INSTALLATION

POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS

External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and lasers which
are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ
lighting fixtures can cause severe internal damage, including burning of optics, dichroic color filters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, irises, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.

This issue is not unique to ADJ lighting fixtures, but rather it is a common issue with lighting fixtures
from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to completely prevent this issue from hap­pening, the guidelines below can reduce the risk of any potential damage if followed. Contact ADJ
Service for more details.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING OR MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING
UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS
A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout
the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for
lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This proto­col is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled con­troller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known
as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would
typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, such as the DMX
Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important
to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the fea­tures that you require.

DMX SETUP

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 manufacturers 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, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when using several DMX fixtures. 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 Ultra LB18 can be controlled
via DMX-512 protocol, and features multiple DMX channel modes. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a
female XLR connector at the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and can­not be split.

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 chances of erratic behavior.

20

DMX SETUP

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when operating with a DMX controller, in order to
ensure that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is
the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from
the DMX controller. The starting DMX address is configured by setting the correct DMX address on
the control panel display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for multiple fixtures, or set different addresses for each indi­vidual fixture. Setting multiple fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all those fixtures to react
in the same way. In this case, please note that changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel num­ber you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the
settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

As an example, when operating this device in 5 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX
address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 6 (1 + 5), the third unit to 1 (1 + 5 + 5), and so on.
(See the chart below for more details.)

PIXEL ZONES

In 30-, 33-, 38-, 41-, 60-, and 71-channel mode, the LED strip is divided into 6 separately controlled
pixel zones, with each pixel zone consisting of 3 pixels as shown in the illustration below. Activating
Pixel Flip in the system menu reverses the order of the arrangement of the pixel zones.

Please note that these pixel zones do not apply 5-, 8-, 10-, 13-, and 16-channel mode, as these
modes effectively control all 18 pixels as a single group.

DAISY CHAIN POWER LINKING

These units have the capability to be daisy chained together via the power in/out ports. The maxi­mum number of units that can be linked together in this manner is as follows:

• 12 units maximum when running on 120V power.

• 25 units maximum when running on 240V power.

DO NOT EXCEED THE NUMBER OF UNITS LISTED ABOVE.

DO NOT MIX MAKE AND MODEL TYPES WHEN DAISY CHAINING! All units that are connected in

this manner must be of the same make and model type.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an
extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the xture oper­ates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on

the xture’s optics. Clean the external lens surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris

accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no

user serviceable parts inside this xture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ

service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ
dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure
the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.

• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out
during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.

• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points
(ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids to enter
into the xture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause xture to fall and seri­ously injure a person(s).

• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
