Pocket Pro Safety Precautions

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Pocket Pro User Manual Page 7
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 attach-
ment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the unit when mounting, remov-
ing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installa-
tion material being used, and perodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack
these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
The installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
Pocket Pro Mounting
The Pocket Pro is fully operational in three dierent mounting posi-tions, hanging upside-down from
a ceiling, mounted sideways on trussing, or set on a at level surface. 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 enviromental temperature for this lighting xture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C.
Do not place this lighting xture in an enviroment 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.
Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut to the included bracket. Attach the bracket using the in-
cluded screws to the bottom of the Pocket Pro. Pull the safety-cable through the side holes located
underneath the handles. Run the safety cable over the trussing system or a safe xation spot. Insert
the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

Pocket Pro DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Pocket Pro contains a 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 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 locat-
ed on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of dierent manufacturers 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 con-
trolled by the controller could be the last xture in the chain. When a xture is assigned a DMX ad-
dress 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
Pocket Pro can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Pocket Pro two DMX channel modes; 11
channel mode & 13 channel mode. The DMX address is set using the controls on the front panel of
the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 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 may be pur-
chased 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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission
in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures 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, these adaptors are
readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
3-pin XLR to 5-pin XLR Conversion
Conductor 3-pin XLR Female (out) 5-pin XLR Male (In)
Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1
Data Compliment (- signal) Pin 2 Pin 2
Data True (+ signal) Pin 3 Pin 3
Not Used Pin 4 - Do Not Use
Not Use Pin 5 - Do Not Use
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 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 ter-
minator 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.
