Hanging bracket positioning:

When you rst open the Trinity Beam carton, you will notice that the hanging bracket is placed on

back of the unit, this is for installation set up (g 1). For mobile rigging use, please attach the extra

brackets (included in the carton) to the additional screw holes on the side of the xture (g 2).

Operation modes:

The Trinity Beam has 4 modes of operation as follows:

1, Sound active mode

To select sound active mode set dip switch 10 to ON and all others to OFF. You can now use the

sensitivity control on the back panel to set the required sound level.

2, Auto run mode

To select auto pattern mode, set dip switch 9 and 10 to the ON position and all others to OFF.

The Trinity Beam will now cycle through all it’s internal patterns.

3, DMX mode

To select DMX mode, set dip switch 10 to OFF. You can now set the required DMX address using

dip switches 1 to 9. Please refer to the chart below for DMX functions.

The DMX address starts at 1.

4, Master/slave mode

To set the unit/s in slave mode, set dip switch 3 to the ON position and all others to OFF. The

Trinity Beam laser/s will now run in sequence with the master unit.

DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest exibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of

the xture and each xture independently.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a

“start address” from 1- 511. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the

data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7

channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from

channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used

do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

Set the start address using the group of dip switches located usually on the back of the xture.

Each dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will

provide the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specic start address

can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible

from the selected start address until zero is achieved.

EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS

Address 10

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Pin NO: 2 = 2

Total = 10

Address 24

Pin NO: 5 = 16

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Total = 24

DMX address using

simple maths

233 - (128 = 105,Turn on dip No: 8

105 - (64) = 41,Turn on dip No:7

41 - (32) = 9,Turn on dip No: 6

9 - (8) = 1,Turn on dip No: 4

1 - (1) = 0,Turn on dip No:1

You will most likely use the first available

number which maybe Number 1.This

Equinox Trinity Beam Laser DMX control mode

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the

controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the

DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (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 xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the

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

inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to 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

xture 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 operation):

• The Equinox Trinity Beam laser can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set

on the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector

for data input/output (gure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Equinox Trinity Beam Laser DMX Set Up

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all

good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight

dealers.

CABL10 – 2M

CABL11 – 5M

CABL12 – 10M

Notice:

• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. 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 behaviour.

Special Note: Line termination:

• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to

avoid erratic behaviour.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin

XLR xtures 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. The Chart below details the

correct cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Installation and Operation Notes

1. The laser should only be installed and operated by those that are aware of how

to operate laser, and what the various controls perform. The keyswitch provided

on the laser should help to prevent use by unintended people.

2. The laser should be mounted in a suitable and secure position in the venue, so

that once in position it is unlikely to be affected by unintended movement.

3. Prior to installation and operation of the laser, the paths of the beams and

effects should be considered, particularly with respect to how they will touch the

audience. If direct audience scanning is desired then the laser energy in the

effects needs to be considered to decide if the effects are safe for direct

viewing.

Introduction

Laser lighting products are used to create some of the most vivid and striking visual effects, and

are often noted for how they seem to produce solid shapes that cut through the air, and pick up

highly dened swirling smoke patterns. The light that is used to create these stunning effects is

different from normal light and therefore several precautions need to taken when using lasers to

ensure that the lighting effects are safe and enjoyable to view. The optical power output from the

kind of lasers used for lighting displays can be harmful if not properly setup or is misused. But

when used following the recommended health and safety guidelines, laser lighting effects no more

harmful than looking at any conventional lighting effect.

This guide has been put together to provide you with some background information about laser

safety, and guidance on the recommended health and safety requirements for using lasers in

public places. Although this guide covers the main points to consider when using laser effects,

users are advised to familiarise themselves with other guidance, particularly that issued by the

Health and Safety Executive, HS(G)95 The Radiation Safety Of Lasers Used For Display

Purposes, which is freely downloadable from the HSE website. Attending one of the laser safety

training courses, listed at the end of this guide, is also highly recommended.

Important Warnings

Class 3B Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly in the face, and

in many instances this may be the case, even if viewed over longer distances of several

tens of metres. Therefore before using the laser product you should familiarise yourself

with its operation, and also the safety aspects that need to be considered.

Laser lighting effects are quite safe to watch if installed and used correctly, and being

aware of a few basic factors will help you to achieve this. This guide has been prepared to

help provide a basic backgrounder to the key safety aspects, and is based on current UK

health and safety guidance on the use of lasers for public displays.
