WiFly Par QA5 Battery Precautions WiFly Par QA5 Battery Precautions
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 bat-
teries 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 problems.
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
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, coffee or other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ 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.
4. Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room tempera-
ture, 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 tempera-
ture, etc. are not maintained within the specied ranges, the

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - WiFly Par QA5 User Manual Page 6
WiFly Par QA5 Battery Precautions
WiFly Par QA5 Set Up
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.
Power Supply: The ADJ WiFly Par QA5 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 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
different 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.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - WiFly Par QA5 User Manual Page 7
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):
The WiFly Par QA5 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The WiFly
Par QA5 has 8 DMX channel modes, please see page 12-13 for the dif-
ferent modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the WiFly
Par QA5. 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.

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.

WiFly Par QA5 Battery Status & Charging
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.
When Channel 7 is between the values of 0-51, Channels 1-4 are
used, and Channel 6 will control strobing.
When Channel 7 is between the values of 52-102, Channel 8 is in
Color Macros Mode, and Channel 6 will control strobing.
When Channel 7 is between the values of 103-153, Channel 8 is in
Color Change Mode, and Channel 6 will control the color change
speed.
When Channel 7 is between the values of 154-204, Channel 8 is
in Color Fade Mode, and Channel 6 will control the color fade
speed.
When Channel 7 is between the values of 205-255, Channel 8 is in
Sound Active Mode, and Channel 6 will control the sound sensitivity.

applying power via battery, there will be a minimal charge
drop.
For a faster recharge, put the Load Switch in the “Off” position
and the Battery Switch in the “ON” position.
