Focus Spot Three Z Pearl Safety Precautions
Focus Spot Three Z Pearl Mounting
For Your Own Personal Safety, Please Read and Understand This
Manual Completely Before You Attempt To Install Or Operate
This Unit!
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 cords at plugs, convenience recep tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by
the manufacturer. See page 36 for cleaning details.
• Heat -This fixture should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
B. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
C. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance.
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.
The installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Focus Spot Three Z Pearl is fully operational in three dierent
mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, mounted
sideways on trussing, or set on a at level surface. Be sure this xture
is kept at least 0.5m 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).

Focus Spot Three Z Pearl DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Focus Spot Three Z Pearl contains a auto-
matic voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is
plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to
worry about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in
anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures 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. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 and Master/Slave
Operation): The Focus Spot Three Z Pearl can be controlled via DMX-
512 protocol. The Focus Spot Three Z Pearl has
2 DMX channel modes; 18 channel mode & 21
channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the front panel of the
unit. 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
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 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.

Some manufactures use 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.

When longer runs of cable are

side casing.

3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
