Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
A detailed review by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to
make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
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.
Check for any deformations on the light, light-housings, lenses, rigging
hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations
could allow for dust to enter into the devices. Damaged rigging points or
unsecured rigging could cause the devices to fall and seriously injure a
person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or

OVERVIEW
DMX SETUP
POWER SUPPLY
The Dotz Matrix contains an automatic voltage switch, which will automatically
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 by most
lighting and controller manufacturers 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 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
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. 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 PRIMARY/SECONDARY OPERATION):
The Dotz Matrix can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and has three DMX
channel modes: 1 channel mode, 2 channel mode, & 3 channel mode. The DMX
address is set electronically using the controls on the rear panel of the
unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-512 110 Ohm
Data cable for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend AccuCable
DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120
Ohm shielded cable (This cable be purchased at almost all professional sound
and 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 the DMX
cable must be daisy-chained and cannot be split.
DMX 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 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 possibility 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-) and PIN 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture. Figure 4

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line by using a 3-pin cable adapter. These adapters are readily available at most electronics stores. The chart above details a proper cable conversion.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
This unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), affixing it
to the mounting bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the
unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always
ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is
able to support the weight of ten (10) times the unit’s weight and any
mounting accessories. A safety cable (optional) is recommended when installing
the fixture. It is also recommended that a professional installs the equipment
and it must be installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people’s
grasp.
The Dotz Matrix 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. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
SYSTEM MENU
The fixture includes an easy-to-navigate system menu where fixture settings
can be adjusted via the LCD control panel located on the back of the fixture.
During normal operation, pressing the MODE button once will access the main
menu. Navigate through the various sub-menus by pressing the UP and DOWN

OPERATION
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use an Elation® 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 Dotz Matrix has 5 DMX channel modes; a 3 Channel Mode, 6
Channel Mode, 7 Channel Mode, 48 Channel Mode, & (52 Channel Mode ), 53
Channel
Mode (Added (6/21/18).
- This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s traits with a standard DMX 512 controllers such as the Elation® Show Designer™ or the Elation® DMX Operator.™
- To run your fixture in DMX mode, follow the directions on page 8 to set your DMX address and DMX Channel mode.
- Plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller.
- For longer cable runs (more than 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.
Primary-Secondary 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 Primary-Secondary operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s programs. Any unit can act as a Primary or as a Secondary.
- 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 (primary) 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 Primary unit set your desired operating mode.
- On the secondary units press the MODE button until “Secondary Mode” is displayed.
- The secondary units will now follow the Primary unit.

MULTIPLE UNIT POWER LINKING
With this feature, you can connect the fixtures to one another using the power
cable input and output sockets.
NOTE: USE CAUTION WHEN POWER LINKING OTHER FIXTURES AS THE POWER CONSUMPTION
OF OTHER MODEL FIXTURES MAY EXCEED THE MAX POWER OUTPUT ON THIS FIXTURE!
CHECK SILKSCREEN FOR MAX AMPS.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once the cord has been removed locate the fuse holder located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace it with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with an active fuse.
CLEANING
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical
lenses must be carried
out periodically to optimize light output.
- Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
- 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 residue, dust, dew).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
- Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are 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; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.
The unit does not respond to sound:
- Quiet or high-pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
If problems are not resolved, contact ADJ Products, LLC for service: 1-800-322-6337
