1. Handling of Batteries
1.1 Do Not Short Circuit the Battery
Try to never short circuit the battery. It generates a very high
current which could cause the battery to overheat which may
result in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion.
The LIR tabs may easily short-circuit by placing them on conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat build up and
damage of the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is
employed to protect accidental short circuit of the battery pack.
1.2 Mechanical shock
Droping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc. may cause failure or
shortend life of the LIR battery.
3. Other
3.1 Battery connection
1). Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is
strictly prohibited.
2). Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to
the batteries. Direct soldering may cause damage of components, such as separator and insulator, by heat build up.
3.2 Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protection. The battery pack is
constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may
cause smoke or re.
3.3 Do No Disassemble the Batteries
1). Never disassemble the batteries.
Doing this may cause a internal short circuit in the battery,
which may lead to harmful fumes, re, explosion, or other prob-
lems.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Mega QPlus GO User Manual Page 4
2). Electrolyte Gel is harmful
Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the
electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, ush the
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Mega QPlus GO User Manual Page 5

Mega QPlus GO Battery Precautions Mega QPlus GO Battery Precautions
area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical
attention immediately.
3.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in re. This may
cause an explosion, which would be very dangerous.
3.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coee or other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact American DJ customer
support (800) 322-6337.
3.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by
shock. Should the battery be found damaged, including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the
battery package, smelling of an electrolyte, or leakage of the
electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with
a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away
from re to avoid re or explosion.
life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the device
in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte
gel leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long
periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may
indicate it is time to change the battery.
6. Battery Disposal
Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.
4. Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend that during
long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6
months. Doing this will prolong the life of the battery and will
also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the
30% mark.
5. Other Chemical Reaction
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long
period of time without being used. In addition, if the various
usage conditions such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specied ranges, the

Mega QPlus GO DMX Set Up
Mega QPlus GO DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Mega QPlus GO contains a automatic volt-
age 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 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 Mega QPlus GO can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Mega
QPlus GO has 8 DMX modes, please see pages 11-12 for the dierent
modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the Mega QPlus
GO. Your unit and your DMX controller require a
standard 3-pin XLR connector 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
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.
Figure 1
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.

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.

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

Battery Status:
This function is used to check the life status of the battery.
Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “bXXX” is
displayed. “XXX” represents an number between “000” and
“100”. The number that is displayed is the remaining battery
life. If “b---” is displayed, it means the battery is dead or you are
running the unit on AC power. Please do not let the battery
fully die, this severly shortens the life of the battery.
Example: If “b050” is displayed, the battery is at half life. If
“b025” is displayed, the battery is at 25% life.
NOTE: When the battery is charging or if the battery life is
below 30% the digital display will flash.

NOTE: After 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will revert
back to the battery life display.
Battery Recharge: To recharge the battery, plug the supplied
AC cord into the AC input on the side of the unit and plug the
other end into a matching power supply. It takes about 4 hours
to reach full charge. The display will STOP ashing when the
unit reaches 100% charge.
Note: When unplugging the unit from charging and then
applying power via battery, there will be a minimal charge
drop.
For a faster recharge, put the Load Switch in the “O” position
and the Battery Switch in the “ON” position.

Mega QPlus GO Power Cord Daisy Chain
With this feature you can connect the xtures to one another
using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be
connected is 20 xtures maximum. After 20 xtures you will need
to use a new power outlet. They must be the same xtures. DO
NOT mix xtures.
Mega QPlus GO Fuse Replacement
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord
from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, you will find that the
fuse holder is located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw
driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove
the bad fuse and replace with a new one. The fuse holder also has a
holder for a spare fuse.
Mega QPlus GO Trouble Shooting
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter,
with solutions.
Unit not responding to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are
wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
2. Make sure that Sound Active mode is activated.
Mega QPlus GO Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging
the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
