POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting and 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 of
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, but rather 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 reduce the risk of potential damage. Contact
ADJ Service for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING OR MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING
UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS
A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
SUN PROTECTION MODE / HIBERNATION MODE
This state can be set via DMX, or the fixture will go into this state after 3 minutes without a
DMX signal.
When the sun protection is activated, the pan-and-tilt function of the moving-head will posi-
tion the lens away from direct sunlight, or other high intensity light source, to protect the
internal belts, electronics etc. from burn damage.
When the unit is in the 'sun protection state', it uses its accelerometer sensors (X-Y-Z) (only
present on discharge units and IP units) to position the front lens downwards, even when the
unit(s) is moved from its position. This will keep on changing the position of the head.
Please note that 'manual mode' overrides the 'sun-protection mode'. The hibernation
function is an existing feature that puts the unit into a 'sleep state' to save power (this is
a state where only the electronics remain on, and all other functions are turned off). This
state is automatically activated when no DMX signal is present for a pre-defined period time
(1-99min or off).
