Flat Par QA5XS Set Up

P

ower Supply:

The ADJ Flat Par QA5XS contains a 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 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 controllers only have a DATA

“OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures 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, when using several

DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. 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 Operation):

The Flat Par QA5XS can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Flat

Par QA5XS has 8 DMX channel modes, please see pages 9-10 for the different DMX modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the Flat Par QA5XS. 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 and female

XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

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 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 terminator 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 possibilities of erratic behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-

512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures 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 electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Master-Slave Operation:

This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-Slave configuration. In a Master-Slave configuration one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react and copy the controlling units operation. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only one unit can be programmed to act as the “Master.”

Master-Slave Connections and Settings:

1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the unit.

Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember

that the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR con-

nector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the

female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the

male XLR connector only.

2. Connect the first “Slave” unit to the “Master.”

3. Set the “Master” unit to your desired mode of operation. The “Slave”

unit will now follow the “Master”.

Flat Par QA5XS Power Cord Daisy Chain

With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be connected is 18 fixtures maximum. After 18 fixtures you will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO

NOT mix fixtures.

Flat Par QA5XS Installation

The Flat Par QA5XS is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, hanging sideways on trussing, or set on a flat level surface. The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), affixing it to the mounting bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed 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 a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.

Flat Par QA5XS Fuse Replacement

Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, you will find that the fuse holder is located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one. The fuse holder also has a holder for a spare fuse.

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

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the

outside casing.

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

every 20 days.

3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging

the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
