Power Supply: The ADJ WiFly EXR QA5 IP contains an 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 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
dierent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all xtures 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 possibl e. 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.
DMX Cable Requirements: The WiFly EXR QA5 IP can be controlled
via DMX-512 protocol. The WiFly EXR QA5 IP has 5 DMX channel modes,
please see pages 14-15 for the dierent modes. The DMX address is set
on the back panel of the WiFly EXR QA5 IP.
Cable Requirements: This xture is designed with special cables for
both DMX and power. These cables are specically designed to maintain
the integrity of the IP rating. When using this xture outdoors be sure to
ONLY use the ADJ cables that have been manufactured to meet the IP
rating.
“First” DMX Cables - Special DMX “First” cables may be purchased
from ADJ to provide a means of data communication with standard DMX
xtures for indoor use. These cables will come with the IP rated twist lock
connector on one end and either a 3-pin XLR male or female connector
on the other depending on model. Be sure to only use these cables for
