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.
This fixture is fitted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly
susceptible to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the
lamp with your bare hands as the oil from your hands will shorten
the life of the lamp. Also, NEVER move the fixture until the lamp
has had ample time to cool. Lamps are NOT covered under
warranty conditions. Avoid switching the fixture ON and OFF
repeatedly in short intervals as this will reduce lamp life and
intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge
lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure
environment to emit a brilliant output.
Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY
EXPLODE DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age;
added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always
be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be
used when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.

The Hydro Beam X1 is fully operational in three dierent mounting positions, hanging upside-down,
mounted 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 secondary attachment.
ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A DIELECTRIC
GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION
AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FIXTURE,
ALL UNUSED CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS MUST BE SEALED.
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 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 Hydro Beam X1 can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. Your unit and your DMX controller requires a 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data
output. 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.
Special Note: Line Termination.
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.
TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FIXTURE,
ALL UNUSED CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS MUST BE SEALED AND ONLY IP65 RATED POWER
AND DATE CABLES MUST BE USED.
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator
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 Hydro Beam X1, when in 11 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of
the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 12 (11 + 1), the third unit to 23 (12 + 11), and so on. (See the chart
below for more details.)

BEFORE SETTING THE WIRELESS CHANNEL ON ANY WIFLY FIXTURE, MAKE SURE
THE SOURCE WIFLY WIRELESS DMX TRANSCEIVER DEVICE IS OFF.
With this feature you are able to control the unit with DMX without the need of XLR cables. Your
DMX controller must be connected to a ADJ WiFly Transceiver to use this function. You are able to
communicate up to 2500 feet/760 meters (open line of sight).
1. Ensure the source WiFly wireless DMX Transceiver device is powered OFF.
2. Power ON the fixture and using the control panel scroll to the PERSONALITY menu and press
ENTER. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the WIFLY SETTINGS submenu and press ENTER.
3. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, highlight ENABLE/DISABLE WIFLY. Press the ENTER button
to toggle between ENABLE & DISABLE. Press ENTER so that “ENABLE” is displayed.
4. Next highlight SET WIFLY CHANNEL and press ENTER. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to find
your desired WiFly address and press ENTER to confirm.
NOTE: Erratic fixture movement may occur if other WiFly wireless DMX products are in use in
the same area and are using the same WiFly wireless channel. When WiFly is enabled, the fixture
may immediately start to respond to the DMX wireless signal from another WiFly wireless DMX
Transceiver. Make sure to know what WiFly wireless channels are being used in the area where the
fixture is being used.
ADJ WIFLY WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER only has 0-14 wireless channels, NO CH 15.

menu. Set your desired DMX channel mode in the DMX CH MODE submenu of the DMX SETTINGS
main system menu.
7. Repeat this process for all WiFly compatible fixtures in the WiFly wireless network, making sure
all fixtures are assigned the same WiFly wireless channel.
8. After all fixtures in the WiFly wireless network have been set to the same WiFly wireless channel
and powered ON, power ON the source WiFly DMX Transceiver device.
4. Test all fixtures connected to the WiFly wireless network to confirm proper functionality.
Wireless DMX signal can penetrate walls, glass, metal, and most objects. However, there are many
factors that can aect and/or interrupt the wireless DMX signal, one of which is people. Therefore, it
is highly recommended to position the wireless antenna a minimum of 9.8 ft. (3m) above audiences
and/or above ground level. Careful planning and testing of the selected installation location is critical
to ensure optimum and reliable wireless DMX operation.
With this feature you can connect the xtures to one another using the power cable input and
output sockets.
NOTE: USE CAUTION WHEN POWER LINKING OTHER FIXTURES AS THE POWER
CONSUMPTION OF OTHER MODEL FIXTURES MAY EXCEED THE MAX POWER OUTPUT ON
THIS FIXTURE! CHECK SILK SCREEN FOR MAX AMPS.
