  • Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. See page 33 for cleaning details.
  • Heat -This fixture should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
  • The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

    B. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
    C. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Saber Spot RGBW 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 protocol 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 fixture. 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 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 (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): The Saber Spot RGBW can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Saber Spot RGBW has 12 DMX channel modes. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear 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 daisy chained and cannot be split. Saber Spot RGBW 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.

XLR Pin Configuration
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Data Compliment (negative)
Pin 3 = Data True (positive)

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 connected 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.

Figure 4
Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problemsand interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 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 electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Operation

Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the colors, master dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

  1. The Saber Spot RGBW has 12 DMX channel modes. See pages 17-26 for detailed description of the DMX values and traits.
  2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages 7-9 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ- ed with your DMX controller.
  3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
  4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
  5. Follow the instruction on page 9 to select your DMX channel mode and set your desired DMX address.
  6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.
  7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.

Master Slave Set Up

Master-Slave Operation This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. In a Master-Slave set up, one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.

  1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only – The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
  2. On the Master unit find your desired operating mode.
  3. On the slave units press the MENU button until “Slave” is displayed.
  4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

Installing the Frost Lens

The Saber Spot RGBW Plus comes with 2 frost filters. Install the filter in front of the lens and put the inlcuded retainer ring on top of the lens to hold it in place.

UC IR Operation

The UC IR (sold separately) infrared remote gives you control of various functions (See below). To control the fixture you must aim the remote at the front of the fixture and be no more than 30 feet away.

The Saber Spot RGBW is also compatible with the Airstream IR app. The IR transmitter is available through any ADJ dealer or through the ADJ parts website. Plug the transmitter into the headphone jack of your iOS phone or tablet. To control your IR fixture you must raise the volume to the maximum on your iOS phone or tablet and aim the transmitter at the front of the fixture and be no more than 15 feet away. After you have purchased the Airstream IR transmitters, the app is a free download from the app store for your iOS phone or tablet. The app comes with 3 pages of control depending on the IR fixture you are using. Please see below for IR functions including the corresponding app page.

Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis.
Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output

  1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
  2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
  3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
  4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 30-60 days.
  5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
