Flat Par QA12XS
The Flat Par QA12XS is fully operational in three different mounting
positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, hanging sideways on
trussing, or set on a flat level surface. The unit should be mounted
using a mounting clamp (not provided), affixing it to the mounting
bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is
firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always
ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure
and is able to support a weight of 10 times the unit's weight. Also,
always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the
unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be installed by a professional, and it must be
installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people's grasp.

Notice:
Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-
nect 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.

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 con-
nected 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 decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,
these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.
