Dotz TPar System Safety Precautions
Dotz TPar System Set Up
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this unit
rain or moisture
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
• Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required volt age for your unit.
• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been
frayed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break o the ground
prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk
of electrical shock and re in case of an internal short.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.
• Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack
• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper
ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.
• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out`
doors voids all warranties.
• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.
• Always mount this unit in 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 the point they exit from the unit.
• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by
t he manufacturer. See page 23 for cleaning details.
• Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (inclu d ing amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Dotz TPar System User Manual Page 4
Power Supply: The ADJ Dotz TPar System contains a automatic volt-
age switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into
a power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the
correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere. Always
use the PowerCon cord that came with the unit.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol 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
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 Dotz TPar System can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
Dotz TPar System has 5 DMX Channel Modes. The DMX address is set
on the rear panel of the Dotz TPar System. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 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 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 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.

1. 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 rst unit in the chain (master) 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 termina tor at the last fixture.
2. On the Master unit, designate the unit as a “Master” unit following
the instructions on page 10. Then set your desired operating mode.
3. On the slave units press the MODE button until “Slave Mode” is
displayed.

Dotz TPar System Alternate Lighting Installation
Dotz TPar System Fuse Replacement
A special feature that this system has is that you are able to mount
two light eects on top of the “T” bar. You are then able to power
those lights by plugging the power cords directly into the bar. The
power sockets are located on the right side and left side. The middle
power socket is for power cord daisy chaining. Do not use the
middle power socket to power your added lights.
To add the lights onto the top is a simple process. Make sure your “T”
bar is set up on the stand correctly and is secure. Follow the instructions below.
1. Start by unscrewing the black knob that is attached to the bolt.
2. Attach the lighting eect to the bolt using the lighting eects connected bracket.
3. After you have set the bracket onto the bolt, screw the black knob
and secure the knob tightly. See the sample pictures below.
4. Plug the mounted lights into their respective power jacks.
Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once the cord has been
removed located the fuse holder located inside the power socket.
Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out
the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace 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 active fuse.
Dotz TPar System Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
