RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture, among other skills. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

INSTALLATION

CLAMP INSTALLATION
This fixture features a mounting point on the yoke for the attachment of an Omega bracket and mounting clamp. There is also a safety cable loop located on the rear of the fixture near the display screen (see the illustration below). When mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to secure appropriately rated clamps and Omega brackets (not includ-ed) to the yoke, and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate weight rating to the safety cable loop.

CONNECTIONS
Ensure all connections and end caps are properly sealed with a dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppliers) to prevent corrosion, water intrusion, and/or electrical short circuiting. In order to maintain IP65 rating integrity and prevent water from entering the fixture, all unused con-nections must be sealed by closing their protective rubber caps.

POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and lasers which are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ lighting fixtures can cause severe internal damage including burning of optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, irises, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs. This issue is not unique to ADJ lighting fixtures; it is a common issue with lighting fixtures from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the guide-lines below can reduce the risk of any potential damage if followed. Contact ADJ Service for more details.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM-enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This proto-col is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible. With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM-enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors. Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the features that you require. The following parameters are accessible in RDM on this device:

CONTROL PANEL
The fixture includes an easy to navigate system menu control panel display where all necessary set-tings and adjustments are made. (See image below)

• MODE: Cycles through the main menu options and/or return to previous menu without making changes.
• DOWN/UP: Scroll through options in the selected menu.
• ENTER: Select highlighted option and/or confirm selection.

This device features two different settings for locking the keypad. Setting Lock to “ON” requires the user to simply press and hold the MODE button for 10 seconds to unlock the keypad. Setting Lock to “ON1” provides an additional safeguard against accidental unlocking by requiring a passcode to unlock the device. To unlock, press the MODE button so that “LOCKED is dis-played on the screen, then press UP DOWN UP DOWN ENTER in that particular order. Each button press will remove one asterisk from the LOCKED text on the display screen.

SYSTEM MENU

DMX SETUP

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of commu-nication 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 manufacturers 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, try to use the shortest cable path possible when using several DMX fixtures. 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 Encore LP18IP can be con-trolled via DMX-512 protocol, and features multiple DMX channel modes. Your unit and your DMX controller require either a 3-pin (for EU markets) or 5-pin (for US markets) XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector on the other. Also remem-ber that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a ter-minator 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 Some manufacturers use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmis-sion in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When insert-ing 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:

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture oper-ates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. Clean the external lens surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation. NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer. Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points
  (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
• NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
