1. GETTING STARTED
What’s In The Box?
• 1 x Blok 2™ Professional LED Fixture
• An Ever-So-Handy Power Cord
• One Really Classy DMX Cable
• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing the Blok 2™, the rock-solid dual LED RGBW+UV wash
xture that is about to make your lights outta’ sight! Now that you’ve got your Blok
2™ (or hopefully, 2’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 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! 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
CAUTION! The Blok 2™ 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 xture require replace-
ment, please contact Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for
service.
Connecting A Bunch of Blok 2™ 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 master/slave operating
mode. The combined number of channels required by all the xtures on a serial
data link determines the number of xtures the data link can support.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also, con-
necting 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 applica-
tions. 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
Setting the DMX Input Connector as the Active DMX Input
Navigate the main menu to reach SET, press <ENTER>, then use the <UP/
DOWN> buttons until SIGN is displayed, then press <ENTER> again. Now
use the <UP/DOWN> buttons to highlight CABL (cable mode), and press
<ENTER> to conrm.

Page 9
Blok 2™ User Manual Rev. A © 2016 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
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:
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 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 10
Blok 2™ User Manual Rev. A © 2016 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
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 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.

Using the AnyFi™ Wireless DMX Receiver
In addition to the unbridled thrill you already received the rst time you turned on your
xture, you’ll be delighted to know that your Blok 2™ is equipped to work seamlessly with our
own Skywire™ 2.4GHz wireless DMX products, as well as W-DMX™
wireless products. W-DMX™ is a two-time award winning wireless
DMX technology, which was created and is owned by Wireless
Solution Sweden AB.
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).
So rst, 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™.
