User Manual for ADJ Saber Spot RGBW LED Light

Quick guide from the manual

The ADJ Saber Spot RGBW is a DMX-intelligent LED fixture designed for indoor use in theaters, studios, and retail environments. This manual covers installation, DMX setup, system menu navigation, and maintenance. Always ensure the unit is mounted in a safe, stable manner and allow at least 6 inches (15cm) of ventilation space between the device and any wall.

Installation and Setup

The fixture features an automatic voltage switch, allowing it to be plugged into power sources worldwide. For DMX control, use an approved 110 Ohm shielded DMX cable. When daisy-chaining multiple fixtures, ensure the shortest cable path is used. For longer cable runs, use a 120 Ohm terminator on the last fixture in the chain to prevent signal errors.

DMX Cabling

The unit uses 3-pin XLR terminals for DMX input and output. If using 5-pin DMX cables, a proper cable adapter is required. When making your own cables, ensure the shield conductor does not touch the XLR outer casing to avoid short circuits.

Power Cord Daisy Chain

You can connect multiple fixtures to one another using the PowerCON input and output sockets. The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected is 38 at 110V and 68 at 240V. Always check the max amp rating of each fixture before linking.

System Menu Navigation

Use the MENU, ENTER, UP, and DOWN buttons to navigate the settings. Press ENTER to confirm a selection. Press and hold the MENU button for at least 3 seconds to save changes. The display locks after 30 seconds of inactivity; press the MENU button for 3 seconds to unlock.

Operating Modes

The fixture supports three main operating modes: Show Mode, RGBW Dimmer Mode, and DMX Control. In Master/Slave operation, link up to 16 units together using DMX cables. The master unit controls the programs, and slave units follow.

Maintenance

Periodic cleaning is essential to optimize light output. Frequency depends on the environment (smoke, fog, dust). Use a normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe the outside casing and external optics. Use a brush to clean cooling vents and the fan grill. Clean external optics every 20 days and internal optics every 30-60 days.
