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 IP65 rated
lighting fixture, such as this one, has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress
of dust (6) and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5). INTENDED FOR TEMPORARY
OUTDOOR USE ONLY!

INSTALLATION
DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to support at least 10 times
the weight of the unit and any attached accessories without any deformation. The unit must be
secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriately-rated safety cable.
Before rigging/mounting a fixture to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface,
a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or
surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and
accessories.
Maximum ambient operating temperature is 113°F (45°C).
Fixture(s) should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized
personnel might reach the fixture by hand.
NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.
Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriately rated safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, knowledge of installation material being used, and perodic safety inspection of all installation material as
well as the unit itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
The installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting and moving head fixtures, and lasers,
which are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ
lighting fixtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning of optics, dichroic color filters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specific only to ADJ lighting fixtures, but rather it is a common issue with lighting
fixtures from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from
happening, the guidelines below can reduce the risk of potential damage. Contact ADJ Service for
more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING OR MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING
UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS
A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
SUN PROTECTION MODE/ HIBERNATION MODE:
This state can be set via DMX, or the device will go into this state after 3 minutes without a DMX
signal. This function can be switched on or off in the DMX traits (see the DMX Traits section for
details). When the sun protection is activated, the pan-and-tilt function of the moving-head will position
the lens away from direct sunlight, or other high intensity light source, to protect the internal belts,
electronics etc. from burn damage.
When the unit is in the ‘sun protection state’, it uses its accelerometer sensors (X-Y-Z) (only present on
discharge units and IP units) to position the front lens downwards, even when the unit(s) will be moved
from its position. This will keep on changing the position of the head.
Please note that ‘manual mode’ overrides the ‘sun-protection mode’. The hibernation function is
an existing feature that puts the unit into a ‘sleep state’ to save power (this is a state where only the
electronics remain on, and all other functions are turned off, functions such as motors lamps etc). This
state is automatically activated when no DMX signal is present for the set time (1-99min or off).

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, allowing the DMX systems of the xtures to be modied and monitored remotely. This proto-col
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 con-troller
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 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 different manufacturers to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are
DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when linking 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): This unit can be controlled via DMX512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a standard 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 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.
Notice: Be sure to follow the diagram below 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 into contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause
a short circuit and erratic behavior.
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 reduce the risk of erratic behavior.

DMX SETUP
DMX ADDRESSING.
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so 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
assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses
for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react
in the same way. In other words, 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.
For example, when this unit is operating in 17 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX
address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 18 (1 + 17), the third unit to 35 (1 + 17 + 17), and so
on. See the chart below for more details.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SETUP
This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit
will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any
unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can
be programmed to act as the Primary.
Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR
data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and
the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR
connector only, wile the last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
2. Use the display screen and control panel to navigate to Personality > Prim/Sec Mode. Select
this sub-menu using the ENTER button, and use the arrows to toggle between “Primary” and
“Secondary”. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each unit in the system. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the
Primary, while all other units are designated as Secondaries.
4. The secondary units will now follow the behavior of the primary unit.
MULTI UNIT POWER LINKING
This features allows you to connect the fixtures to one another using the power cable input and output
sockets.
The maximum number of units that can be linked in this manner is as follows:
• 3 units when running on 110V power.
• 8 units when running on 240V power.
DO NOT EXCEED THIS MAXIMUM NUMBER WHEN POWER LINKING UNITS!
All linked units must be of the same make and model type. Do not mix and match units!

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
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 fixture operates:
damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s
optics. Clean the external lens surface regularly 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 fixture. 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. 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.
B. 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.
C. 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 to enter into the
fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously
injure a person(s).
D. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
For software updates, please contact ADJ service to obtain a software uploader and detailed
instructions. Refer to the Introduction section of this manual for contact information.
FIXTURE DISASSEMBLY
The following points should be observed after performing any maintenance procedure that requires
disassembly of the unit:
• After the unit has been reassembled, open the valve, and allow the light to run for approximately 2
hours in order to dry out any moisture that has been trapped inside the fixture. The process should
continue until indicated humidity drops below 15% for the head and 30% for the base.
• Once this has been achieved, the light can be switched off, but the unit should remain connected
to power so that the cooling fan can cool down the unit. Please note that allowing cool down time
should ALWAYS be done after lamp operation.
• Some units may require partial disassembly in order to gain access to the valve. Please contact
ADJ service for information regarding the location and access procedure for the valve on your
specific unit model.

ERROR CODES
When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “Reset/Test” mode. This mode brings all
the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or more of the motors,
an error code will ash in the display, as described in the chart below. For example, when the display
shows “Pan” it means there is some type of error with the Pan motor. If there are multiple errors during
the start-up process, they will all ash in the display. For example: if the xtures have errors on Pan, Tilt,
and Color Wheel 1 all at the same time, you will see the error message “Pan”, “Tilt”, and “Color Wheel
1” ash repeated 5 times.
If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure, the xture will self-generate a second reset
signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the errors. If the error persists after a second attempt,
a third attempt will be made. If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected, the xture will
make the following determinations:
• 3 or More Errors: The xture cannot function properly with three or more errors. Therefore the xture
will place itself in a stand-by mode until subsequent repairs can be made.
• Less Than 3 Errors: The xture has less than 3 errors. Therefore, most other functions will work
properly. The xture will attempt to operate normally until the errors can be correct by a technician.
The errors in question will remain ashing in the display as a reminder of internal errors.
