IP RATING

An IP rated lighting fixture is commonly installed in outdoor environments and has been designed
with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust
and water. The Ingress Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” 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 IP20 rated lighting fixture, such as this one, has been designed and tested to protect against
the ingress of solid objects 12.5mm or larger, such as adult fingers (2), but are NOT RATED FOR

PROTECTION AGAINST LIQUID INTRUSION OF ANY KIND (0).

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire
system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting,

and allows the DMX systems of the xtures to be modied and monitored remotely. This protocol is ideal for

instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send

out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the xture to respond (known as a GET command). The

controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed
directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sen­sors.

DMX SETUP

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 xtures and the controller are

DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when using 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 Encore Z7LP can be controlled

via DMX-512 protocol, and features multiple DMX channel modes. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and
a female XLR connector at 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 chances of erratic behavior.

DMX SETUP

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA
transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin line by using a
cable adaptor. These adapters are readily available at most electronics stores. The chart below
details a proper cable conversion.

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when operating with a DMX controller, in order
to ensure that 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 starting DMX address is configured by setting the correct DMX address on
the control panel display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for multiple fixtures, or set different addresses for each indi­vidual fixture. Setting multiple fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all those fixtures to react
in the same way. In this case, please note that 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.

As an example, 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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an

extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the xture operates:
damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the xture’s
optics. Clean the external lens surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user

serviceable parts inside this xture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service

technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure
the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.

• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out
during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.

• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points
(ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids to

enter into the xture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause xture to fall and

seriously injure a person(s).

• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
