Caution: Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse, unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ® technician. Replace with anything other than the specified part can damage your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

Warning: If, after replacing the lamp or fuse either one continues to blow, STOP using the unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing

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 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con- nected 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.

	Termination reduces signal errors and
1	avoids signal transmission problems
3	and interference. It is always advisable
2	to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
	120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)	Figure 4
	and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors 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.

to use the unit may cause serious damage.

Fuse Replacement: Disconnect the unit’s main power supply. Insert a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing. Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction to remove the fuse holder. Remove the fuse holder to expose the fuse. Remove the old fuse and discard it. Replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the fuse holder back into it’s housing and turn it in clockwise direction to lock the holder in place.

Lamp Replacement: Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the use of a flip-up front cover that is retained by thumb screws.

1.Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with halogen lamps.

2.Remove the thumb screw on the top/rear of the unit that holds the lamp socket assembly cover in place.

3.After removing the thumb screw, slide out the cove from the rear of the unit to expose the lamp socket assembly.

4.Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

5.Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse order.

Halogen Lamp Warning: This fixture is fitted with halogen lamps which are highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the lamps with your bare fingers as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty conditions.
