Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing one of the most rocking box-shaped PAR fixtures anywhere! Now that you've got your SkyBox™ EXA (or hopefully, 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 fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All fixtures 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 fixtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the fixture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the fixture or refer to the fixture's specifications chart for more information. A fixture's listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fixture 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 fixture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

3. SETUP
Before replacing a fuse, disconnect power cord. ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.
Fuse Replacement
CAUTION! The SkyBox™ EXA 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 field replaceable, however it is an advanced procedure suited to qualified individuals. Should your Weather System™ fuse require replacement, please contact Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return for service.
Connecting A Bunch of SkyBox 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 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 fixtures 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
Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. (Duh!)
A Word on Termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture 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. | |
| 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 first fixture's male connector (input). Note: It doesn't matter which fixture address is the first one connected. We recommend connecting the fixtures in terms of their proximity to the controller, rather than connecting the lowest fixture number first, and so on.
Step 3: Connect other fixtures in the chain from output to input as above. Place a DMX terminator on the output of the final fixture to ensure best communication.
Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)
- Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture.
- Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
A quick note: Often, the setup for Master-Slave and Standalone operation requires that the first fixture in the chain be initialized for this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP-switches. Secondarily, the fixtures 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 configuration.
Mounting & Rigging
This fixture 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 fixture using a suitable "C" or "O" type clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at least 10x the fixture's weight to ensure structural stability. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly "rated" rigging is used when mounting fixtures overhead.
Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding 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 fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
Using the AnyFi™ Wireless DMX Receiver
In addition to the unbridled thrill you already received the first time you turned on your fixture, you'll be delighted to know that your fixture is equipped to work seamlessly with our own Skywire™ 2.4GHz wireless DMX products, as well as W-DMX™ wireless products.
Skywire™ AnyFi™ wireless DMX products feature 512 auto-assigning frequencies in either 6 or 7 groups allowing multiple systems to run simultaneously in the same space, completely free of interference, with reliable wireless communication for over 1000 feet line-of-sight! Using the W-DMX™ wireless protocol in AnyFi™, you can expect the same outstanding wireless range, very easy setup, and leave any worries behind concerning loss of signal due to its built-in FHSS technology (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).
Universal Wireless DMX
So first, if you would like to use Skywire™ wireless DMX protocol, you will need a wiCICLE® transmitter, Lightcaster™ transceiver, or any Blizzard Lighting controller with this type of built-in wireless transmitter. And if you plan on using W-DMX™ 2.4GHz wireless protocol, you will need a W-DMX™ transceiver to broadcast the signal from your controller, such as our Lightcaster W-DMX™.
Ready to move on? Well alrighty!
IMPORTANT - If you are using Blizzard's Lightcaster Any-Fi wireless transmitter in W-DMX compatibility mode along with DMX control software like our Eclipse DMX or Lucid products, you must set the MAB (Mark After Break) in the software to 30 microseconds ( S) to avoid potential signal timing issues.
