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 Puck™ Fab5 Flat LED PAR Cans
You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-
512 controller or to run shows on two or more fixtures set to
sync in master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a
serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also, connecting more than 32 fix-
tures 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 fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
Data/DMX Cabling
To link fixtures 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 specifications 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
USInG THIS FIXTURE WITH THE wiCICLE® WIRELESS DMX SYSTEM
In addition to the unbridled thrill you already received the first time you plugged in
your fixture, you'll be delighted to know that This fixture also works seamlessly with our
wiCICLE® Wireless DMX system, without additional power.
• ONLY fixtures bearing this logo are certified for use with the wiCICLE® without external
power.
• Unauthorized modification and/or using the wiCICLE® with
unapproved fixtures may cause damage to the wiCICLE® or
fixture. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLIZZARD LIGHTING
RESPONSIBLE 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 connec-
tor's case/chassis may cause malfunction and damage to the wiCICLE® or fixture.
• wiCICLE® transmitters have additional power requirements and therefore cannot be
powered directly from the fixture. You will need to utilize the supplied AC/DC adaptor to
drive wiCICLE® transmitters in your system.
