Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on your purchase of the Kryo.Mix™ CMY! Now that you’ve got your Kryo. Mix™ CMY (or hopefully more!) tents 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 mate-

rial 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 o a switched circuit and cannot be run o 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).

3. SETUP

Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.

ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.

Fuse Replacement

Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Then take out the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type of fuse. Reattach the fuse holder, and then reconnect power.

Connecting A Bunch of Kryo.Mix™ CMY 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 7

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, it’s no problem! you can simply use the in-

stalled 5-pin DMX input and/or output connections found on the back of your xture(s).

Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

Data 1- (Primary Data Link) Pin 2 Pin 2

Data 1+ (Primary Data Link) Pin 3 Pin 3

Data 2- (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 4 Pin 4

Data 2+ (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 5 Pin 5

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 8

Page 9

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the (male) 3/5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3/5-pin connector

of the rst xture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the

rst xture which will have a (female) 3/5-pin connector to the input connector of the next xture

consisting of a (male) 3/5-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 MasterSlave 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 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.

Mounting Points

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, which includes calculating working load limits, knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material

and the xture. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

Caution!

Please be aware, you should have a qualied electrician performing all

of your electrical connection needs. Better safe than sorry!

Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.

Clamp Mounting

This xture provides a mounting bracket assembly that secures the

bottom of the base, the “Omega Brackets,” and the safety cable

rigging point together. When mounting this xture to truss, be sure to

secure an appropriately rated clamp to the omega bracket using an

M10 screw tted through the center hole of the “omega bracket”.

1.) Clamp

2.) Omega Bracket

3.) ¼ Turn Quick Lock Fasteners

Securing the Fixture

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your xtures always be sure to secure your xture with a safety cable. Be sure to only use the

designated rigging point found on the underside of the base assembly for the safety cable. Never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

Lamp Alignment and Replacement

Important: Before rst use or when relamping, you must to make sure that the lamp is properly seated. An improperly seated lamp can cause the focal point to shift, and could

burn the gobos or other internal components. It is possible that the lamp can shift during transit. Follow these instructions to ensure proper seating of the lamp before use.

Access Inside the Head:

1.) Unplug the xture from power and allow it to cool down for 20 minutes, if applicable.

2.) Apply the tilt lock mechanism.

3.) Remove the four screws on each head cover and lift the cover up from the head.

Lamp Compartment:

1.) Disengage tilt lock, tilt the head, unscrew the 2x phillips screws from the lamp compartment cover, and remove it.

Remove

Screws

Remove lamp compartment cover. Properly seat the lamp in position.

2.) Remove the wires connecting the lamp, replace the lamp (if needed), and

manually adjust its vertical position.

Adjust Vertically

3.) If the lamp is too loose, with the lamp removed gently press down on the three metal tabs that hold the lamp in place. This can create a more secure grip once the lamp

is installed.

4.) Reinstall the lamp connection wires,

compartment cover, and then connect the xture to the mains to check if the adjustment has been correctly made.

Metal tabs that secure the lamp.

Testing for Proper Alignment:

1.) Power on the xture and view a focused spot on the wall (without eects, gobos, etc.)

2.) The hot spot should be fairly centered within the circle of light.

Adjust Lamp Down

Adjust Lamp UpCentered Lamp

3.) If needed, slight adjustments can be made to the lamp to move the hot spot into center

of the light on the wall. Adjust the lamp in the direction of the shifted hot spot.

Gobo Replacement

1) Disconnect the xture from power and allow to cool.

2) Position the head and apply the tilt lock.

3) Remove the rear head cover located on the same side as the pan lock

4) Remove the slot-n-lock gobo from the gobo wheel by lifting up slightly and sliding it out.

5) Using a small tool, pry the tension ring from the gobo holder.

6) Remove the old gobo, insert the new gobo, and replace in the reverse steps of removal.

ATTENTION:

- The original gobos supplied in this xture use a special coating, specically designed to

resist the high internal temperature.

- Custom gobos will similarly need to use an approved gobo type. Blizzard has tested “Type 3” and “KO/G05/P05/DY” type gobos available from gobosource.com with excellent results.

- Any xture damage caused by using an unapproved gobo type/supplier will not be covered under warranty!

5. APPENDIX

A Quick Lesson On DMX

DMX (aka DMX-512) was created in 1986 by the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) as a standardized method for connecting lighting consoles to lighting

dimmer modules. It was revised in 1990 and again in 2000 to allow more exibility. The

Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) has since assumed control over the DMX512 standard. It has also been approved and recognized for ANSI standard clas-

sication.

DMX covers (and is an abbreviation for) Digital MultipleXed signals. It is the most common communications standard used by lighting and related stage equipment.

DMX provides up to 512 control “channels” per data link. Each of these channels was originally intended to control lamp dimmer levels. You can think of it as 512 faders on a lighting console, connected to 512 light bulbs. Each slider’s position is sent over the data link as an 8-bit number having a value between 0 and 255. The value 0 corresponds to the light bulb

being completely o while 255 corresponds to the light bulb being fully on.

DMX data is transmitted at 250,000 bits per second using the RS-485 transmission standard over two wires. As with microphone cables, a grounded cable shield is used to prevent interference with other signals.

There are ve pins on a DMX connector: a wire for ground (cable shield), two wires for

“Primary” communication which goes from a DMX source to a DMX receiver, and two wires for a “Secondary” communication which goes from a DMX receiver back to a DMX source. Generally, the “Secondary” channel is not used so data ows only from sources to receivers. Hence, most of us are most familiar with DMX-512 as being employer over typical

3-pin “mic cables,” although this does not conform to the dened standard.

DMX is connected using a daisy-chain conguration where the source connects to the input of the rst device, the output of the rst device connects to the input of the next device,

and so on. The standard allows for up to 32 devices on a single DMX link.

Each receiving device typically has a means for setting the “starting channel number” that

it will respond to. For example, if two 6-channel xtures are used, the rst xture might

be set to start at channel 1 so it would respond to DMX channels 1 through 6, and the next

xture would be set to start at channel 7 so it would respond to channels 7 through 12.

The greatest strength of the DMX communications protocol is that it is very simple and robust. It involves transmitting a reset condition (indicating the start of a new “packet”), a start code, and up to 512 bytes of data. Data packets are transmitted continuously. As

soon as one packet is nished, another can begin with no delay if desired (usually another

follows within 1 ms). If nothing is changing (i.e. no lamp levels change) the same data will be sent out over and over again. This is a great feature of DMX -- if for some reason the

data is not interpreted the rst time around, it will be re-sent shortly.

Not all 512 channels need to be output per packet, and in fact, it is very uncommon to nd

all 512 used. The fewer channels are used, the higher the “refresh” rate. It is possible to get DMX refreshes at around 1000 times per second if only 24 channels are being transmitted. If all 512 channels are being transmitted, the refresh rate is around 44 times per second.

In summary, since its design and evolution in the 1980’s DMX has become the standard

for lighting control. It is exible, robust, and scalable, and its ability to control everything

from dimmer packs to moving lights to foggers to lasers makes it an indispensable tool for any lighting designer or lighting performer.

Keeping Your Kryo.Mix™ CMY As Good As New

The xture you’ve received is a rugged, tough piece of pro lighting equipment, and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. That said, like anything, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed.

You should absolutely keep the xture clean, especially if you are using it in an

environment with a lot of dust, fog, haze, wild animals, wild teenagers or spilled drinks.

Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable glass cleaner will greatly improve the quality of light output. Keeping the fans free of dust and debris will keep

the xture running cool and prevent damage from overheating.

In transit, keep the xtures in cases. You wouldn’t throw a prized guitar,

drumset, or other piece of expensive gear into a gear trailer without a case, and similarly, you shouldn’t even think about doing it with your shiny new light

xtures.

Common sense and taking care of your xtures will be the single biggest thing

you can do to keep them running at peak performance and let you worry about designing a great light show, putting on a great concert, or maximizing your client’s satisfaction and “wow factor.” That’s what it’s all about, after all!

Returns (Gasp!)

We’ve taken a lot of precautions to make sure you never even have to worry about sending a defective unit back, or sending a unit in for service. But, like any complex piece of equipment designed and built by humans, once in a while,

something doesn’t go as planned. If you nd yourself with a xture that isn’t behaving like a good little xture should, you’ll need to obtain a Return Authori-

zation (RA).

Don’t worry, this is easy. Just go to our website and open a support ticket at www.blizzardpro.com/support, and we’ll issue you an RA. Then, you’ll need to send the unit to us using a trackable, pre-paid freight method. We suggest us-

ing USPS Priority or UPS. Make sure you carefully pack the xture for transit,

and whenever possible, use the original box & packing for shipping.

When returning your xture for service, be sure to include the following:

1.) Your contact information (Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address).

2.) The RA# issued to you

3.) A brief description of the problem/symptoms.

We will, at our discretion, repair or replace the xture. Please remember that

any shipping damage which occurs in transit to us is the customer’s responsibility, so pack it well!

Shipping Issues

Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper, and must be reported to the carrier immediately upon receipt of the items. Claims must be made within seven (7) days of receipt.
