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 device will go into this state after 3 minutes without a DMX sig-
nal. This function can be switched on or off in the DMX traits (see the DMX Traits section for details).
When the sun protection is activated, the pan-and-tilt function of the moving-head will position 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) will be 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, functions such as motors lamps etc). This
state is automatically activated when no DMX signal is present for the set time (1-99min or off).
