• This lovely user manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing the Kryo.Morph™, the most far-out moving head in the galaxy with mind-blowing 3-in-1 beam/spot/wash capabilities! Now that you’ve got your Kryo.Morph™ (or hopefully, Morphs!) 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).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This xture falls under protection class I, this xture must be earthed!

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

• Make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the line voltage you are

connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the xture.

• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.

• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.

• The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more than 10 meters (32.8 FT).

• Do not touch the device’s housing bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot).

Allow the xture to cool approximately 20 minutes.

• If the xture has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (e.g. after transporta-

tion), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

• During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.

• The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat. Fast on-offcycles (e.g. 10 min. on/10 min. off) will reduce lamp life.

• Always disconnect the xture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing the

fuses, or any part.

• For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.

• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

• ALWAYS secure xture using a safety chain. Use its carrying handles while transporting.

• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).

• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. NEVER try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage.

• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.

Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact us at www.blizzardlighting.com/support.

Fuse Replacement

With a phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove 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.Morph™ 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.

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

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 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

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.
