Registration
This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which is
highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.
Never touch the lamp with your bare fingers as the
oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never
move the fixture until the lamps have had ample time
to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under war-
ranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and skin.
The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina.
Never operate this unit without it’s covers, these covers have been specially
designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epileptic Warning: Those suering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly
into the lamp at all times.
Avoid switching the xture on and o repeatedly in short intervals as this will
reduce lamp life and intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use
gas sealed in a high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to
the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may
explode during prolonged extensive use. This risk is increased with age,
added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Extreme caution
should be used when operating this or any xture tted with a gas discharge
lamp. Never open this unit while in use.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is for your safety and the life length of the unit.
The Philips® Platinum 16R Discharge lamp has lifetime of 1500 hours.
ADJ recommends periodically checking the lamp running time (see page 29
“Lamp Use Hour”). When the lamp reaches the 1500 hour mark, or close to it,
we strongly suggest you switch the lamp out.
Replace the lamp following the instructions on pages 38-39. After replaceing
the lamp you must clear the LAMP RUNNING TIME (see page 29 “Lamp Use
Hour”).
Warning: DO NOT use this lamp more then 1500 hours. Using the lamp
any longer then the set life could seriously damage your unit.

Vizi Hybrid 16RX Mounting
Vizi Hybrid 16RX 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.
These 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 Vizi Hybrid 16RX is fully operational in three dierent mounting
positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, sideways on trussing,
or set on a at level surface. Be sure this xture is kept at least 12m
(40ft) 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). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attach-
ment.

Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the
Omega holders. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the rst
Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the
Vizi Hybrid 16RX. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega holder. Pull the safety-cable
through the openings located on the base plate and over the
trussing system or a safe xation spot. Insert the end in the
carabine and tighten the safety screw.

Vizi Hybrid 16RX DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ® Vizi Hybrid 16RX contains a electronic
ballast, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the
power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry
about wall 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 Vizi Hybrid 16RX can be controlled via DMX-512
protocol. The Vizi Hybrid 16RX is a 19 channel DMX unit. The DMX
address is set electronically 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).
Your cables should be made with a male and
female XLR connector on either end of the cable.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Hybrid 16RX Instruction Manual Page 12
Figure 1
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.

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.
