FEATURES
The ADJ Jolt Bar FXIP features a central strip of 112 x 5-Watt cool white SMD LEDs, surrounded on
both sides by a total of 448 x .5-Watt RGB color mixing SMD LEDs. This allows the same fixture to
generate intense white strobing as well as colored washes and strobe effects. Both types of LED are
grouped into independently controllable zones (16 white and 32 color), which means the unit can also
be used to generate strobe chases and other ‘eye candy’ effects.
• 32 x RGB LED Zones
• 16 x Cool White LED Zones
• 25 Built-in RGB LED Program Macros
• 9 Built-in Cool White LED Program Macros
• 180 degree mounting bracket system
• IP65-rated (for temporary outdoor use)
• Aria X2 Wireless DMX Built-in
• Frost Lens Assembly
• Includes Alignment Bracket to attached units together
The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed
by two numbers (i.e. IP65), where the numbers dene the degree of protection. The rst digit (Foreign Bodies
Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the xture, and the second digit (Water
Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the xture. An IP65 rated lighting xture is
designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6), and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
NOTE: THIS FIXTURE IS INTENDED FOR TEMPORARY OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations: A coastal environment is seaside adjacent, and caustic to
electronics through exposure to atomized salt-water and humidity, whereas maritime is anywhere within 5-miles
of a coastal environment.
NOT suitable for maritime/coastal environment installations. Installing this xture in a
maritime/coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior
and/or exterior components of the xture. Damages and/or performance issues resulting
from installation in a maritime/coastal environment will void the manufactures warranty, and
will NOT be subject to any warranty claims and/or repairs.
Maritime installations require additional preparation, and additional service intervals may be needed given the
maritime use. In general, IP ratings presuppose freshwater conditions VS maritime conditions, which are typically
more “caustic” to IP xtures (both internally and externally). A duty-cycle may also be needed when units are not
in use. During times of high humidity and colder temperatures, condensation may occur internally so the xture
may require a duty-cycle to bring it up to running temperature, allowing any accumulation of moisture to be
expelled via the vent valve. Recommendations can change based on installation environmental circumstances.
A waterproof dome or similar device is recommended for use in permanent outdoor installations. When using a
dome, refer to manufacturer recommendations for duty-cycle.
NOTE: NOT ALL FEATURES LISTED ARE AVAILABLE ON ALL FIXTURES; THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT APPLY. CONTACT SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
Exterior Maintenance: Inspect the exterior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected. Inspect
optics to determine if the lens is obstructed, then clean optics and chassis accordingly. Based on initial nding,
schedule maintenance accordingly, keeping in mind that exterior maintenance will be required. Even if the
luminaires are NOT in use, maintenance will still be needed given its location (exterior use). The use of a durable
type of wax on the chassis is recommended since it will help prevent contaminant build up. Inspect both power
and data lines for any signs of contaminants or corrosion. Periodically reapplying di-electric grease, especially
in coastal environments. If any signs of corrosion/contaminants are present, clean thoroughly, and/or replace
connectors, then reapply di-electric grease. Typically, this should be done annually, or any time an opportunity
presents itself. As a preventive measure, annual replacement of both vent valves is recommended. The vent
valve membrane can become contaminated and/or clogged causing improper venting of humidity within the
luminaire. Inspect all mounting hardware as a precaution.
Interior Maintenance: Inspect the interior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected.
• Inspect zoom/focus mechanism, clean optics, lubricate linear bearings (Krytox oil) as needed, inspect belts
for wear
• Inspect all rotating effect wheels, manually rotate them, note any resistance
• Inspect all remaining rotating belts for any wear
• Inspect all fans, clean as needed, check rotation, check connections
• Inspect CMY module, manually move ags and check for signs of resistance, and if needed, clean guide rods
rst, then reapply a thin layer of grease (moly lube)
• Clean interior with low-volume compressed air, then clean optics prior to reassembly of head covers
Although the base has limited moving parts, the pan belt should also be inspected for wear. Remember to always
perform an IP test anytime a cover is removed.
There is no specic time frame regarding the routine replacement of parts such as belts/stepper motors, PCBs,
or LEDs. These items should only be replaced on an as needed bases, except for cooling fans, which should
be replaced once the luminaries reach 10,000-hours. This is a prophylactic measure intended to keep the unit
running as cool as possible, insuring proper function of all internal components. A complete service breakdown
is available, please contact service@adj.com for any needed parts or manuals.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
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
Elation 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 Elation 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 Elation 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.
17
FAN MODES and LOW NOISE OPERATION
The Jolt Bar FXIP is a high-performance xture suited for multiple applications. For noise critical
environments such as Theater, Opera or Orchestra Halls, it offers various fan operation modes which
remove any distraction for the audience and performers. Fan Modes can be changed remotely via the
DMX control channel, allowing the xture to offer high output or whisper silent operation at a moment’s
notice. All Fan Modes smoothly transition over a brief time, preventing unwanted attraction to the xture.
Auto (Default)—Fans only run at the speeds needed to keep the LED engine within a safe temperature
range and ensures optimal performance of the xture. If possible, they will turn-off, for example, when
the xture is dimmed to a low intensity. Fans sense the ambient and xture temperature, and will always
try to keep noise levels to a minimum. The xture output will only reduce when the LED engine cannot
be cooled down to its safe operating range due to high ambient temperature.
NOTE: Recommended for daily operation.
High—Fan speeds are increased throughout for the most efcient cooling of the xture. This mode
will increase wear on the fans and should only be utilized in exceptional circumstances. Fans will
always run, even if the xture is dimmed down. Fixture output is kept at 100% unless the LED engine
temperature reaches an unsafe temperature at which point the xture will reduce power carefully to
ensure continued safe operation. This mode is only required in very high ambient temperatures when
automatic fan speed adjustments are not desired.
Low Noise Modes
For very critical noise environments, the xture offers two additional Low Noise Modes for silent
operation. The xture output will be reduced, yet due to the extremely high luminous ux, the xture still
offers outstanding performance. In Low Noise Modes, all parameters of the xture operate more quietly
with reduced fan speeds.
Silent—75-80% max output, fans run at low speed.
18
SYSTEM MENU
The xture includes an easy to navigate system menu control panel display where all necessary
settings and adjustments are made.
• MENU: Leave current menu and return to previous menu level.
• UP: Scroll up in currently displayed menu.
• DOWN: Scroll down in currently displayed menu.
• ENTER: Select an option or confirm a selection.
This fixture includes a display lock feature which automatically shuts off the display screen after a
certain period of inactivity. This feature is OFF by default, which means that the display will always
remain on regardless of inactivity, but can be configured to kick in after up to 10 minutes of inactivity.
See the System Menu section of this manual for details on how to configure this setting.

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 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 Jolt Panel FX can be controlled
via DMX-512 protocol, and features multiple DMX channel modes. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 5-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 pro
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a female
XLR connector on 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.
NOTE: 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 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.

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 seri-
ously 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.
