  • This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out` doors voids all warranties.
  • During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.
  • Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.
  • Power -supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the point they exit from the unit.
  • Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. See page 23 for cleaning details.
  • Heat -The appliance 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:
    A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
    B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
    C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
    D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Dotz Par System contains a automatic voltage switch, 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. Always use the Powercon cord that came with the unit.
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 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. 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 Dotz Par System can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Dots TPar System has 5 DMX Channel Modes. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the Dotz Par System. 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 Accusable 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. 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 DMX512 DMX+,DMX-,COMMON conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.ADJ Dotz TPar LED Par Can Light System -
COMMONADJ Dotz TPar LED Par Can Light System - XLR
Male Socket 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 90-120 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.
Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and 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 XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors 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.

Power Cord Daisy Chaining
With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be connected is 7 fixtures maximum for 120V, and 14 fixtures maximum for 230V. After the maximum fixtures has been reached you will need to use a new power outlet.  They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix fixtures.
Alternate Lighting Installation
A special feature that this system has is that you are able to mount two light effects on top of the “T” bar. You are then able to power those lights by plugging the power cords directly into the bar. The power sockets are located on the right side and left side. The middle power socket is for power cord daisy chaining. Do not use the middle power socket to power your added lights.
To add the lights onto the top is a simple process. Make sure your “T” bar is set up on the stand correctly and is secure. Follow the instructions below.

  1. Start by unscrewing the black knob that is attached to the bolt.
  2.  Attach the lighting effect to the bolt using the lighting effects connected bracket.
  3.  After you have set the bracket onto the bolt, screw the black knob and secure the knob tightly. See the sample pictures below.
  4. Plug the mounted lights into their respective power jacks.

Fuse Replacement
Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located inside the power socket.
Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.
Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

  1. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

Cleaning frequency depends on the  environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).

Troubleshooting

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:

  1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.

Unit does not respond to sound:

  1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
