INSTALLATION, MOUNTING AND CONNECTIONS
1. Installation / Mounting
The Uni pak-II was designed to be mounted on a truss rig or ceiling. It is recommended that you use a suitable
mounting clamp and safety cable when mounting to any structure. There are two holes on the Uni pak-II.
These are in place for a mounting clamp or to fasten to a wall or ceiling. For cooling purposes, it is necessary
to mount the pack so that air is free to circulate around the dimmer. There should be at least 12 inches of
clearance between the pack and anything surrounding it.
2. Connections
The Uni pak-II is supplied with a single 10 Amp Edison plug attached to a 16 gauge line cord. This cord should
be connected to a service capable of suppling at least 10 amps and be protected by a properly sized circuit
breaker. Lamp loads should be plugged into to the dual 10 Amp Edison sockets which are supplied on the face
of the pack. 3 pin XLR’s are supplied for the input and output of the data link. Connect out of the console or
previous fixture in line and into the input of the Uni pak-II. Connect out of the Uni pak-II and into the input of
next pack or fixture in line. It is recommended that the last pack or fixture in line include a DMX terminator into
the output. A DMX terminator consists of a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt resistor soldered across pins 2 & 3 of a 3 pin
XLR connector.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Trouble shooting
No Power to the pack:
Disconnect the main power line cord. Reconnect the line cord to ensure proper connection. If the problem still
persists, check the building service panel and make sure the circuit breakers are on.
No Channel output:
Disconnect the main power line cord. Check the corresponding channel fuse (see replacing fuses section).
Replace if blown. Reconnect line cord. If controlling via DMX, ensure that you are receiving DMX signal at the
pack. Indicator in the display should be flashing when signal is present. If signal is not present, check the XLR
connections from console or previous fixture in line. If problem still persists, replace XLR cable between
previous device and pack and try again.
Undesired 100% channel output:
Check the “Dim/Switch” settings. See “Assigning as Switch or Dimmer Pack” sections and set accordingly. If
problem still persists, ensure that you are not receiving channel output from your console by disconnecting the
XLR input cable.
If you’ve tried the above and the unit continues to malfunction, please contact ADJ customer service at
support@americandj.eu, your unit will require service.
2. Replacing Fuse(s)
Fuse Replacement: Disconnect the main power line cord. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the fuse
holder cap. Pull out the old fuse and replace it with a new one of the exact same type. Replace the fuse cap
with the flat head screw driver. Do not over tighten as this may result in a broken and unusable fuse holder.

ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment
Dear Customer,
The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardous
substances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry.
It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI),
cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flame
retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operation
involves electric or electromagnetic fields – in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in our
households or at work.
As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION Professional
and ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two years
prior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materials
and manufacturing processes.
Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of the
European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use are
always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, is
environmentally friendly.
The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feel
obligated to make our contribution in this respect.
ADJ Products, LLC – www.adj.com– Uni pak II User Manual 14
WEEE – Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Every year thousands of tonnes of electronic components, which are harmful to the environment, end up at the
waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible disposal or recovery of electronic components,
the European Union has adopted the WEEE directive.
The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the system of the
“Green Spot”, which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have to make their contribution to
the utilization of waste at the time they release the product. Money resources obtained by doing so will be
applied to develop a common system of waste management. Thereby we can ensure professional and
environmentally friendly scraping and recycling program.
As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution towards it.
(Registration in Germany: DE41027552)
That means that products of AMERICAN DJ and AMERICAN AUDIO can be left in the collection points free of
charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of ELATION Professional, which are used
only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please send Elation products directly to us at the end of their
lifetime so that we can professionally dispose of them.
Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment protection and we
are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.
We are happy to answer any of your inquiries and welcome your suggestions at: info@americandj.eu
