  Octo Beam RGBW                                Safety Precautions

ADJ Products, LLC  -  www.adj.com  - Octo Beam RGBW Instruction Manual Page 4

•   To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit  

   rain or moisture

•   Do not spill water or other liquids  into or on to your unit.

•   Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been   

   frayed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground 

   prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the risk  

   of electrical shock and fire in case of an internal short.

•   Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.

•   Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user  

   serviceable parts inside.

•   Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed.

•   Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack

•   Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper  

   ventilation. Allow about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.

•   Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.

•   This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out`  

   doors voids all warranties.

•   During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.

•   Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.

•   Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to  

   be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,  

   paying particular attention to the point they exit from the unit. 

• Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by  

  t he manufacturer. See page 17 for cleaning details.

•   Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources  

   such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (inclu-

   d ing amplifiers) that produce heat.

•   The fixture should  be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

    A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

    B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.

    C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

    D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a  

        marked change in performance.

P

ower Supply:

  The  ADJ  Octo  Beam  RGBW  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 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 Octo Beam RGBW has 3 DMX Channel modes. The DMX address is 

set on the rear panel of the Octo Beam RGBW. Your unit and your DMX 

controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data 

input and data output. 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  professional  sound  and  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.
