Battery Precautions

Handling of Batteries

Do not short-circuit the Battery
Try to never short circuit the battery. It generates a very high current which could cause the battery to overheat which may result in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion. The LIR tabs may easily short-circuit by placing them on a conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat buildup and damage to the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is employed to protect the accidental short circuit of the battery pack.

Mechanical shock
Dropping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc. may cause failure or shorten the life of the LIR battery.

Other
Battery connection

1. Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is strictly prohibited.
2. Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot-welded to the batteries. Direct soldering may cause damage to components, such as separator and insulator, by heat build-up.

Prevention of short circuits within a battery pack
There are enough insulation layers between the wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protection. The battery pack is constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may cause smoke or fire.

Do not disassemble the Batteries

1. Never disassemble the batteries.
   Doing this may cause an internal short circuit in the battery, which may lead to harmful fumes, fire, explosion, or other problems.

2. Electrolyte Gel is harmful
   Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention immediately.

Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in a fire. This may cause an explosion, which would be very dangerous.

Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coffee or others.

Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ customer support 800-322-6337.

Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by shock. Should the battery be found damaged, including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package, smelling of an electrolyte, leakage of the electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with an odour of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away from the fire to avoid fire or explosion.

Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend that during long periods of storage, the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing this will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the 30% mark.

Other Chemical Reaction
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even stored for a long time without being used. In addition, if the various usage conditions such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery may be shortened or the device in which the battery is used may bedamaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate it is time to change the battery.

Battery Disposal
Please dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

Battery Status
This function is used to check the life status of the battery.
Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “BX” is displayed. “XXX” represents the current battery life. The number that is displayed is the remaining battery life. If “b—” is displayed, it means that you are running the unit on AC power. Please do not let the battery fully die, this severely shortens the life of the battery.
NOTE: When the battery life is below 30% the battery percentage will flash. At 15% power, the fixture will shut off.
NOTE: When using battery power, after 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will revert to the battery life display.
Battery Recharge: To recharge the battery, plug the supplied I.E.C. cord into the I.E.C. input on the side of the unit and plug the other end into a matching power supply. It takes about 4 hours to reach full charge (with the power off). The display will STOP flashing when the unit reaches 100% charge.
Note: When unplugging the unit from charging and then applying power via a battery, there will be a minimal charge drop.
For a faster recharge, turn the Load setting to “Off” and turn the battery “On”. See “Load Setting”.

IP Notice

IP54 RATED NON-PERMANENT TEMPORARY USE OUTDOOR WET LOCATIONS
An IP54-rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects and water.
The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “Ip” (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP54) where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP54-rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed to protect against harmful deposits of dust, (the ingress of dust is NOT prevented, but cannot enter in an amount sufficient to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the fixture) (5), and water splashed against the fixture from any direction (4), and is intended for temporary short-term non-continuous use locations.

Overview

1. Service Port: This port is used for software updates.
2. Battery On/Off Switch: This switch is used to turn ON battery power and also turn ON the PCB output. See page 17 “Load Setting” to activate.
3. Kickstand: This kickstand is used to angle the unit to various degrees. There are 3 different degree levels. Note: Be very cautious at the degree to which you angle the unit since it could fall over.
4. Power Input & Fuse Holder: This input is used to connect the included I.E.C. power cord. After connecting the power cord, plug the other end into a matching power source. Located inside the power socket is the fuse housing. See page 26 for fuse replacement.
5. Mode Button: This button lets you scroll through the system menu.Setup Button: This button lets you access the submenus.Up & Down Button: These buttons are used to scroll through the submenus and make adjustments the submenu.
6. Digital Display: This will display the various menus, submenus, and adjustments.
7. Control Panel Access Door: Lifting this door will allow you to access the controls and functions.

QAIPDMX 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 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.
In the case of the Element QAIP, when in 4 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 5 (4 + 1), the third unit to 9 (5 + 4), and so on. (See chart below for more details).
