User manual
Power Supply: The ADJ Encore Prole 1000 Color contains a auto-
matic 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
dierent 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 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 Encore Prole 1000 Color can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The Encore Prole 1000 Color has 5 DMX modes, please see pages 9-10
for the dierent modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the
Encore Prole 1000 Color. Your unit and your DMX
controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-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 light-
ing 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

Encore Profile 1000 Color 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.
Encore Profile 1000 Color 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).
Disconnect the unit from its power source. Remove the power cord
from the unit. Once the cord has been removed, the fuse holder is
located above the powerCON connection. Use a phillips head screw-
driver to remove the fuse holder. Remove the fuse located inside the
fuse holder and replace with the new fuse. Install the fuse holder and
new fuse and secure it.
Encore Profile 1000 Color Fuse Replacement
With this feature you can connect the xtures to one another
using the PowerCON input and output sockets. The quantity that
can be connected is 5 xtures maximum. After 5 xtures you will
need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same xtures.
DO NOT mix xtures.
