• Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required volt- age for your unit.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been 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 serviceable parts inside.

• Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.

(15cm) between this device and a wall.

• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.

• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out` doors 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-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 they exit from the unit.

• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by t he manufacturer. See page 21

for cleaning details.

Power Supply: The ADJ Dotz Panel 2.4 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. Always use the power cable

that was included with the unit.

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 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 xtures try to use

the shortest cable path possible. 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 Dotz Panel 2.4 can be con-

trolled via DMX-512 protocol. The Dotz Panel 2.4 has 5 DMX Channel Modes. The DMX address is

set on the rear panel of the Dotz Panel 2.4. 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 ca-

ble (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.

Dotz Panel 2.4 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 cable’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.
