INSTALLATION
CLAMP INSTALLATION
This fixture features a mounting clamp attachment points at the base of each
foot, as well as two safety cable attachment points located on the back of the
fixture (see the illustration below). When mounting the fixture to a truss or
any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to secure appropriately
rated clamps (not included) to the clamp attachment points and attach a
separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate safety rating to each safety
cable rigging point. Please note that this device requires the use of TWO
mounting clamps and TWO independently-secured safety cables for secure, stable
installation!
SAFETY CABLE
WARNING: 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.
RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to:
calculating working load limits, understanding the installation material being
used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
fixture itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt to perform
the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Do reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
- Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
- Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord is frayed or broken.
- Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire in event of an internal short.
- Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
- Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
- Never operate this unit with its cover removed.
- Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack.
- Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.
- Do not attempt to operate this unit if it has been damaged in any way.
- This unit is intended for indoor use only, and use of this product outdoors 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 at which they exit from the unit.
- Cleaning – The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. See the Cleaning section of this manual for 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 have been damaged.
- B. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled into, the fixture.
- C. The fixture does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
- D. The fixture has fallen and/or has been subjected to extreme handling.
SETUP
Power Supply: The ADJ Ultra Hex Bar 12 contains an automatic voltage switch, which will auto mati-cally 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, and 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 communi-cation 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 Ultra Hex Bar 12 can be con-trolled via DMX protocol. The Ultra Hex Bar 12 has 5 DMX channel modes, and detailed information can be found in the DMX Traits section of this manual. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector 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 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.
SETUP
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 into 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 termi-nator 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 termi-nator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilites 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-)
Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA trans-mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line by using a cable adaptor, which can be purchased at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Conductor| 3-Pin XLR Female (Out)| 5-Pin XLR Male (In)

POWER CORD DAISY CHAIN
This feature allows the fixtures to be linked together using the IEC input and
output sockets.
The maximum number of units that can be connected in this manner is 7
units.
Once this number has been reached, a new power outlet will be needed in order
to accommodate additional units.
All linked fixtures must be of the same make and model type. Do NOT mix
fixtures types!
CLEANING
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning of the internal and external optical lenses must be car-ried out periodically to optimize light output.
- Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
- Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
- 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 resi-due, dust, dew).
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Locate the fuse holder at the rear of unit next to the power cord, then use a
phillips head screwdriver to remove the fuse holder. Remove the used fuse and
replace with a new fuse of the same rating. Insert the fuse holder and fuse
into the unit and secure the fuse holder back in place.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with possible solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX
Check that the DMX cables are connected and 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, as the way in which the input and outputs
are connected does have an affect on the operation of the fixture(s).
Unit does not respond to sound
- Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
- Make sure that Sound Active mode is enabled.
