Stinger Safety Precautions
Safety Issues: This unit may “pop” the fuse if the maximum allotted load of 2 amps is reached.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit rain or moisture.
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
• 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. Do not attempt to
operate this unit if the power cord has been frayed or broken.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• 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.
• 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 safe and stable matter.
• Power cords should be routed so they are not likely to be walked on, pinched by items placed
upon or against them.
• 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, or liquid has been spilled into, the unit.
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or water.

Stinger Laser Warnings and Safety
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defect
is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this could indicate damage to the diraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser
levels above Class 3R.
Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled bal-
conies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even
laser reections can be hazardous.
Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal oense.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, the housing is open, or if the optics appear dam-
aged in any way.
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start
res, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.
Never leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-
trained operator who is familiar with the information enclosed in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user
is responsible for determining the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and eects overhead.
Stinger DMX Set Up
Power Supply: The ADJ Stinger 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 protocol used by most lighting and
controller manufacturers 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 locat-
ed on all DMX xtures (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 xtures try to use
the shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not
inuence 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: The Stinger can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
Stinger is a 10-channel DMX device. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the
rear panel 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 and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must
be daisy chained and cannot be split.
ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Stinger User Manual Page 7
Stinger DMX Set Up
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. This unit use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission. 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 electron-
ics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Stinger Installation
The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), which should be axed 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 at least 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety
cable that can hold at least 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.
