Getting It Out Of The Box

CongratulationsonpurchasingoneofthecoolestprofessionalLEDParxtures

anywhere! Now that you’re the proud owner of a ProPar™ V12 (or hopefully, V12’s!),

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).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to

help, honest.

3. SETUP

Fuse Replacement

CAUTION! The ProPar™ V12 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ProPar™V12fuserequirereplacement,

please contact Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit

for service.

Connecting A Bunch of ProPar™ V12 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

master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels

requiredbyallthexturesonaserialdatalinkdeterminesthenumber

ofxtures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 distances. 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

xture’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

connector (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

connectortotheinputconnectorofthenextxture

consisting 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

requireaslavesetting.

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for

complete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

stability. 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.

4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

The Control Panel

All the goodies and different modes possible with the ProPar™ V12

areaccessedbyusingthecontrolpanelontherearofthexture.

There are 4 control buttons below the LED display which allow you to

navigate through the various control panel menus.

<MENU>

Is used to navigate to the previous higher-level menu item.

<ENTER>

Isusedtoselectandconrm/storethecurrentselection.

<UP>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in ascending order.

<DOWN>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.

The Control Panel LED Display shows the menu items you select from

the menu map on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the

displaywillshowimmediatelytherstavailableoptionfortheselected

menu function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.

Press the <MENU> button repeatedly until you reach the desired

menu function. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the

menu options. Press the <ENTER> button to select the menu function

currently displayed, or to enable a menu option. To return to the

previous option or menu without changing the value, press the

<MENU> button.
