IMPORTANT
Installer and Users please note:
These instructions should be read carefully and left with
the user of the product for future reference.
BEFORE USE
You must inspect the product including its cable and plug
for any signs of damage. If the product is damaged, DO
NOT use it, and contact your supplier immediately.
INSTALLATION
A risk assessment should be carried out before
commencing work. Fix the luminaire with the brackets
provided. Fix each bracket to the end of the luminaire
using the thumbwheel bolt. Place the rubber washer
between the bracket and the end of the luminaire. The
luminaire may now be used free-standing on the floor, or
mounted to a wall or ceiling with screws through the
holes in the brackets.
If permanently installed, the luminaire must be installed
by a competent elecrician in accordance with the latest
IEE Wiring Regulations.
Either plug the lead into a 13 A socket, or remove the
13 A plug fitted, and wire directly to a fused spur, or
connect the luminaire to a switching unit such as the
NJ938.
The wires are colour-coded as follows:
• Brown = Live (phase)
• Blue = Neutral
• Green/Yellow = Earth
• The NJ164 must be earthed for safe and reliable
operation.
Page 2

Adjust the angle of the hanging bracket to obtain the
best display of the light beams.
If the luminaire it to be used DMX controlled or in
Master-slave mode, connect the DMX output from the
first luminaire to the DMX input of the second; connect
the DMX output from the second luminaire to the DMX
input of the third; continuing until all luminaires have
been connected. Up to 32 luminaires may be controlled
this way.
If the distance between luminaires is longer than the
length of the DMX input and output leads, waterproof
DMX extension leads are available, part numbers
NJ164B (2 m) and NJ164D (4 m). If the luminaires are
being used indoors, then the waterproof connectors may
be removed and replaced by standard XLR connectors.
The wire colours are as follows:
Green-yellow: ground (earth) (Pin 1)
Blue: Data− (Pin 2)
Brown: Data+ (Pin 3)
The pin numbers refer to 5-pin XLR connectors wired to
the DMX standard. There is no standard for the use of
3-pin XLR connectors for DMX.
PRODUCT SAFETY
This luminaire is for professional use only. It is the
owner's responsibility to ensure that all users are given
adequate supervision and instruction concerning the use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the luminaire.
• Do not stare into the beam.

• Do not place on carpet or other soft surfaces.
• Do not place the mains lead beneath a carpet or rug.
• Do not allow the cable to hang over the edge of a table.
• Arrange the cable so that it cannot cause a trip
hazard.
This symbol means that the luminaire should
mounted at least 0.3 m from any object that
it is illuminating.

GENERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS
Domestic wiring must be tested periodically by a qualified
electrician at least once every 10 years or at every
change of occupancy.
For office and retail premises, and buildings such as
village halls, the wiring must be inspected at least once
every 5 years.
It is recommended that all building be fitted with smoke
alarms (it is mandatory for new buildings). Ionisation-type
smoke alarms are recommended for buildings where
theatrical fog effects are to be used.
OPERATION
There are 3 modes of operation: Automatic, Master-
slave, Program selection, and DMX controlled.
The NJ164 is controlled by the 3 push-button switches
located below the LED display at one end.
The push-buttons operate as follows:
LEFT = MODE. A long press (>2 seconds) of the left
push-button changes the mode, a short press (<1
second) adjust other functions.
CENTRE = INCREASE
RIGHT = DECREASE

SLAVE mode:
A luminaire in slave mode copies the functions of a
luminaire to which it is connected by DMX. If there is
only ONE luminaire in use, DO NOT select slave mode.
To select slave mode, press press the MODE button for
>2 seconds and release, and repeat this until SLA is
shown in the display.
Built-in programs:
In this mode, it is possible to select the program, and for
some programs it is possible to select the colours.

DMX mode:
The NJ164 may be controlled from DMX in 6 different
modes:
2-channel mode uses two channels to control the
luminaire - the first channel selects the program, and the
second channel selects the speed.
Page 6

In 3-channel mode the luminaire is entirely illuminated in
the same colour. The three channels select the colour as
follows:
first channel - sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
second channel - sets the brightness of the green LEDs.
third channel - sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.
4-channel mode operates similarly to 3-channel mode
but with the addition of a master dimmer:
The first channel is the master dimmer.
The second channel sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
The third channel sets the brightness of the green LEDs.
The fourth channel sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.
In 7-channel mode , the channels operate as follows:
The first channel is the master dimmer.
The second channel sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
The third channel sets the brightness of the green LEDs.
The fourth channel sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.
The fifth channel selects the program.
The sixth channel sets the speed.
The seventh channel sets the flash time.
In 14-channel mode , the luminaire is controlled in four
segments.
The first channel is the master dimmer.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th channels control the first
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 5th, 6th and 7th channels control the second
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 8th, 9th and 10th channels control the third
Page 7

segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 11th, 12th and 13th channels control the fourth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The fourteenth channel sets the flash rate.
26-channel mode operates similarly to 14-channel
mode , except that the luminaire is divided into eight
segments instead of four.
The first channel is the master dimmer.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th channels control the first
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 5th, 6th and 7th channels control the second
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 8th, 9th and 10th channels control the third
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 11th, 12th and 13th channels control the fourth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 14nd, 15th and 16th channels control the fifth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 17th, 18th and 19th channels control the sixth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 20th, 21st and 22nd channels control the seventh
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 23rd, 24th and 25th channels control the eighth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 26th channel sets the flash rate.
In 2-channel and 7-channel modes, the program channel
(the 2nd channel in 2-channel mode, or the 5th channel
in 7-channel mode) operates as follows:
