Boom Box FX2 Laser Warnings and Safety

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING

The Royal Sky contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing, due

to the potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is

opened, can cause instant blindness, skin burns and fires.

STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY

The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used

properly. The light source emitted from a laser is very different from any other light sources with

which you may be aware of. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than any light from

any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by

burning the retina (the back of your eyeball contatining cells that are sensitive to light). 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 beam light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye

injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.

Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that the laser

beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This

laser 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.

Do not 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 even the smallest possi-

bility 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.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Boom Box FX2 User Manual Page 7

- After setting up, and before 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 diraction 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 reective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even

laser reections can be hazardous.

- Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal oense.

- 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, the housing is 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

res, 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 require-ments at the location/country of use.

- Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and eects overhead.

Boom Box FX2 DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Boom Box FX2 contains an automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense

the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry

about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and

controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A

DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as

serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals locat-

ed on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be

linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX

compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use

the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not

influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed

anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is

assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that

unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Primary/Secondary Operation): The

Boom Box FX2 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Boom Box FX2 is has 2 DMX channel

modes, a 3 channel mode and 19 channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the

controls on the back panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-

512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX

cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable

(This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables

should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember

that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot Figure 1 be split.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Boom Box FX2 User Manual Page 9

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the

ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug

or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield

could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Boom Box FX2 DMX Set Up

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a ter-

minator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor

which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is

inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a

cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Boom Box FX2 User Manual Page 10

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission

in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting

standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are

readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

3-pin XLR to 5-pin XLR Conversion

Conductor 3-pin XLR Female (out) 5-pin XLR Male (In)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

Data Compliment (- signal) Pin 2 Pin 2

Data True (+ signal) Pin 3 Pin 3

Not Used Pin 4 - Do Not Use

Not Use Pin 5 - Do Not Use

Boom Box FX2 DMX Set Up

The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), axing it to the mounting

bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is rmly xed to avoid vibration

and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is

secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable

that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the xture.

The equipment must be installed by a professional, and it must be installed in a place where it is out

of the reach of people’s grasp.
