Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulationsonpurchasingoneofthemostrockingbox-shapedPARxturesanywhere!Now

thatyou’vegotyourToughStick™5xture(orhopefully,ToughStick 5’s!), you should carefully

unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condi-

tion. 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 materi-

als.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 ToughStick™ 5 utilizes a high-output switch-mode

power supply with an internal fuse. Under normal operating condi-

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

replaceable,howeveritisanadvancedproceduresuitedtoqualied

individuals.ShouldyourToughStick™5fuserequirereplacement,

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

for service.

Connecting A Bunch of ToughStick™ 5 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xutres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.
