SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

LASER ACCESSION NUMBER: 2210851-000

After completing setup, and before public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defects are detected. Do not use if the laser emits only a few laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of laser intensity levels that exceed Class 3R.

• Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or directly at laser beams.
• Do not point lasers into areas with a high risk of unintentional or harmful exposure, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
• Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft. This is a federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use if the laser appears to be emitting only a few beams.
• Do not use if the housing is damaged, the housing is open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
• Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires, burn skin, and will cause instantaneous eye injury.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
• The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator who is familiar with the information enclosed in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for determining the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
• Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.

OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.

When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold at least 10 times the weight of the unit and any attached accessories without any deformation. The unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriately-rated safety cable.

Before rigging/mounting a single fixture to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.

Maximum ambient operating temperature is 104°F (40°C).

Fixture(s) should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.

Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, knowledge of installation material being used, and parodic safety inspection of all installation material as well as the unit itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.

The installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

CLAMP MOUNTING

This fixture features an adjustable mounting bracket with a built-in mounting clamp attachment point. Additionally, the unit also features a safety cable loop located at the base of the mounting bracket (see the illustration below). When mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the mounting bracket, and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate weight rating to the provided safety cable loop.

SAFETY CABLE:

**ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.**

The adjustable mounting bracket allows the fixture’s lens to be aimed vertically, horizontally, or any angle in between. After positioning your device as desired, make sure to tighten the bracket adjustment knob to ensure that the unit is firmly secured in place.

NOTICE: The maximum ambient operational temperature for this lighting fixture is 104° F (40° C). Do not place this lighting fixture in an environment where the temperatures exceed this value. This will allow the fixture to run at its best and help prolong the fixture life.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This protocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

FIXTURE RDM INFORMATION:

0x0202 (7CH)

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the features that you require.

CONTROL PANEL

DMX SET UP

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used 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 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 linking several DMX fixtures. 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. 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 Operation): This unit can be controlled via DMX512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector at the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow the illustration below 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 reduce the risk of erratic behavior.

A OMX512 terminator reduces signal errors, avoiding most signal reflection interference. Connect PIN 2 (OMX-) and PIN 3 (OMX+) of the last fixture in series with a 120 Ohm, 1/4 W Resistor to terminate the OMX512.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line by using a cable adapter. These adaptors are readily available at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

DMX ADDRESSING.

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

For example, when operating this unit in 6-channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (1 + 6 + 6), and so on. See the chart below for more details.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP

This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary.

Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:

1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
2. Use the display screen and control panel to navigate to the “Primary / Secondary” setting in the main menu. Select this setting using the ENTER button, and use the arrows to toggle between “Primary”, “Secondary1”, and “Secondary2”. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each unit in the system. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the Primary, while all other units are designated as Secondaries.
4. The secondary units will act in conjunction with the primary unit. Note that secondary units set to the “Secondary1” setting will follow the motions of the primary, while those set to the “Secondary2” setting will move in contrast to the primary

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. Clean the external lens surface regularly with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

A. A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
B. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
C. Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
D. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
