Pocket Pro Pearl Mounting
Pocket Pro Pearl Mounting
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be
able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When
installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below
the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and perodic
safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these
qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
The installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
NOTICE: The suitable enviromental temperature for this lighting xture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting xture in an
enviroment where the temperatures are under or above the temperatures stated above. This will allow the xture to run at its best and
help prolong the xture life.
The Pocket Pro Pearl is fully operational in three dierent mounting
positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, mounted sideways
on trussing, or set on a at level surface. Be sure this xture is kept
at least 0.5m away from any ammable materials (decoration etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure
to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp
fails (see next page).
Screw one clamp via a M12 screw and nut to the included bracket.
Attach the bracket using the included screws to the bottom of
the Pocket Pro Pearl. Pull the safety-cable through the side holes
located underneath the handels. Run the safety cable over the trussing system or a safe xation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and
tighten the safety screw.

Pocket Pro Pearl DMX Set Up
Pocket Pro Pearl DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Pocket Pro Pearl 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 by most lighting and controller manufactures 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. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 and Master/Slave
Operation): The Pocket Pro Pearl can be controlled via DMX-512
protocol. The Pocket Pro Pearl two DMX channel modes; 11 channel mode & 13 channel mode. The DMX address
is set using the controls on the front 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 (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 professional sound and lighting stores).
Figure 1
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 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.

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

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
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
below details a proper cable conversion.
