INNO POCKET Z4 MOUNTING
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be
able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When
installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety
attachment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly
below the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you
lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself. The
installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.k
The Inno Pocket Z4 is fully operational in three different mounting
positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, set on a at level surface,
or on its side attached to trussing. Be sure this xture is kept at least 0.5m
away from any ammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and
install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental
damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next page).

NOTICE: The suitable environmental temperature for this lighting
xture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting xture in
an environment where the temperatures are under or above the
temperatures stated above. This will allow the xture to run at its best
and help prolong the xture life.

2. Clamp Bolt
3. Truss Clamp Mounting Bracket
4. Eye-Screw
5. Safety-Cable
Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut to the included bracket.
Attach the bracket using the included screws to the bottom of the
Inno Pocket Z4. Attach the eyebolt to the bottom of the base and pull
the safety-cable through the screw and over the trussing system or
a safe xation spot. Insert the end in the carbine and tighten the
safety screw.

INNO POCKET Z4 DMX SET UP
Figure 1
Power Supply: The ADJ Inno Pocket Z4 contains a automatic volt-
age 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 xtures and controllers. A
DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from 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 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 rst
xture controlled by the controller could be the last xture in the
chain. 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 and primary/
Secondary Operation): The Inno Pocket Z4
can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
Inno Pocket Z4 three DMX channel modes;
16 channel mode, 19 channel mode, & 22
channel mode. The DMX address is set
electronically using the controls on the front
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

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Inno Pocket Z4 Instruction Manual Page 9
INNO POCKET Z4 DMX SET UP
Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all
professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made
with and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be
split.
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
con- nect 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 con- nected 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.

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids
signal transmission problems and interference.
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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512
data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting
standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adapter must be
used, these adapters are readily available at most electric stores. The
