Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z Pearl Safety Precautions
POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head xtures, and lasers, which
are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ
lighting xtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning to optics, dichroic color lters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost lters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specic only to ADJ lighting xtures, it is a common issue with lighting xtures
from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the
guidelines below can prevent any potential damage from occurring if followed. Contact ADJ Service
for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS WHILE UNPACKING,
INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS.
DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.

Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z Pearl Installation
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight
without any deformation. When installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment,
e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the unit when mounting, removing, or
servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation
material being used, and perodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack
these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z Pearl is fully operational in three dierent mounting positions,
hanging upside-down from a ceiling or trussing, sideways on trussing, or set on a at level surface.
Be sure this xture is kept at least 12m (40ft) away from any ammable 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 (see next page). Never use the carrying handles for second-
ary attachment.

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 Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z
Pearl can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z Pearl has 3 DMX
channel modes. The DMX address is set on the front panel of the Focus Spot 4Z/Focus Spot 4Z Pearl. 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.
