18P Hex IP Installation
The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), axing it to the mounting
bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is rmly xed 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 xture.
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.
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.

18P Hex IP IP Notice
IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in
outdoor environments and has been designed with an enclosure
that effectively water. 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 one, which has been designed and tested to
protect against the ingress of dust (6) and high-pressure water jets
from any direction (5).
MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS!
Please note although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is NOT
suitable for marine and/or coastal environment installations.
Installing this fixture in a marine and/or coastal environment may
cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or
exterior components of the fixture. Damages and/or
performance issues resulting from installation in a marine and/or
coastal environment will void the manufactures warranty and will
NOT be subject to any warranty claims and/or repairs.
OPTIONAL CORROSION- RESISTANT COATING
Optional Corrosion-Resistant Coatings may be available for this
fixture. Please consult your ADJ Products, LLC sales representative
for details.

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.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of commu-
nication 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 dierent manufactures to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures 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. 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 18P Hex IP can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. The 18P Hex IP has 4 DMX channel modes. The DMX address is set on the back
panel of the 18P Hex IP. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector 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 pro 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.
Figure 1
Notice: Be sure to follow gures 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.

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
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.
Termination reduces signal errors and

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting
standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily
available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

18P Hex IP DMX Addressing
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture 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 xture.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set dierent addresses
for each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react
in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures
simultaneously.
If you set each xture to a dierent DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only aect the selected xture.
In the case of the 18P Hex IP, when in 13 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of
the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 14 (13 + 1), the third unit to 27 (14 + 13), and so on. (See chart
below for more details.)
