OVERVIEW

DMX SET UP
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of commu-
nication 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 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, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when linking several DMX xtures. 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. 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 Focus Prole can be controlled
via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the front panel of the xture. Your unit and your
DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. We recom-
mend 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 purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables
should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector on the other.
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow gures 1 and 2 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 may result in erratic behavior.
9

10
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.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA trans-
mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When insert-
ing standard 5-pin data cables into a 3-pin line, a cable adaptor must be used. These adaptors are
readily available at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and lasers which
are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ
lighting fixtures can cause severe internal damage including burning of optics, dichroic color filters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, irises, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not unique to ADJ lighting fixtures; it is a common issue with lighting fixtures from all
manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the guide-
lines below can reduce the risk of any potential damage if followed. Contact ADJ Service for more
details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING
UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS.
DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS
ANOTHER.
INSTALLATION

CLAMP INSTALLATION
This fixture features multiple mounting clamp attachment points, as well as a safety cable attach-
ment point, located on the bottom face of the fixture (see the illustration below). When mounting the
fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to secure appropriately
rated clamps (not included) to the clamp attachment points and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE
of the appropriate safety rating to the safety cable rigging point.
SAFETY CABLE
ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY
CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING
THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED
ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE
THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT
FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.
RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to: calculating working
load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the fixture itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt to perform
the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
