    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.

DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Ricochet 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 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 addressof 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 Ricochet has two DMX channel modes; 12 channel mode and 15 channel mode. The DMX address is set on the top panel of the Ricochet. Your unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data output. We recommend AccuCable 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 professionalsound 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 conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

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.

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.

  1. The Ricochet has 2 DMX channel modes; 12 & 15 channels. See pages 15-22 for detailed description of the DMX values and traits.
  2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages 5-6 as well as the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX controller. Follow the instructions on page 8 to set the DMX address.
  3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

  5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.

Master-Slave Configuration

Master-Slave Configuration 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. Set the Master unit to your desired show. Next, press the MENU button until “Slave Mode” is displayed, and press ENTER. Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that “Master” is displayed and press ENTER.
  3. On the slave units press the MENU button until “Slave Mode” is displayed, and press ENTER. Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that either “Slave 1” or “Slave 2” is displayed and press ENTER.
  4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

Power Cord Daisy Chain

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 16 fixtures maximum for 120V and 30 fixtures maximum for 230V. After the maximum amout of fixtures is connected you will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix fixtures.

Fuse Replacement

Fuse Replacement: Unplug the unit from any power source it may be connected to. Once the power has be disconnected, use a phillips head screw driver to unscrew the fuse holder located around the I.E.C. inputs. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one, and screw the fuse holder back in.
Warning: If after replacing the fuse you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the unit. Contact customer support for further instructions. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage

Cleaning

Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

  1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
  2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
  3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp beam output.

Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting: Listed below is a problem that you may encounter, with a solution.
No light output from the unit;

  1. Be sure the fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on the rear panel inside the power socket. See Fuse Replacement.
