ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Beam 5RX User Manual Page 8
Vizi Beam 5RX Important Discharge Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which is highly susceptible
to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the lamp with your
bare fingers, as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also,
never move the fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and
skin. The intense light output of the lamp can cause severe damage to
the retina. Never operate this unit without the covers in place, as these
covers have been specially designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epilepsy Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly into the lamp at all
times.
Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp life and
intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high pres-
sure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved in the operation of the
lamp, the lamp may explode if subjected to prolonged, extensive use. This risk is increased with age,
and therefore added care is required when dealing with older lamps. Extreme caution should be used
when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp. Never open this unit while in use.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is notice pertains to your personal safety as well as the preservation of the
fixture. The Philips® Platinum 5R Discharge lamp has a maximum lifetime of 3000 hours.
ADJ strongly recommends conducting periodic, regular checks of the lamp running time. When the
lamp approaches the 3000 hour mark, it is strongly recommended to replace the lamp.
Replace the lamp following the instructions described in the Lamp & Fuse Replacement section
of this manual. After replacing the lamp, you must clear the LAMP RUNNING TIME (see the System
Menu section of this manual for details on this procedure).
Warning: DO NOT exceed 3000 hours of run time on a lamp. Using the lamp any longer then
the maximum rated lifetime could cause serious damage to the fixture.
WARNING! CAUTION! FIRE HAZARD! DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT CAUSED BY THIS LAMP,
THE MINIMUM DISTANCE TO LIGHTED OBJECTS IS 12 METERS (40FT).

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Beam 5RX User Manual Page 9
Vizi Beam 5RX Mounting
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold at least 10 times the
weight of the device without any deformation. The unit must be secured with a secondary safety at-
tachment, such as an 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, 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.
These installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Vizi Beam 5RX is fully operational in two dierent mounting 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 an appropriately rated safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage
and/or injury in the event the clamp fails. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
NOTICE: The suitable enviromental temperature range for this xture is -25˚Cto45˚C. Do not place
this xture in an enviroment where the temperatures fall outside of this range. This will allow the x-
ture to run at its best and help prolong the xture life.

Vizi Beam 5RX Mounting
Attach one clamp to each Omega holder using an M12 screw and nut. Insert the quick-lock fasten-
ers of the rst Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the Vizi Beam 5RX. Tighten
the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise, then repeat the procedure to install the second Omega
holder. Pull the safety-cable through the openings located on the base plate and over the trussing
system or a safe xation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Beam 5RX User Manual Page 11
Vizi Beam 5RX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ® Vizi Beam 5RX contains a electronic ballast, which will automatically
sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not
need to worry about wall voltage, as it 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 manufacturers 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, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when connecting several fixtures together. 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. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX control-
ler 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 Vizi
Beam 5RX can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Vizi Beam 5RX can operate as either a 16
or 19 channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the side 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 mak-
ing your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be pur-
chased at almost all professional sound andlighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male
XLR connector on one end and female XLR connector on the other. Also remember that DMX cable
must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Beam 5RX User Manual Page 12
Vizi Beam 5RX 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 into contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield
could cause a short circuit and lead to 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 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 reduce the chance 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 cables. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When
inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to 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.
