B. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
C. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

Mounting

When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and parodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.

The installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

The Focus Spot Three Z is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, mounted sideways on trussing, or set on a flat level surface. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next page).

NOTICE: The suitable environmental temperature for this lighting fixture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting fixture in an environment where the temperatures are under or above the temperatures stated above. This will allow the fixture to run at its best and help prolong the fixture life.

Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut to the included bracket. Attach the bracket using the omega locks to the bottom of the Focus Spot Three Z. Attach and pull the safety cable through one of the safety holes located on the bottom base and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Focus Spot Three Z 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 by most lighting and controller manufactures 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. Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 and Master/Slave Operation): The Focus Spot Three Z can be controlled via DMX512 protocol. The Focus Spot Three Z has 2 DMX channel modes; 18 channel mode & 21 channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the front panel of the unit. 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 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 professional sound and

Figure 1

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.

XLR Pin Configuration

Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Data Compliment (negative)
Pin 3 = Data True (positive)

Figure 4

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 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.

Operation

Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns, dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

The Focus Spot Three Z has 2 DMX channel modes; 18 channel mode, and 21 channel mode. See pages 12-19 for detailed description of the DMX values and traits.
To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages 9-11 as well as the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX controller.
Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
This will allow you to create your own programs.
Follow the instructions on page 21 to select your desired DMX channel mode and to set the DMX address.
For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.
For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.

Master-Slave Set Up

Master-Slave Operation This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation 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.

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.
On the Master unit press the MENU button until “Slave Mode” is displayed, and press ENTER. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to the “Master” setting and press ENTER.
After setting the Master unit to the master setting find and set your desired operating mode.
On the slave units press the MENU button until “Slave Mode” is displayed, and press ENTER. Choose either “Slave 1” or “Slave 2” and press ENTER.
The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

Power Cord Daisy Chain

The quantity that can be connected is 3 fixtures maximum @ 120V and 6 fixtures maximum @ 230V. After you have reached the maximum amount of fixtures you will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix fixtures.

Remote Operation

The UC IR (sold separately) infrared remote gives you control of various functions (See below). To control the fixture you must aim the remote at the front of the fixture and be no more than 30 feet away.

The Airstream IR (sold separately) remote transmitter plugs into the headphone jack of your iOS phone or tablet.

Unscrew the 4 screws that secure the shell to the unit. Gently lift the shell off of the unit.
When you remove the shell you will be able to access the gobo wheel. Turn the wheel with your hand until you come across the gobo you would like to change.
Gently and carefully remove the fixture ring. You will notice that small dab of high temperature silicon holds the fixture ring. After the fixture ring is removed, carefully remove the gobo.
Change the gobo and replace the fixture ring.
Reassemble the unit.

Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.

Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 30-60 days.
Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
