P

ower Supply:

 The ADJ WiFLY Bar QA5 contains a automatic volt-

age 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 pro-

tocol 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 trav-

els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-

minals 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 Bar QA5 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The WiFLY 

Bar QA5 has 6 DMX channel modes, please see page 12-13 for the dif-

ferent modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the WiFLY 

Bar QA5. 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.

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.
