RDM PARAMETERS & CODES
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, and allows 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:
Device ID | Device Model ID | RDM Code | Personality ID |
---|---|---|---|
Random | 0X0525 | 0x1900 | 0X0102(10CH) |
0X0202 (12CH)
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.

DMX SETUP
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): The unit can be
controlled via DMX512 protocol, and features multiple DMX channel modes. Your
unit and your DMX controller require a 3-pin XLR connector for data input and
data output. 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 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.
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 will decrease the chances of erratic behavior.
A DMX512 terminator reduces signal errors, avoiding most signal reflection
interference. Connect PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture in
series with a 120 Ohm, 1/4 W Resistor to terminate the DMX512.
DMX SETUP
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. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables into a 3-pin line a cable daptor must be used. 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 operating with a DMX
controller, in order to ensure that 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 starting DMX address is configured by setting
the correct DMX address on the control panel display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for multiple fixtures, or set different
addresses for each individual fixture. Setting multiple fixtures to the same
DMX address will cause all those fixtures to react in the same way. In this
case, please note that 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.
As an example, when operating this device in 4 channel mode, you should set
the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 5 (1 + 4),
the third unit to 9 (1 + 4 + 4), and so on. (See the chart below for more
details.)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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 ccumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
Clean the external lens surface periodically 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 detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
- 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.
- 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 or liquids to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
- Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
