environments and has been designed with an enclosure that effectively
protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust and
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).

WiFly EXR HEX5 IP Battery Precautions
1. Handling of Batteries
1.1 Do Not Short Circuit the Battery
Try to never short circuit the battery. It generates a very high
current which could cause the battery to overheat which may
result in electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, or explosion.
The LIR tabs may easily short-circuit by placing them on conductive surface. A short circuit may lead to heat build up and
damage of the battery. An appropriate circuitry with PCM is
employed to protect accidental short circuit of the battery pack.
1.2 Mechanical shock
Droping the unit, impact hit, bending, etc. may cause failure or
shortend life of the LIR battery.
3. Other
3.1 Battery connection
1). Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the battery is
strictly prohibited.
2). Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to
the batteries. Direct soldering may cause damage of components, such as separator and insulator, by heat build up.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - WiFly EXR HEX5 IP User Manual Page 6
3.2 Prevention of short circuit within a battery pack
There is enough insulation layers between wiring and the batteries to provide extra safety protection. The battery pack is
constructed in a way that no short circuit will occur which may
cause smoke or re.
3.3 Do No Disassemble the Batteries
1). Never disassemble the batteries.
Doing this may cause a internal short circuit in the battery,
which may lead to harmful fumes, re, explosion, or other prob-
lems.
2). Electrolyte Gel is harmful
Electrolyte Gel should not leak from the LIR battery. Should the
electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, ush the
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - WiFly EXR HEX5 IP User Manual Page 7

area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical
attention immediately.
3.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in re. This may
cause an explosion, which would be very dangerous.
3.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coee or other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact ADJ customer support
(800) 322-6337.
3.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by
shock. Should the battery be found damaged, including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the
battery package, smelling of an electrolyte, or leakage of the
electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with
a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away
from re to avoid re or explosion.
life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the device
in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte
gel leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long
periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may
indicate it is time to change the battery.
6. Battery Disposal
Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.
4. Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend that during
long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6
months. Doing this will prolong the life of the battery and will
also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the
30% mark.
5. Other Chemical Reaction
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a long
period of time without being used. In addition, if the various
usage conditions such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specied ranges, the

WiFly EXR HEX5 IP Set Up
WiFly EXR HEX5 IP Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ WiFly EXR HEX5 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 WiFly EXR HEX5 IP can be con-
trolled via DMX-512 protocol. The WiFly EXR HEX5 IP has 5 DMX channel modes, please see page 15 for the dierent modes. The DMX address
is set on the back panel of the WiFly EXR HEX5 IP.
Cable Requirements: This xture is designed with special cables for
both DMX and power. 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 (part #WIF901-DMX
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 twist lock 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# WIF901-Power
Cable). 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
2
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.
