• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out doors voids all warranties.
• 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 cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. See page 32 for cleaning details.
• Heat -This fixture 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. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
  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 perodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit.
If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

The KAOS is fully operational in two different mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a flat level surface. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on its side as illustrated above. 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). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

NOTICE: The suitable enviromental temperature for this lighting fixture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting fixture in an enviroment 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 each via a M12 screw and nut onto the Omega holders. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the KAOS. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega  holder. Pull the safety-cable through the openings located on the base plate and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ KAOS 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 KAOS can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The KAOS has 5 DMX Channel Modes. 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 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 stan- POWER dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a  able adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Fuse Replacement

Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, you will find that the fuse holder is 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 also has a holder for a spare fuse.

Cleaning

Fixture 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.

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

Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solutions.
No light output from the unit;

1. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound.
   Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may not activate the unit.
