SET UP
Power Supply: The ADJ Penta Pix contains an 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 Penta Pix has 5
DMX Channel modes. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the Penta Pix. 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.
Figure 1
A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. – www.americandj.eu – Penta Pix Instruction Manual Page 6
SET UP (continued)
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.
Figure 2
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,
(Resistance120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the
last fixture.
Figure 4
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.

DMX CONTROL
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the colors,
chases, dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual
needs.
1. The Penta Pix has 5 DMX Modes; a 4 Channel Mode, 8 Channel Mode, 11 Channel Mode, 20 Channel
Mode & 27 Channel Mode. See pages 10-14 for a detailed description of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages 5-6 as well as the set-up
specifications that are included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own
programs.
4. Follow the instructions on page 7 to select your desired DMX Mode and to set the DMX address. After you
have selected your DMX mode and set the address, then connect your DMX controller.
5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.
6. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.
MASTER-SLAVE SET UP
Master-Slave Set Up: This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a
controller. In a Master-Slave set up one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the
controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using appropriate XLR cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the
units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first
unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
2. Set the Master unit to your desired operational mode.
3. On the slave units press the MODE button until “SLAVE MODE” is displayed.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

PHOTOMETRIC CHART
POWER CORD DAISY CHAIN
With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another using the powerCON input and output
sockets. The quantity that can be connected is 13 fixtures maximum for 120V, and 25 fixtures
maximum for 230V. After the maximum fixtures has been reached you will need to use a new power
outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix fixtures.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once the cord has been removed locate the fuse holder next to the
powerCON input. Using a flat head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse housing. Remove the bad fuse and replace
with a new one.

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 a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust,
dew).
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.
If problems are note resolved please contact ADJ Products, LLC for service at 1-800-322-6337 (US customers) or for
European customers via our Website www.americandj.eu or via email: support@americandj.eu

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
