Ricochet Safety Precautions

Ricochet DMX Set Up

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this unit
rain or moisture

• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been
frayed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break o the ground
prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk
of electrical shock and re in case of an internal short.

• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.

• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.

• Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.

• Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack

• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper
ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.

• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out`
doors voids all warranties.

• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.

• Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.

• Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to the point they exit from the unit.

• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by
t he manufacturer. See page 23 for cleaning details.

• Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (inclu­ d ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.

Power Supply: The ADJ Ricochet 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
dierent 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 Ricochet has two DMX channel modes; 12 channel mode and 15
channel mode. The DMX address is set on the top panel of the Ricochet.
Your unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110
Ohm Data cable for data input and data output. We recommend Accu­Cable 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 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

Ricochet DMX Control

Ricochet ADJ UC IR Control

Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a univer-

sal DMX-512 controller to control the master dimmer, rotation and
color. A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored

to your individual needs.

1. The Ricochet has 2 DMX channel modes; 12 & 15 channels. See
pages 15-22 for detailed description of the DMX values and 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 includ­ ed with your DMX controller. Follow the instructions on page 8 to
set the DMX address.

3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.

5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.

Ricochet Master-Slave Configuration

Master-Slave Conguration 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 approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er 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 rst 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 termina­ tor at the last fixture.

using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be

connected is 16 xtures maximum for 120V and 30 xtures maxi­mum for 230V. After the maximum amout of xtures is connected

you will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same

xtures. DO NOT mix xtures.

Ricochet Fuse Replacement

Fuse Replacement: Unplug the unit from any power source it may
be connected to. Once the power has be disconnected, use a phillips
head screw driver to unscrew the fuse holder located around the I.E.C.
inputs. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one, and screw
the fuse holder back in.

Warning: If after replacing the fuse you continue to blow fuses, STOP
using the unit. Contact customer support for further instructions. Con­tinuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.

Ricochet Cleaning

Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the
internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to opti­mize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-

side 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). In heavy use we recom­mend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure lon­gevity, and crisp beam output.

Ricochet Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting: Listed below is a problem that you may encounter,
with a solution.

No light output from the unit;

1. Be sure the fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on the rear
panel inside the power socket. See Fuse Replacement.
