Focus Spot One 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 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, instal-
lation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you
lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
The installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Focus Spot One is fully operational in three different positions: hanging upside-down from a
ceiling or trussing, mounted sideways on trussing, or set on a flat level surface. Be sure this fixture
is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install an
appropriately rated 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 fixture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C.
Do not place this lighting fixture in an enviroment where the temperatures fall outside of this range.
This will allow the fixture to run at its best and help prolong the fixture life.
Screw one clamp via an M12 screw and nut to the included bracket. Attach the bracket using the
omega locks to the bottom of the Focus Spot One. Attach and pull the safety-cable through one of
the safety holes located on the bottom base and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot.
Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

Focus Spot One DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Focus Spot One 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 protocol used by most lighting and
controller manufacturers 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 locat-
ed 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 controlled 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: The Focus Spot One can be controlled via DMX-512 pro-
tocol. The Focus Spot One has 2 DMX channel modes; 15 channel mode & 17 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 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may 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.

Focus Spot One DMX Set Up
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 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 connects (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 possiblity 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 fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When insert-
ing 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
