marked change in performance.
CAUTION: This unit like any wireless device is highly susceptible
to static electricity. Static electricity can severly damage the unit.
IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor
water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed
as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the
Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the
protection against water entering the fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is
one, which has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress of
dust (6) and high-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS!
Please note although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is NOT suitable for
marine and/or coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a
marine and/or coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive
wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the fixture. Damages
and/or performance issues resulting from installation in a marine and/or
coastal environment will void the manufactures warranty and will NOT be
subject to any warranty claims and/or repairs.
Ensure ALL connections and end caps are properly sealed with a non-
conductive dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppl
prevent water ingress/condensation and/or corrosion.
OPTIONAL CORROSION- RESISTANT COATING
Optional Corrosion-Resistant Coatings may be available for this fixture.
Please consult your Elation Professional sales representative for details.

7PZ IP Set Up 7PZ IP Protective Valve
Power Supply: The ADJ 7PZ IP 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 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
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. 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.

DMX Cable Requirements: The 7PZ IP can be controlled via DMX-
512 protocol. The 7PZ IP has 12 DMX channel modes, please see pages
9-21 for the dierent modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel
of the 7PZ IP.
Cable Requirements: This xture powered by powerCON TRUE1 power
cables. These cables are specically designed to maintain the integrity
of the IP rating. When using this xture outdoors be sure to ONLY use
the ADJ cables that have been manufactured to meet the IP rating.
“First” DMX Cables - Special DMX “First” cable may be purchased
from ADJ to provide a means of data communication with standard DMX
xtures for indoor use. These cables will come with the IP rated connector on one end and either a 3-pin XLR male or female connector on the
other depending on model. Be sure to only use these cables for intergrading this xture in a standard DMX chain.

“First” Power Cable – A special power “First” cable is included with
every xture. This cable is used to provide power to your xture. This
cable comes with the IP rated twist lock connector on one end and a
standard Edison 3-prong, grounded prong on the other end. Be sure to
only use this cable for power distribution and never attempt to connect
this cable to the DMX lines.
You can chain multiple xtures together through serial linking. Using the
IP rated signal cables provided through ADJ (part# TRU113). Always
be sure to daisy-chain your in and out data connections, never split
or “Y” your DMX connections unless you are using an approved DMX
splitter such as the ADJ WiFly D6 Branch or the original D6 Branch
(Both not IP rated).
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.

and interference. It is always advisable

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
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.
