Safety Precautions
WiFly QA5 IP
Power Supply: The ADJ WiFly QA5 IP 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 proto-
col used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and
controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the
controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels
from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR termi-
nals 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 single
controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compli-
ant. 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 Operation): The
WiFly QA5 IP can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The WiFly QA5
IP has 8 DMX channel modes, please see pages 9-10 for the different
modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the WiFly QA5 IP.
Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connec-
tor 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 lighting stores). Your
cables should be made with a male and female
XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained
and cannot be split.
