Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulationsaspiringcrimeghterand/orpsychedelicmusicacionadofor

purchasing the LB™ Bar CSI! Now that you’ve got your LB™ Bar CSI (or hopefully,

more!), 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 dam-

aged 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).

Please read these instructions carefully. They include

important information about the installation, usage and

maintenance of this product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone

else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.

• ALWAYS 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 de-

calorrearpanelofthexture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

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

•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 disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse

and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.

•ALWAYSsecurextureusingasafetychain.NEVERcarrythexturebyits

head. Use its carrying handles.

• 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 or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized tech-

nical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.

• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.

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

• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.

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

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 open a support ticket at www.

blizzardlighting.com/support.

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.

Connecting A Bunch of LB™ Bar CSI

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 dis-

tance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The maximum recommended number of

xturesonaserialdatalinkis32xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

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

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

Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.

ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.

3. SETUP

Page 8

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connec-

tor 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:

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 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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.
