1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x Pocket Cosmos™

• An Ever-So-Handy Power Cord

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one way cool, way original fat beam green laser! Now that

you’ve got your Pocket Cosmos™, you should carefully unpack the box and check the

contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it

has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material

for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a xture must

be returned to the factory, it is important that the xture be returned in the original factory

box and packing.

Powering Up!

All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run o a

rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer

channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the

xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the xture or

refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s listed current

rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the xture or device

carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct

line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line

voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied does

not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must

be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

LASER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Lasers are one of the coolest eects available, and when they are used appropri-

ately, they will be fun, legal and harmless. To make sure that is the case...

• Always set up and install all laser eects so that all laser light is at least 3 me-

ters (9.8 feet) above the oor on which people can stand.

• 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 dif-

fraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class

3R.

• NEVER point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or

laser beams.

• NEVER point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such

as uncontrolled balconies, etc.

• NEVER 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.

• NEVER expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.

• NEVER use laser if the laser appears to emit only one or two beams.

• NEVER 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 pro-

tective 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 from 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.

3. SETUP

Fuse Replacement

Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Then take out the dam-

aged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type of fuse.

Reattach the fuse holder, and then reconnect power.

Connecting A Bunch of Pocket Cosmos™ Fixtures

You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512

controller or to run shows on two or more xtures set to sync in mas-

ter/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required

by all the xtures on a serial data link determines the number of x-

tures the data link can support.

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.

Also, connecting more than 32 xtures on one serial data link without

the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration

of the digital DMX signal. The maximum recommended cable-run dis-

tance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The maximum recommended number

of xtures on a serial data link is 32 xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

To link xtures together you’ll need data cables. You should use data-

grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to

electromagnetic interference.

For instance, Belden© 9841 meets the specications for EIA RS-485

applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but

note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distanc-

es. In any event, the cable should have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Before replacing the fuse, disconnect the power cord.

ALWAYS replace it with the same type and rating.

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connec-

tor on the other end. (Duh!)

CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the

xture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground

loop, and your xture may perform erratically. Test cables with an

ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not

grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?

If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, it’s no problem! You can simply use the in-

stalled 5-pin DMX input and/or output connections found on the back of your xture(s).

Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

Data 1- (Primary Data Link) Pin 2 Pin 2

Data 1+ (Primary Data Link) Pin 3 Pin 3

Data 2- (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 4 Pin 4

Data 2+ (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 5 Pin 5

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control

Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector (output) on

the controller.

Step 2: Connect the female connector of the

DMX cable to the rst xture’s male connector

(input). Note: It doesn’t matter which

xture address is the rst one connected. We

recommend connecting the xtures in terms

of their proximity to the controller, rather than

connecting the lowest xture number rst, and

so on.

Step 3: Connect other xtures in the chain

from output to input as above. Place a DMX

terminator on the output of the nal xture to

ensure best communication.

Page 9

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the (male)

3-pin connector side of

the DMX cable to the

output (female) 3-pin

connector of the rst

xture.

2. Connect the end of

the cable coming from

the rst xture which

will have a (female)

3-pin connector to the

input connector of the

next xture consisting

of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output

as stated above to the input of the following xture and so on.

A quick note: Often, the setup for Master-Slave and Standalone

operation requires that the rst xture in the chain be initialized for

this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP-switches.

Secondarily, the xtures that follow may also require a slave setting.

Mounting & Rigging

This xture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is

enough room for ventilation.

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the

xture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. The clamp should be

rated to hold at least 10x the xture’s weight to ensure structural sta-

bility. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure

properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting xtures overhead.

Adjust the angle of the xture by loosening both knobs and tilting the

xture. After nding the desired position, retighten both knobs.

• When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp

replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.

• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.

• Never mount in places where the xture will be exposed to rain,

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
