1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x HighBeam™ Professional LED PAR Fixture

• 1 x Awesome dual mounting Yoke with locking knobs

• 1 x All important power cord

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

The Highbeam, it is sometimes used as a warning when you are speeding down the

highway towards a hidden cop. It can cause road rage if you forget to turn it off in

trafc. It is often a term of “endearment” when it is cold outside (see “Highbeams” in

UrbanDictionary.com). Now its name represents one of the coolest LED par cans on

the planet. Now that you’ve got your HighBeam™ (or HighBeams

remember High-

Beams are more useful in pairs that’s why cars have two)

, you should carefully unpack

the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condi-

tion. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immedi-

ately 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! . All xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground

(Earthing).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to

help, honest.

3. SETUP

Fuse Replacement

CAUTION! The HighBeam™ utilizes a high-output switch-mode power

supply with an internal fuse. Under normal operating conditions, the

fuse should not require replacement. The fuse is eld replaceable,

however it is an advanced procedure suited to qualied individuals.

Should your HighBeam™ fuse require replacement, please contact Bliz-

zard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for service.

Connecting A Bunch of HighBeam™ 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 high quality data cables (may I

recommend Cool Cables). You should use data-grade cables that can

carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic inter-

ference

(Cough did I mention Cool Cables?)

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 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 connec-

tor (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 xutres 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.

4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

The Control Panel

All the goodies and different modes possible with the HighBeam™

LED are accessed by using the control panel on the rear of the xture.

There are 4 control buttons below the LED display which allow you to

navigate through the various control panel menus.

<MENU>

Is used to navigate to the previous higher-level menu item.

<UP>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in ascending order.

<DOWN>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.

<ENTER>

Is used to select and conrm/store the current selection.

The Control Panel LED Display shows the menu items you select from

the menu map on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the

display will show immediately the rst available option for the selected

menu function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.

Press the <MENU> button repeatedly until you reach the desired

menu function. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the

menu options. Press the <ENTER> button to select the menu function

currently displayed, or to enable a menu option. To return to the previ-

ous option or menu without changing the value, press the

<MENU> button.
