The ADJ 18P HEX is an RGBAW+UV LED wash light designed for professional lighting applications. Before operating, ensure the unit is connected to a compatible power source (100-240V auto-sensing). Always prioritize safety by using a safety cable and ensuring proper ventilation. The fixture supports multiple operating modes, including DMX control, Sound Active, and built-in programs.
Installation
The unit must be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided) attached to the provided bracket. Ensure the mounting structure can support at least 10 times the weight of the unit. A safety cable capable of holding 12 times the unit's weight must be used. Maintain at least 6 inches (15cm) of clearance from walls for proper ventilation.
DMX Setup
The fixture supports DMX-512 protocol via 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connections. When linking multiple fixtures, use the shortest cable path possible. For long cable runs, use a 110-120 ohm terminator on the last unit to prevent erratic behavior. The fixture features 4 DMX channel modes: 6, 7, 8, and 12 channels.
Operating Modes
- DMX Control: Allows control via a standard DMX 512 controller.
- RGBWA + UV Mode: Manual adjustment of individual color intensities.
- Sound Active Mode: Unit reacts to sound; sensitivity is adjustable.
- Program Mode: 7 built-in programs with adjustable fade and change speeds.
- Static Color Mode: Choose from 64 preset colors.
Maintenance
Fuse Replacement: Disconnect power, remove the power cord, and use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder to replace the fuse.
Cleaning: Periodically clean internal and external optical lenses to optimize light output. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Clean external optics every 20 days, depending on the environment (smoke, fog, dust).
Safety Guidelines
This unit is for indoor use only. It emits high-intensity UV radiation (Risk Group 3). Avoid direct eye and skin exposure at distances shorter than 11 feet (3.3m). Do not operate if the protective lens is damaged or missing.
