Chameleon QBar Pro DMX Set Up Power Supply: DMX-512:

The ADJ Chameleon QBar Pro 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 is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro tocol 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 trav els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter minals 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 compli ant. 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 Chameleon QBar Pro can be controlled via DMX protocol. The Cha meleon QBar Pro has 7 DMX channel modes, please see pages 7-8 for the different modes. Your unit and your DMX controller require a stan dard 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.

Figure 1

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 con ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Chameleon QBar Pro User Manual Page 5

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 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 Products, LLC part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibili ties of erratic behavior. 3 1 2 3 1 2 Figure 4

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 stan dard 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.

Chameleon QBar Pro 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 6 fixtures maximum. After 6 fixtures you will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix fixtures.

Chameleon QBar Pro 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.

Chameleon QBar Pro Trouble Shooting

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.

Unit not responding to DMX:

1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.

Unit does not respond to sound:

1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.

2. Make sure that Sound Active mode is activated.

Chameleon QBar Pro Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter nal 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).
