OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION

• FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING Keep the device at least 8in. (0.2m) away from any flammable materials, decorations, pyrotechnics, etc.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.
• MINIMUM DISTANCE TO OBJECTS/SURFACES MUST BE 40 FEET (12 METERS)

DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

• Ambient operating temperature range is -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C). Do not use this device when the ambient temperature falls outside this range!
• The device should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized personnel might reach the device by hand.
• The device MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.
• Before rigging/mounting a single device or multiple devices to any metal truss/structure or placing the device(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the device(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.
• NEVER stand directly below the device(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.
• Overhead installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable.
• Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.
• For best signal quality, position the antenna at a 45-degree angle.

CLAMP INSTALLATION

• This device features an M10 bolt-hole built into the side of the device, as well as a safety cable loop located on the rear face of the fixture beside the power button (see the illustration below).
• When mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, use the mounting hole to insert and install a mounting clamp. Attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate rating (not included) to the provided safety cable loop.

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.

CONNECTIONS

This device receives input signals from a computer or DMX controller via Ethernet cable only and sends output signals via both WiFi and DMX cable. Refer to the diagram below.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

• NOTE: For RDM to work properly, RDM-enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
• Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting and allows the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This protocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.
• With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM-enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

FIXTURE RDM INFORMATION:

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the features that you require.

SETUP
Follow the directions below to set up your device. Please note: for best signal quality, position the antenna at a 45-degree angle.

1. Use the included power supply to connect the unit to power, then press the power button to switch the unit on.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the unit’s Ethernet port to your computer.
3. Open the Network Preferences window on your computer, and navigate to the “Ethernet” section. Refer to the image below.
   • Set the Configure IPxx setting to “Manual” or the equivalent.
   • Enter in an IP Address that matches the address listed on the bottom of your device, except for the last 3 digits. For Example, if the address on the bottom of your device is “2.63.130.001”, you should set the IP Address in the Ethernet tab of your computer’s Network Preferences to “2.63.130.xxx”, where xxx is any 3-digit combination other than 001.
   • Set the Subnet Mask to “255.0.0.0”.
   • Clear the box for the Router.
4. Go to your browser window. Enter the exact IP address (for all numbers this time) shown on the bottom of your device. This should take you to a login screen, where you can use the password “ADJadmin” to access the device, then press Login.
5. The browser will now load the Information page. Here you can view the device name, an editable device label, the firmware version, the IP address, the subnet mask, and the Mac address. Reaching this page means that the initial setup is complete.

Now that the initial setup has been completed, you can jump to various pages in your web browser to configure various operational settings and functions.

DMX PORT

SETTINGS

Use this page to set the following operational settings:

DMX Rate

• RDM Status: enable or disable RDM
• Signal Loss: defines how the device will behave when the DMX signal is lost or interrupted
• Merge Mode: in the event of two input signals, the node will give precedence to either the latest received signal (LTP) or the signal with the higher value (HTP)
• Label: give the device a custom nickname for easy identification

UPDATE

• Use this page to update the software on this device. Simply click the “Choose File” button to select the update file, then click “Start Update” to commence the update process.

MAINTENANCE

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause a greater accumulation of dirt on the device. Clean the external surface regularly with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user-serviceable parts inside this device. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A. A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• B. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• C. Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the device. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the device to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• D. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
