Mini Dekker LZR Safety Precautions

• 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.

• Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required volt­ age for 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 11 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.

Mini Dekker LZR DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Mini Dekker LZR 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 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 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 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.

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

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.
