Illusion Dotz 3.3 Product Registration
The Illusion Dotz 3.3 carries a two year limited warranty. Please fill out
the enclosed warranty card to validate your purchase. All returned
service items whether under warranty or not, must be freight prepaid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A.
number must be clearly written on the outside of the return package.
A brief description of the problem as well as the R.A. number must
also be written down on a piece of paper and included in the shipping
carton. If the unit is under warranty, you must provide a copy of your
proof of purchase invoice. You may obtain a R.A. number by contacting our customer support team on our toll free customer support
number. All packages returned to the service department not displaying a R.A. number on the outside of the package will be returned to
the shipper at the shippers cost.
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.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Illusion Dotz 3.3 is fully operational in two dierent mounting
positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a at level
surface. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on
its side. 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). Never use the
NOTICE: The suitable enviromental temperature for this light-
ing xture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting
xture in an enviroment where the temperatures are under or
above the temperatures stated above. This will allow the xture
to run at its best and help prolong the xture life.
Power Supply: The ADJ Illusion Dotz 3.3 contains a electronic volt-
age switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into
the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry
about wall 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.
Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the
Omega holders. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the rst
Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the
Illusion Dotz 3.3. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega holder. Pull the safety-cable
through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system or a safe xation spot. Insert the end in the carabine
and tighten the safety screw.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The Illusion Dotz 3.3 can be controlled via DMX-512 pro-
tocol. The Illusion Dotz 3.3 can be either a 12, 14, or 38 channel DMX
unit. 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
Termination reduces signalerrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference. It is always advisableto connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

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.

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 possibilities of erratic
behavior.

Illusion Dotz 3.3 Cleaning
Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning
the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried
out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends
on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog
residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a
monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.
Illusion Dotz 3.3 Trouble Shooting
Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems that
you may encounter, with solutions.
No light output from the unit;
1. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on
the bottom panel of the unit.
2. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.
Unit does not respond to sound;
1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound.
Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may
not activate the unit.
