3.4 Do Not Expose the Battery to Heat or Fire
Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire. This may cause an explosion, which would be very dangerous.
3.5 Do Not Expose the Battery to water or liquids
Never soak/drop the batteries in liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coffee or
other.
3.6 Battery Replacement
For battery replacement please contact American DJ customer support (800) 322-6337 US / +31 (0)45 546 85
30 (Europe).
3.7 Do Not use a damaged Battery
The battery could be damaged during shipping, caused by shock. Should the battery be found damaged,
including damages to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package, smelling of an
electrolyte, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or other, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with a odor of electrolyte
or a gel leakage should be placed away from fire to avoid fire or explosion.
4. Battery Storage
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend
that during long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing this will prolong the life of
the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the 30% mark.
5. Other Chemical Reaction
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if stored for a
long period of time without being used. In addition, if the various usage conditions such as charge, discharge,
ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery
maybe shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the
batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may
indicate it is time to change the battery.
6. Battery Disposal
Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.
DMX SET UP
Power Supply:
The ADJ Mega QPlus GO 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 correct power
voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication
between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to
the fixture. DM
X 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 single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. 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 Mega QPlus GO can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. The Mega QPlus GO has 8 DMX modes, please see pages 8-9 for
the different modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the Mega QPlus GO.
Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector 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.
