Getting It Out Of The Box

CongratulationsonpurchasingFlurryEXA™,thefunsizedmovingspotheadxturethat

is small in stature, but big where it counts! Now that you’re the proud owner of a Flurry

EXA™ (or hopefully, Flurry EXA’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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

Fuse Replacement

Withaatheadscrewdriver,wedgethefuseholderoutofitshousing.

Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same

type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Connecting A Bunch of Flurry EXA™ 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

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.

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wiCI-

CLE®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 connector’s case/chassis may cause malfunc-

tion 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.
