INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A qualied electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or

installations.

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction
codes and regulations. Before rigging/mounting the xture to any metal truss/structure or placing the
xture on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal
truss/structure or surface is properly certied to safely hold the combined weight of the xture, clamps,

cables, and accessories.

Overhead xture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an

appropriately rated safety cable that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations.

Fixture should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized
personnel might reach the xture by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the xture when rigging, removing, or servicing.

Allow approximately 15-minutes for the xture to cool down before servicing.

The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), and af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 during operation. Always ensure that the structure that you are attaching the unit to is secure

and is able to support at least 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable that can hold
12 times the unit’s weight 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.

DMX SETUP

Power Supply: The ADJ Mega Bar RGBA contains an automatic voltage switch, which will automati-

cally 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 almost anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol that is used as a form of
communication between intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data in­structions from the controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to
xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (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 linking several DMX xtures together. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line
does not inuence the DMX addressing. For example, a xture 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
xture 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 Mega Bar RGBA can be con­trolled via DMX-512 protocol, and features 7 selectable DMX channel modes, as detailed in the DMX
Traits section of this manual. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the xture. 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 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.

17

DMX SETUP

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.

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termi-
nator 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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers 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 by using a
cable adapter, which can readily be found at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper

cable conversion.

18

DMX SETUP

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 different 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 affect all the xtures simultaneously.

If you set each xture 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 xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the selected xture. For example, when operating this unit in 4 Channel
mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 5 (1 + 4), the

third unit to 9 (1 + 4 + 4), the fourth unit to 13 (1 + 3 + 4 + 4), etc...

PRIMARY SECONDARY CONFIGURATION

This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit
will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any

unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can
be programmed to act as the Primary.

Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:

1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR
data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and
the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR
connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.

2. Units are set to primary mode by default. For any unit(s) that you want to set up as a secondary,
use the display screen and control panel to navigate to “SEcd” (Secondary Mode), and press SET
UP. The unit should now operate in secondary mode.

3. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the Primary, while all other units are designated as
Secondaries.

4. The secondary units will act in conjunction with the primary unit.

POWER LINKING

This feature allows multiple units to be linked together by way of the power input and output sockets.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected in this manner is 20 units.

After this quantity has been reached, a new power outlet must be used to accommodate additional
devices.

Linked devices must be of the same make and model type. DO NOT mix devices!

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Disconnect the unit from its power source, then remove the power cord from the unit and locate the
fuse holder inside the power socket. Use a at-head screwdriver to gently pry out the fuse holder, then
remove the bad fuse and replace with a new fuse of the same power rating (2A 250V). Please note that

the fuse holder also has a holder for a spare fuse.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with possible solutions.

Unit not responding to DMX:

Check that the DMX cables are connected and wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX
devices pin 2 may be “hot”). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors, as the

way in which the inputs and outputs are connected does affect operation.

Unit does not respond to sound:

1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.

2. Make sure that Sound Active mode is enabled.

CLEANING

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning of the internal and external optical lenses must be
carried out periodically in order to optimize light output.

• Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

• Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

• Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the xture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue,

dust, dew).
