• Do not attempt to operate this unit if it becomes damaged.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product outdoors voids all warranties.
• Always mount this unit in a 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 20 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.

  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.

DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Par Z100 3K contains an 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 pro- tool 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 fix- ture. 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, in 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.

DMX Cable Required (For DMX and Primary/Secondary

Operation) : The Par Z100 3K can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Par Z100 3K has four DMX channel modes; 1 channel mode, 2 channel mode, 3 channel mode, & 4 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 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

Figure 2

Figure 3

XLR Pin Configuration

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

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 that 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.

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. This unit uses 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables into a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are read- POWER ily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

3-Pin XLR to 5-Pin XLR Conversion

Conductor| 3-Pin XLR Female (Out)| 5-Pin XLR Male (In)
Ground/Shield| Pin 1| Pin 1
Data Compliment (- signal)| Pin 2| Pin 2
Data True (+ signal)| Pin 3| Pin 3
Not Used| | Pin 4 – Do Not Use

Installation

The 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 a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture. The equipment must be installed by a professional, and it must be installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people’s grasp.

Multiple Unit Power Linking
With this feature, you can connect the fixtures to one another using the powerCON input and output sockets. The quantity that can be connected is 15 fixtures maximum @ 120V and 25 fixtures maximum @ 230V. After maximum fixtures are met you will need to use a new power outlet.
NOTE: USE CAUTION WHEN POWER LINKING OTHER FIXTURES TO THE PAR Z100 3K AS THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF OTHER LIGHTING FIXTURES WILL VARY!

Fuse Replacement

Unplug the unit from any power source it may be connected to. Once the power has been disconnected, use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder located above the power input. Remove the bad fuse and replace it with a new one, and screw the fuse holder back in.

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and mirrors 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 with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with a 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.
