about 6” (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.

Mega Bar RGBA Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Mega Bar RGBA contains a automatic volt- age 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 Mega Bar RGBA can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Mega Bar RGBA has

7 DMX channel modes, please see pages 9-10 for the different modes. The DMX address

is set on the back panel of the Mega Bar RGBA. 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.

Termination reduces signal e rrors and avoids

signal transmission problem s and interference.

It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal,

(Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2

(DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

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 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 adapter

must be used, these adapters are readily available at most electric stores. The chart

below details a proper cable conversion.
