Power  Supply:

  This  unit  is  available  only  in  120v.  Before  plugging 

your  unit  in  be  sure  the  source  voltage  in  your  area  matches  the 
required voltage for your American DJ

 Energy DMX™. 

General Operation:

 

This fixture is designed to operate as a stand 

alone,  sound-active  unit,  or  in  a  Master/Slave  configuration.  It  can 
also  operate  via  DMX  controller.  The  Energy  DMX™  is  ready  to  be 
plugged in out of the box. After plugging the power cord into a power 
outlet the unit will immediately begin to strobe. 

Duty Cycle:

 

Because  the  Energy  DMX™  can  be  used  for  continuous  output  (ie 
while  simulating  lightning),  it  can  build  up  intense  heat.  Due  to  the 
build up of intense heat the unit should not run for 15 minutes contin-
uously. After 15 minutes of continuous use, allow the unit to cool for 
about fifteen minutes, this will greatly increase the lamp life and insure 
product longevity. 

Optional Remote:

American  DJ

®

  offers  a  blackout  control  that  may  be  used  to  control 

the  unit  by  remote  such  as  the  IRC-1  controller.  Some  remote  con-
trols will allow you to chase several strobes and some may allow you 
to  only  adjust  the  flash  rate.  The  remote  operations  very  by  model, 
please  see  your  dealer  or  visit  our  web  site  for  more  information  on 
the available remote controls.
