Vizi CMY300 Installation

The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), axing it to the mounting
bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is rmly xed to avoid vibration

and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is
secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable

that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the xture. The equipment must be

installed by a professional, and it must be installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people’s
grasp.

Vizi CMY300 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 qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself.

These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.

The Vizi CMY300 is fully operational in three dierent 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 attachment.

Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems
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.

Power Supply: The ADJ Vizi CMY300 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 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 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 Vizi CMY300
can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Vizi CMY300 has 3 DMX channel
modes. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector
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 pro 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.

Figure 1

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.

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

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 con-

nected 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.

Termination reduces signal errors and

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmis-

sion 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.

Vizi CMY300 DMX Addressing

DMX ADDRESSING

All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture

responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which

the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment

of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control

display on the xture.

You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set dierent addresses
for each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react
in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures

simultaneously.

If you set each xture to a dierent DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only aect the selected xture.

In the case of the Vizi CMY300, when in 24 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of the

rst unit to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49 (25 + 24), and so on. (See chart below

for more details.)
