Warlock Safety Precautions
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Warlock Instruction Manual Page 5ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Warlock Instruction Manual Page 4
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 war-
ranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and skin.
The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina.
Never operate this unit without it’s covers, these covers have been specially
designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epileptic Warning: Those suering from epilepsy should avoid looking
directly into the lamp at all times.
Avoid switching the xture on and o 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 pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to
the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may
explode during prolonged extensive use. This risk is increased with age,
added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Extreme caution
should be used when operating this or any xture tted with a gas discharge
lamp. Never open this unit while in use.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is for your safety and the life length of the unit.
The Philips® Platinum 2R Discharge lamp has lifetime of 6000 hours.
ADJ recommends periodically checking the lamp running time. See page 17
“Lamp Time”. When the lamp reaches the 6000 hour mark, or close to it, we
strongly suggest you switch the lamp out.
Clear the LAMP RUNNING TIME after you have replaced the lamp. See page
17 “Reset Lamp Time”
Warning: DO NOT use this lamp more then 6000 hours. Using the lamp
any longer then the set life could seriously damage your unit.

Warlock Mounting Warlock Mounting
The Warlock is fully operational in three dierent mounting positions,
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). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
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.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut onto the supplied
mounting bracket. Pull the safety-cable through the hole on the
safety cable bracket that is attached to back of unit 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.

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.

Power Supply: The ADJ Warlock contains an electronic ballast,
which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into a 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 Warlock can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The Warlock has 8 DMX channels. The DMX address is set electroni-
cally using the controls on the rear side 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 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

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.
