DMX SET UP
Power Supply: The ADJ Mini Dekker LZR contains a automatic voltage 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 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 different manufactures 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, 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 Mini Dekker LZR has two DMX channel modes; a 2 channel mode and 7 channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear 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. 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 remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split. Notice: Be sure to follow figures 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.

XLR Pin Configuration Pin1 = Ground
Pin2 = Data Compliment (negative)
Pin3 = Data True (positive)
Figure 3
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.
Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX­) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

DMX SET UP (continued)
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures 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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Page 14
A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. – www.americandj.eu – Mini Dekker LZR Instruction Manual Page 14
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 fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on the rear panel. 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.
CLEANING
Fixture 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. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics 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. 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.

ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment
Dear Customer, The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardous substances.
This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry. It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI), cadmium
(Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flame retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operation involves electric or electromagnetic fields – in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in our households or at work.
As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION Professional and ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two years prior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes.
Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of the European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use are always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, is environmentally friendly.
The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feel obligated to make our contribution in this respect.
WEEE – Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Every year thousands of tonnes of electronic components, which are harmful to the environment, end up at the waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible disposal or recovery of electronic components, the European Union has adopted the WEEE directive.
The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the system of the
“Green Spot”, which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have to make their contribution to the
utilization of waste at the time they release the product. Money resources obtained by doing so will be applied to develop a common system of waste management. Thereby we can ensure professional and environmentally friendly scraping and recycling program.
As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution towards it. (Registration in Germany: DE41027552) That means that products of AMERICAN DJ and AMERICAN AUDIO can be left in the collection points free of
charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of ELATION Professional, which are used only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please send Elation products directly to us at the end of their lifetime so that we can professionally dispose of them.
Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment protection and we are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.
We are happy to answer any of your inquiries and welcome your suggestions at: info@americandj.eu
