Inno Pocket Beam Q4 Safety Precautions

The Inno Pocket Beam Q4 is fully operational in two dierent mount-
ing positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a at
level surface. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the
unit on its side as illustrated above. 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 pre-
vent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see
next page).
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, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculat-
ing working load limits, installation 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 installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

Power Supply: The ADJ Inno Pocket Beam Q4 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 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 fix-
ture. 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 dierent 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 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 (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The Inno Pocket Beam Q4 can be controlled via DMX-512
protocol. The Inno Pocket Beam Q4 has three DMX channel modes;
10 channel mode, 11 channel mode, & 13 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 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 purchased at almost all professional
Inno Pocket Beam Q4 DMX Set Up
Figure 1
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 Beam Q4. Attach the eyehole screw
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 carabine and tighten the safety screw.
NOTICE: The suitable enviromental temperature for this light-
ing 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.

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 stan-
dard 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.

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.

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.
