3 Safety Notes
The set corresponds to all relevant directives
of the EU and is therefore marked with .
3.1 Special safety notes
for the laser unit
The laser unit features class 2M lasers . The
laser diodes have the following power and
wavelengths:
Power
Wavelength
green laser
30 mW
532 nm
red laser
100 mW
650 nm
WARNING
1 . Do not stare into the beam!
A short-period exposure
(0 .25 seconds max .) to the
laser beam, however, is not
hazardous to the eye .
2 . Do not view the laser beam with optical
instruments (e . g . magnifier or telescope);
the retina may be permanently damaged .
3 . Never point the laser beam at the eyes
of persons or animals . Be aware of beam
reflections on shiny surfaces; make sure
that reflections of the laser beam do not
hit the eye .
4 . Do not open or modify the unit . Any
modification may result in a more haz-
ardous laser radiation (higher laser class) .
5 . Never leave the laser unit unattended
during operation .
3.2 General safety notes
WARNING
The set uses dangerous mains
voltage . Leave servicing to
skilled personnel and do not
insert anything into the air
vents . Inexpert handling may
result in electric shock .
•
The set is suitable for indoor use only . Pro-
tect it against dripping water, splash water
and high air humidity . The admissible ambi-
ent temperature range is 0 – 40 °C .
•
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid,
e . g . drinking glasses, on the unit .
•
Immediately disconnect the mains plug
from the socket
1 . if the set or the mains cable is visibly
damaged,
2 . if a defect might have occurred after the
set was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3 . if malfunctions occur .
In any case the set must be repaired by
skilled personnel .
•
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect
the mains plug from the socket, always
seize the plug .
•
No guarantee claims for the set and no lia-
bility for any resulting personal damage or
material damage will be accepted if the set
is used for other purposes than originally
intended, if it is not safely installed or not
correctly connected or operated, or if it is
not repaired in an expert way .
If the set is to be put out of oper-
ation definitively, take it to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which
is not harmful to the environment .
4 Before Operation
Install the set safely and expertly . From a legal
point of view, the person setting up the unit
with its additional components (e . g . mirrors,
lenses, projection surface) to create a laser
effect installation, is the manufacturer of this
installation .
Always observe the warning
notes in chapter 3.1.
WARNING
Always observe the regula-
tions of the country where the
set is operated!
When installing the set at a place where
people may walk or sit under it, use a safety
rope to additionally secure the set . Attach
the safety rope to the eyebolt (14) in such
a way that the maximum falling distance of
the set will not exceed 20 cm .
Set up or install the FXBAR-5SET in such a way
that sufficient air circulation will be ensured
during operation . Always observe a minimum
distance of 50 cm from the laser unit and the
spotlights /derby lights to the projection sur-
face . Never cover the air vents of the housing .
4.1 Operation with a stand
1) Place the stand on a horizontal, solid
ground . For a safe position, spread the
legs of the stand as far as possible and
secure them with the locking screw .
2) Place the controller with the lights already
installed onto the stand and secure it with
the locking screw .
3) To adjust the desired height: Pull out the
telescopic tube and put the safety pin
through the two holes for the height de-
sired, then slide back the tube until the
safety pin rests on the outer tube . Use
the knob screw to additionally secure the
telescopic tube .
IMPORTANT!
•
Make sure that the stand is stable . Only pull
out the telescopic tube to such an extent
that the stand cannot fall over .
•
Prior to operation, check all locking screws
and fasten them, if required .
•
Lay the connection cables in such a way
that nobody will trip over the cables and
knock over the stand .
4.2 Fixed installation
For fixed installation to a wall or ceiling, find a
suitable location for the two mounting brack-
ets (8) and fasten them expertly . Use the knob
screws provided (9) to fasten the controller to
the brackets .
4.3 Aligning the spotlights/
derby lights and the laser unit
For aligning, unscrew the corresponding lock-
ing screws and turn/tilt the units in the de-
sired direction . Make sure that the cables are
neither squeezed nor stretched . Then fasten
the screws again .
4.4 Power supply
Use the mains cable provided to connect the
mains jack “230 V~/ 50 Hz” (2) of the FX-
BAR-5SET to a mains socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
The unit will be switched on . The display will
briefly indicate the firmware version (e . g .
) and the operating mode most recently
selected .
When multiple FXBAR-5SET are used,
use a mains cable with 3-pin IEC plug and
3-pin IEC inline jack (e . g . AAC-170 / SW from
MONACOR) to connect the jack POWER LINK
(1) of the first unit to the mains jack (2) of the
second unit . Connect the second unit to the
third unit etc . until all units have been con-
nected in a chain . Thus, up to 15 FXBAR-5SET
can be interconnected .
The jack POWER LINK can also be used
for power supply of other (light effect) units .
However, the current load of the jacks POWER
LINK and “230 V~/ 50 Hz” must not exceed
6 .3 A; otherwise, overload may result in short
circuit and fire . The fuse will not protect these
jacks .
4.5 Wireless footswitch
When the wireless footswitch is used, unfold
its transmitting antenna and the reception
antenna (12) of the controller and put both
antennas in a vertical position .
4.5.1 Conformity and approval
Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL de-
clare that the wireless footswitch and the
reception electronics of the light effect
set FXBAR-5SET comply with the directive
2014 / 53 / EU . The EU declaration of conform-
ity is available on request from MONACOR
INTERNATIONAL .The units are generally
approved for operation in EU and EFTA coun-
tries; they are
licence-free and require no
registration.
