Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulationsonyourpurchaseofonesuper-cool6-in-1LEDPARcan!Nowthat

you’ve got your LB Hex™ (or hopefully, more!), you should carefully unpack the box

and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If

anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and

keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing

materials.Ifaxturemustbereturnedtothefactory,itisimportantthatthexturebe

returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

Allxturesmustbepowereddirectlyoffaswitchedcircuitandcannot be run off a

rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer

channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

AC Voltage Switch -Notallxtureshaveavoltageselectswitch,sopleaseverifythat

thextureyoureceiveissuitableforyourlocalpowersupply.Seethelabelonthe

xtureorrefertothexture’sspecicationschartformoreinformation.Axture’s

listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the

xtureordevicecarefullytomakesurethatifavoltageselectionswitchexiststhatitis

set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line

voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied

does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All

xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

Fuse Replacement

CAUTION! The LB Hex™ utilizes a high-output switch-mode power

supply with an internal fuse. Under normal operating conditions, the

fuseshouldnotrequirereplacement.Thefuseiseldreplaceable,

howeveritisanadvancedproceduresuitedtoqualiedindividuals.

Should your LB Hex™ fuse require replacement, please contact Bliz-

zard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for service.

Connecting A Bunch of LB Hex™ Fixtures

You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512

controllerortorunshowsontwoormorexturessettosyncinmas-

ter/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required

byallthexturesonaserialdatalinkdeterminesthenumberofx-

tures the data link can support.

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.

Also,connectingmorethan32xturesononeserialdatalinkwithout

the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration

of the digital DMX signal.

The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640

ft).Themaximumrecommendednumberofxturesonaserialdata

linkis32xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

Tolinkxturestogetheryou’llneeddatacables.Youshouldusedata-

grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to

electromagnetic interference.

Forinstance,Belden©9841meetsthespecicationsforEIARS-485

applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but

note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distanc-

es. In any event, the cable should have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Page 8

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR

connector on the other end. (Duh!)

CAUTION:Donotallowcontactbetweenthecommonandthex-

ture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground

loop,andyourxturemayperformerratically.Testcableswithan

ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not

grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?

If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.

They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers If you’d like to build your own, the

chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Conductor 3-Pin Female

(Output)

5-Pin Male

(Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

DMX Data (-) Pin 2 Pin 2

DMX Data (+) Pin 3 Pin 3

Not Used. No Connection. No Connection.

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control

Step 1: Connect the male connector of the

DMX cable to the female connector (output)

on the controller.

Step 2: Connect the female connector of the

DMXcabletotherstxture’smaleconnec-

tor (input). Note: It doesn’t matter which

xtureaddressistherstoneconnected.

Werecommendconnectingthexturesin

terms of their proximity to the controller,

ratherthanconnectingthelowestxture

numberrst,andsoon.

Step 3:Connectotherxturesinthechain

from output to input as above. Place a DMX

terminatorontheoutputofthenalxture

to ensure best communication.

Page 9

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the

DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of

therstxture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the

rstxturewhichwillhavea(female)3pinconnec-

tortotheinputconnectorofthenextxturecon-

sisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed

to connect from the output as stated above to the

inputofthefollowingxtureandsoon.

A quick note: Often,

the setup for Master-

Slave and Standalone

operation requires that

therstxtureinthe

chain be initialized for

this purpose via either

settings in the control

panel or DIP-switches.

Secondarily,thextures

that follow may also re-

quire a slave setting.

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for com-

pleteinstructionsforthistypeofsetupandconguration.

Mounting & Rigging

ThisxturemaybemountedinanySAFEpositionprovidedthereis

enough room for ventilation.

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the

xtureusingasuitable“C”or“O”typeclamp.Theclampshouldbe

ratedtoholdatleast10xthexture’sweighttoensurestructuralsta-

bility. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure

properly“rated”riggingisusedwhenmountingxturesoverhead.

Adjusttheangleofthexturebylooseningbothknobsandtiltingthe

xture.Afterndingthedesiredposition,retightenbothknobs.

• When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp

replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.

• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.

•Nevermountinplaceswherethexturewillbeexposedtorain,

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

USING THIS FIXTURE WITH THE wiCICLE® WIRELESS

DMX SYSTEM

Inadditiontotheunbridledthrillyoualreadyreceivedthersttimeyoupluggedinyourxture,you’ll

bedelightedtoknowthatThisxturealsoworksseamlesslywithourwiCICLE®Wireless DMX system,

without additional power.

•ONLYxturesbearingthislogoarecertiedforusewiththewiCICLE®without external power.

• Unauthorized modication and/or using the wiCICLE®with un-

approved xtures may cause damage to the wiCICLE® or xture.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLIZZARD LIGHTING RESPON-

SIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE FROM SUCH OPERATION.

• Fixtures bearing the above logo MUST only use cable and connectors

which separate chassis/case ground from cable shielding. Cabling with the shield connected to the con-

nector’scase/chassismaycausemalfunctionanddamagetothewiCICLE®orxture.

•wiCICLE®transmitters have additional power requirements and therefore cannot be powered directly

fromthexture.YouwillneedtoutilizethesuppliedAC/DCadaptortodrivewiCICLE®transmitters in

your system.

EachwiCICLE®acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, depending on whether a DMX source is applied

to the integral XLR connector. This is an extremely powerful feature of the system, however, it also

requires 1 piece of due diligence, and that is the removal of extraneous DMX signals from your lighting

rigBEFOREproceeding.

SO: BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU SHOULD DISABLE ANY BUILT-IN PROGRAMS IN

THE FIXTURES YOU WISH TO CONNECT AND/OR SET THEM AS SLAVES PRIOR TO RETURN-

ING THEM TO DMX MODE (IF APPLICABLE). Most xtures contain a built-in automatic, sound

active or custom program which is designed to operate with the xture NOT connected to a

DMX chain.

Someoftheseprogramswillautomaticallyrununlessthextureissettoslavemode.Thesextures

typically sense DMX automatically and switch to DMX mode upon receiving DMX signal (our Pucks do

that!)

IfyouplugawiCICLE®“receiver”intoanautosensingxturesetasa“master,“chancesaregoodthat

thewiCICLE®“receiver” will begin transmitting the master program. Most times, this is undesirable, and

taking the two seconds to switch these programs off will solve a lot of ails.

Got that done? Good! Then let’s proceed!

1.PlugthewiCICLE®Receiverintothe“DMXIN”connectorofthextureandverifyitisreceivingpower

(the STATUS LED should illuminate.)

2.ConnecttheAC/DCadaptortothewiCICLE®Transmitter and verify it is receiving power (the STATUS

LED should illuminate.)

3. Press the RECESSED SELECTOR BUTTON on the Transmitter to select the operating channel group.

(The system will store this setting for future use)

The7-ColorStatusLEDwillchangecolortoindicatethecurrentchannelgroup:

· GROUP 1: RED

· GROUP 2: GREEN

· GROUP 3: YELLOW

· GROUP 4: BLUE

· GROUP 5: VIOLET

· GROUP 6: CYAN

· GROUP 7: WHITE

4. Follow the same procedure on the Receiver to select the channel group.

5. Once both the transmitter and receiver(s) are both set to the same channel group, connect the trans-

mittertotheDMXcontrollerortheDMXoutofaxtureonyourDMXchain.

6.OnceaDMXsignalisprovidedtothetransmitter,thestatusLEDwillblinkRED slowly until communi-

cationisestablishedwiththereceiver.ThestatusLEDonthereceiver(s)willashGREEN slowly until

communication is established.

7.Oncetheclearestchannelisauto-selected,thestatusLEDswillblinkquicklyonboththetransmitter

andreceiver.NOTE:ThecoloroftheLEDDURINGoperationdoesnotindicatechannelgroup,instead

it indicates whether the unit is transmitting or receiving. That’s It!

NOTE: “GROUP” number also cor-

responds to the “GROUP” setting

on our LightCaster™wireless DMX

Transceiver.
