) DMX512 MODE:
The laser can be controlled by any standard DMX-controller in 2 different DMX-modes:
1 CHANNEL MODE: for extremely easy setup and use! (display shows "1Ch")
10 CHANNEL MODE: for full control of all possibilities. (display shows "10C")
Connect the DMX input of the laser to the DMX output of the previous unit in the chain or directly to the
DMX-output of your controller.
Press the FUNC-button until the display shows: "1Ch" or "10C".
Press the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired DMX-mode. (1Ch or 10C)
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
Press the FUNC-button: the 3 digit number on the display starts blinking.
Select the desired DMX-address
Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice.
Note: the display blinks when the unit is in DMX-mode and no DMX-signal is detected.
Some more information on DMX512:
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.
