Frequently Asked Questions - Dotz Par RGBL Adj

How do I set the DMX address on the Dotz Par RGBL?
Use the menu buttons on the back panel to access the DMX address setting. Press Menu until 'Addr' appears, then set the desired address using Up/Down buttons. Press Enter to confirm.
What are the different DMX channel modes?
The Dotz Par RGBL supports 4, 6, and 10 channel modes. The 4-channel mode controls RGBL separately. The 6-channel mode adds dimmer, strobe, and color macro. The 10-channel mode offers more advanced control including individual pixel control.
Can I use this light in outdoor shows?
No, the Dotz Par RGBL has an IP20 rating, meaning it is suitable for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or dust may damage the unit.
How do I clean the Dotz Par RGBL?
Disconnect power and allow the light to cool. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials. Ensure vents are free of dust.
Why is my light not responding to DMX?
Check that the DMX cable is properly connected and not damaged. Verify the DMX address matches the controller settings. Also ensure the unit is set to DMX mode (not Master/Slave or Auto). Try a different DMX cable or controller port.
What is the maximum number of units in a DMX daisy chain?
The maximum recommended is 32 units per DMX line. For longer runs, use a DMX splitter or amplifier to maintain signal integrity.
How does sound active mode work?
In sound active mode, the light responds to ambient music via its internal microphone. It will flash and change colors in sync with the beat. Use the menu to select sound sensitivity level.
Can I replace the LEDs myself?
No, the LEDs are non-user-serviceable. If an LED fails, contact Adj customer support or an authorized service center. Attempting disassembly may void warranty.
What power cable does the Dotz Par RGBL use?
It uses a standard IEC power cord (C13 connector). The unit operates on 100-240V AC, so it can be used worldwide with the appropriate regional plug.
How do I reset the light to factory defaults?
Press and hold the Menu button for about 3 seconds until the display shows 'Reset'. Use Up to select 'Yes' and press Enter. This clears all custom settings.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

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 to optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs.

This issue is not specific only 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 guidelines below can prevent any potential damage from occurring 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 WHILE UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.

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 protocol 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.

1900 0000-FFFF 424Ch (1); 7Ch (2); 8Ch (3); 10Ch (4); 13Ch (5); 16Ch (6)

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.

DMX SET UP

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 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 linking 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): This unit can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. 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 XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector at the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow fthe illustration below 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.

COMMON DMX + DMX - NOT USED NOT USED

DMX SET UP

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 reduce the risk of erratic behavior.

Adj Dotz Par RGBL - DMX SET UP - 1

Adj Dotz Par RGBL - DMX SET UP - 2

A DMX512 terminator reduces signal errors, avoiding most signal reflection interference. Connect PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture in series with a 120 Ohm, 1/4 W Resistor to terminate the DMX512.

DMX ADDRESSING.

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to "listen" to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

For example, when this unit is operating in 4 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 5 (1 + 4), the third unit to 9 (1 + 4 + 4), and so on. See the chart below for more details.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP

This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit's built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary.

Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:

  1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
  2. On the unit that you want to designate as the primary, use the display screen and control panel to navigate to Personality > Primary. Select this sub-menu using the ENTER button, and use the UP and DOWN buttons to set this to ON. Press SETUP to confirm your selection, then configure the unit's operation as desired.
  3. On the units that you want to designate as secondaries, use the display screen and control panel to navigate to Personality > Secondary. Select this sub-menu using the ENTER button, and use the UP and DOWN buttons to set this to ON. Press SETUP to confirm your selection. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the Primary, while all other units are designated as Secondaries.
  4. The secondary units will now follow the behavior of the primary unit.

NOTES:

  • Only one unit should be configured as the primary, while all the other units should be configured as secondaries.
  • All units should be set to the same DMX channel mode.
  • If fixtures fail to sync, verify that all settings mentioned above are the same, then power all devices off, then switch them on again to re-establish the link.

MULTI UNIT POWER LINKING

This features allows you to connect the fixtures to one another using the power cable input and output sockets.

The maximum number of units that can be linked in this manner is as follows:

• 29 units when running on 120V power.
• 49 units when running on 230V power.

DO NOT EXCEED THIS MAXIMUM NUMBER WHEN POWER LINKING UNITS!

All linked units must be of the same make and model type. Do not mix and match units!

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Disconnect the unit from its power source. Locate the fuse holder, which is beside the power port on the top of the unit, as shown in the diagram below. Use the flat head screwdriver to gently remove the fuse holder, then remove the used fuse and install a fresh fuse in its place. Always use a fuse of the same T1A / 250V rating for replacement.

Fuse T1A / 250V

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Adj Dotz Par RGBL - MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES - 1

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 operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture's optics. Clean the external lens surface regularly 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. 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.

B. 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.

C. 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 to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).

D. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
