Dotz Par Safety Precautions

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.

• Be sure that the power outlet matches the required voltage for your unit.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord is frayed or broken.

• Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground prong from the electrical cord. This prong is

used to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire in case of an internal short.

• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.

• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user erviceable parts inside.

• Never operate this unit with the cover removed.

• Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack.

• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper ventilation. Allow about 6”

(15cm) between this device and a wall.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit if it has been damaged in any way.

• This unit is intended for indoor use only. Use of this product outdoors voids all warranties.

• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.

• Always mount this unit in a safe and stable matter.

• Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the point at which they exit

from the unit.

• Cleaning - The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. See the

Cleaning section of this manual for cleaning details.

• Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-

ters, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

B. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled into, the appliance.

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in perfor-

mance.

Dotz Par Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Dotz Par contains an automatic voltage switch, which will automatically

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, and this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol that is 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 control-

lers 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 fixtures and the controller are DMX

compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible

when linking several DMX fixtures. 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 and Primary/Secondary Operation): The Dotz

Par can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The device features 4 DMX Channel Modes; please see

the Channel Mode sections of this manual for the different modes. The DMX address can be con-

figured using the control panel on the rear of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require an

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 XLR connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR

connector at the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Dotz Par User Manual Page 6

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Dotz Par User Manual Page 7

Notice: Be sure to follow figures 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 into contact with the XLR cable’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could

cause a short circuit and result in erratic behavior.

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

minator 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 trans-

mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When insert-

ing standard 5-pin data cables into a 3-pin line, a cable adaptor must be used. These adaptors are

readily available at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Dotz Par Universal DMX Control

Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control

the chases and patterns, dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-

grams tailored to your individual needs. The Dotz Par has 4 DMX channel modes: a 3 Channel Mode,

4 Channel Mode, 5 Channel Mode, & 9 Channel Mode. See the Channel Mode sections of this man-

ual for details.

1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s traits with a standard DMX 512

controller.

2. To run your fixture in DMX mode, follow directions in the System Menu section of this manual to

set your DMX address and DMX Channel mode.

3. Plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller.

4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.

Dotz Par Primary-Secondary Configuration

Primary-Secondary Operation: This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and oper-

ate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In Primary-Secondary operation, one unit

will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can

act as a Primary or as a Secondary.

Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear

of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the

output. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only, and the last unit in

the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the

last fixture.

On the Primary unit, set your desired operating mode.

On the secondary units, press the MODE button until “Secd” is displayed.

The secondary units will now follow the primary unit.
