Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the
Omega holders. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first
Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the
Illusion Dotz 4.4. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clock-
wise. Install the second Omega holder. Pull the safety-cable
through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the truss-
ing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine
and tighten the safety screw.

NOTICE:
The suitable enviromental temperature for this light-
ing fixture is between -25˚ C to 45˚ C. Do not place this lighting
fixture in an enviroment where the temperatures are under or
above the temperatures stated above. This will allow the fixture
to run at its best and help prolong the fixture life.

Power Supply:
The ADJ Illusion Dotz 4.4 contains a electronic volt-
age switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into
the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry
about wall voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers.
A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fix-
ture. DMX 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. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. 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 and Master/Slave
Operation):
The Illusion Dotz 4.4 can be controlled via DMX-512 pro-
tocol. The Illusion Dotz 4.4 can be either a 12, 14, or 59 channel DMX
unit. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the
front panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX
controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm
Data cable 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 stan-
dard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may
be purchased at almost all professional sound and
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with
a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
