Introduction: The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW is a modern LED twist to the traditional
halogen Par Can. The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW powered by a potent 115W quad
C.O.B. LED (Chip On Board) with red, green, blue & white colors. Its output is
comparable to a 1,000W halogen sealed beam Par. It is equipped with 5 different beam
angle options (that may be changed by hand) while powerCON In/Out allows for the
fixture to be daisy chained. 5-pin DMX control offers a variable strobe rate and 5
different dimming curve options.
The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW allows lighting and stage designers the look of the
traditional stage par with the technological conveniences of modern day lighting. The
advantages include low power draw (fixture and performers won’t get hot on stage),
DMX control of dimming and strobe (no dimmer controllers need, and optional
additional accessories for customization. This fixture is suitable for theaters, studios,
retail stores, and other similar locations. For best results use fog or special effects
smoke to enhance the beams pr ojections.

Overview

!
ADJ Products, LLC !ww.adj.com !PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW User Instructions Page 8
Power Supply: The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW 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 pro tocol 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 located 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. Therefore, the first
fixture contr olled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 Master/Slave
Operation): The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW can be controlled via DMX-512
protocol. The PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW three DMX channel modes; 1 channel
mode, 2 channel mode, & 3 channel mode. The DMX address is set
electronically using the controls on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and
your DMX controller require an 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 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 be split.!

ADJ Products, LLC !ww.adj.com !PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW User Instructions Page 9
Notice: Be sure to follow figures 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.
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 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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. This unit use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for
DATA transmission. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX
line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables 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.

The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), affixing it to the
mounting bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is firmly
fixed 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 fixture. It is recommended that a professional
installs the equipment and it must be installed in a place where it is out of the reach of
people’s grasp in the height of 0 to 30m.
!
Connect the fixtures together in a “daisy chain” by connecting a XLR cable from
the output of one fixture to the input of the next fixture. The DMX output and input
connectors are pass‐through to maintain the DMX circuit when the power to one of
the units is disconnected. At the last fixture, use a line terminator (see DMX Set Up on
page 9). Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by
the controller. The address number is between 0‐511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1). The
maximum number of fixtures that can be connected on one power cable is 15 fixtures
at 120V or 24 fixtures at 240V (including the first fixture).
Note: Use caution when power linking other fixtures to the PAR Z120/ZP120 RGBW as the
power consumption of other lighting fixtures will vary. The XLR cable cannot be
branched or split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or
corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
Unplug the unit from any power source it may be connected to. Once the power has
been disconnected, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder located
above the powerCON input. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one, and
screw the fuse holder back in.
