IP65 NOTICE

The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65), where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6), and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
NOTE: THIS FIXTURE IS INTENDED FOR TEMPORARY OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations: A coastal environment is seaside adjacent, and caustic to electronics through exposure to atomized salt-water and humidity, whereas maritime is anywhere within 5-miles of a coastal environment.
NOT suitable for maritime/coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a maritime/coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the fixture. Damages  nd/or performance issues resulting from installation in a maritime/coastal environment will void the manufactures warranty, and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims and/or repairs.
Maritime installations require additional preparation, and additional service intervals may be needed given the maritime use. In general, IP ratings presuppose freshwater conditions VS maritime conditions, which are typically more “caustic” to IP fixtures (both internally and externally). A duty-cycle may also be needed when units are not in use. During times of high humidity and colder temperatures, condensation may occur internally so the fixture may require a duty-cycle to bring it up to running temperature, allowing any accumulation of moisture to be expelled via the vent valve. Recommendations can change based on installation environmental circumstances. A waterproof dome or similar device is recommended for use in permanent outdoor installations. When using a dome, refer to manufacturer recommendations for duty-cycle.
NOTE: NOT ALL FEATURES LISTED ARE AVAILABLE ON ALL FIXTURES; THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT APPLY. CONTACT SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
Exterior Maintenance: Inspect the exterior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected. Inspect optics to determine if the lens is obstructed, then clean optics and chassis accordingly. Based on initial finding,
schedule maintenance accordingly, keeping in mind that exterior maintenance will be required. Even if the luminaires are NOT in use, maintenance will still be needed given its location (exterior use). The use of a durable type of wax on the chassis is recommended since it will help prevent contaminant build up. Inspect both power and data lines for any signs of contaminants or corrosion. Periodically reapplying di-electric grease, especially in coastal environments. If any signs of corrosion/contaminants are present, clean thoroughly, and/or replace connectors, then reapply di-electric grease. Typically, this should be done annually, or any time an opportunity presents itself. As a preventive measure, annual replacement of both vent valves is recommended. The vent valve membrane can become contaminated and/or clogged causing improper venting of humidity within the luminaire. Inspect all mounting hardware as a precaution.

Interior Maintenance: Inspect the interior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected.

• Inspect zoom/focus mechanism, clean optics, lubricate linear bearings (Krytox oil) as needed, inspect belts for wear
• Inspect all rotating effect wheels, manually rotate them, note any resistance
• Inspect all remaining rotating belts for any wear
• Inspect all fans, clean as needed, check rotation, check connections
• Inspect CMY module, manually move flags and check for signs of resistance, and if needed, clean guide rods first, then reapply a thin layer of grease (moly lube)
• Clean interior with low-volume compressed air, then clean optics prior to reassembly of head covers  Although the base has limited moving parts, the pan belt should also be inspected for wear. Remember to alwaysperform an IP test anytime a cover is removed.
There is no specific time frame regarding the routine replacement of parts such as belts/stepper motors, PCBs, or LEDs. These items should only be replaced on an as needed bases, except for cooling fans, which should be replaced once the luminaries reach 10,000-hours. This is a prophylactic measure intended to keep the unit running as cool as possible, insuring proper function of all internal components. A complete service breakdown is available, please contact service@adj.com for any needed parts or manuals.

OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION

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 at least 10 times the unit’s weight. ALWAYS use safety cables that can hold at least 12 times the unit’s weight when installing the fixture.
This 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. Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, knowledge of installation material being used, and perodic safety inspection of all installation material and the unit itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. The installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
Ensure ALL connections and end caps are properly sealed with a non-conductive dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppliers) to prevent water ingress/condensation and/or corrosion.
The 15 Hex Bar IP is fully operational in three different mounting positions: hanging upside-down, mounted sideways on trussing, or set on a flat level surface. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 12m (40ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). ALWAYS use and install a properly rated safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut into the Omega holder. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the Omega holder into the matching holes of the adjustable mounting bracket. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Pull the safety-cable through the attachment openings and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.
PLEASE REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.

NOTE : Safety cable attachment points are located at both ends. Its recommended to use safety cables on both ends.
ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS DEVICE IN A SUSPENEDED ENVIRONMENT IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.

MANUAL TILT ADJUSTMENT

The bar angle is adjustable manually using the brackets located on each side of the unit. Simply loosen the tilt adjustment knobs attached to each mounting bracket and adjust the bracket accordingly.
After making your desired set up, securely tighten the tilt adjustment knobs. The image below illustrates a 90-degree configuration.

CONNECTIONS

ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FIXTURE, ALL CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS MUST BE SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.

DMX SET UP

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used 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 path possible when linking several DMX 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. 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 Operation): The 15 Hex Bar IP can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The 15 Hex Bar IP has 10 DMX channel modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the 15 Hex Bar IP. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector on the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
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.

SYSTEM MENU

The fixture includes an easy to navigate system menu control panel display where all necessary settings and adjustments are made. During normal operation, pressing the MENU button once will access the fixture’s main menu. Once in the main menu, you can navigate through the different functions and access the sub-menus with the UP and DOWN buttons. When you reach a field that requires adjusting, press the ENTER button to access that field and use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the field. Pressing the ENTER button once more will confirm your setting. You may exit the main menu at any time without making any adjustments by pressing the MENU button.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP

This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary.
Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:

  1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR connector is the ouput. 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.
  2. Use the display screen and control panel to navigate to the Personality menu, where you will find both a Primary and Secondary option. If you want the unit to operate as the Primary unit, select Primary and switch it to ON, then select Secondary and switch it to OFF. On the other hand, if you want the unit to operate as a Secondary, select Primary and switch it to OFF, then select Secondary and switch it to ON.
  3. Repeat this process until all the connected units have been assigned a Primary or Secondary status. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the Primary, while all other units are designated as Secondaries.
  4. The secondary units will act in conjunction with the primary unit.

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way; in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect
the selected fixture.
For instance, when operating this device in 6 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (1 + 6 + 6), and so on. See the chart below for more details.

MULTIPLE UNIT POWER LINKING

With this feature you can link the fixtures to one another using the power cable input and output sockets.
The maximum number of units that can be linked in this manner is as follows:

  • 6 units with 120V power.
    • 15 units with 240V power.

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 SILK SCREEN FOR MAX AMPS.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Below is a common problem that the user may encounter, with a potential solution.
Unit not responding to DMX:
Check that the DMX cables are connected and wired properly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be “hot”). Also, check that all cables are connected to the proper connectors, as the manner in which the input and outputs are connected does have an effect on how the devices operate.

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.
  • Periodically clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
  • 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).
