Operation - ADJ stinger ii User Instructions

Stinger II
Power Supply:
The ADJ Stinger II contains a 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 cor-
rect power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fix-
ture. 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 manufactures to be linked together and operate from a sin-
gle controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX com-
pliant. 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 and Master/Slave
Operation): The Stinger II can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The Stinger II is has 2 DMX channel modes, a 2 channel mode and 9
channel mode. The DMX address is set electronically using the con-
trols on the back panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable 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-
fessional sound and lighting stores). Your cables
should be made with a male and female XLR con-
nector on either end of the cable. Also remember
that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot
be split.
