4 STAGE PAK Operation Instructions

Power Supply: The American DJ

4 STAGE PAK contains a electronic

ballast, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power

source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry about wall volta-

ge, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used

by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication

between intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data

instructions from the controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data

that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-

minals located on all DMX xtures (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 xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper

DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shor-

test cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX

line does not inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture 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. Therefore, the rst xture controlled by

the controller could be the last xture in the chain. When a xture 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 and Master/Slave Ope-

ration): The 4 STAGE PAK can be controlled via DMX-

512 protocol. The 4 STAGE PAK can be either a 8 or 10

channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set electronically

using the controls on the front panel of the unit. Your unit

and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-512

110 Ohm Data cable 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 can-

not be split.

4 STAGE PAK DMX Set Up

Notice: Be sure to follow gures 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 ter-

minator 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.

4 STAGE PAK DMX Set UP

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical

lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the xture opera-

tes (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend

cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp

output.

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

casing.

2. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

4 STAGE PAK Cleaning

Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solu-

tions.

No light output from the unit;

1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard wall outlet.

2. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located at the rear of

the unit.

3. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound. Tap- ping

on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may not activate the unit.

2. Check the Mic setting. It may be set to a lower sensitivity setting.
