Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on your purchase of the Redstone™ 240Z Wash xture, you're a go for
launch! So now that you’ve got your 240Z (or hopefully 240Zs) , 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 imme-
diately 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).
Getting A Hold Of Us
If something is wrong, please just visit our website at www.blizzardpro.com/
support and open a support ticket. We’ll be happy to help, honest.

3. SETUP3. SETUP
Connecting A Bunch of Redstone™ 240Z Wash 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, 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 data cables. You should use data-grade cables that can
carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference. The cables
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 The Built-in W-DMX™
To use the built-in W-DMX™ receiver, you will rst need a W-DMX™ transmitter to
broadcast the signal, such as our own LightCaster™ W-DMX™ transceiver. Paired up with a
LightCaster™ W-DMX™ transceiver, you can expect an outstanding wireless range of up to
500 meters (line-of-sight).
If you’re using an external wireless W-DMX transmitter like our LightCaster™ W-DMX™
transceiver, power it up and plug it into the “DMX OUT” connector of the controller.
* Please refer to your W-DMX™ transmitter user manual for more product specic instructions.
1. One transceiver with multiple receivers:
a.) Power on all units, and verify that your transmitter is transmitting a signal.
b.) On the receiving W-DMX xtures, use the control panel menu to navigate to DMX
> Connect to, then highlight Wireless Only (wireless will also work as a secondary
connection method under the XLR Priority menu selection if an XLR signal is lost.)
c.) Press and hold down the <ENTER> button to sync the xtures.
2. Multiple transceivers, multiple receivers; e.g. 3 groups consisting of a transceiver &
receiver(s) named A, B, and C:
1.) Turn power o of all units.
2.) Group “A” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.
3.) Group “B” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.
4.) Group “C” gets powered on, then follow step 1 above.

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 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
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.

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.
Clamp Mounting
This xture provides a mounting bracket assembly that secures the bottom of the base, the
“Omega Brackets,” and the safety cable rigging point together. When mounting this xture
to truss, be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the omega bracket using an
M10 screw tted through the center hole of the “omega bracket”.

Securing the Fixture
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your xtures always be sure to secure
your xture with a safety cable. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point found on
the underside of the base assembly for the safety cable. Never secure a safety cable to a
carrying handle.

The Control Panel
All the goodies and dierent modes possible with the Redstone 240Z
Wash are accessed by using the control panel on the front of the x-
ture. There are 4 control buttons to the right of the LCD display which
allow you to navigate through the various control panel menus.
<MENU>
Is used to navigate to the previous higher-level menu item.
<ENTER>
Is used to select and conrm/store the current selection.
<UP>
Scrolls through menu items and numbers in ascending order.
<DOWN>
Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.
The control panel display shows the menu items you select from the
menu map on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the dis-
play will show immediately the rst available option for the selected
menu function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.
Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the menu options.
Press the <ENTER> button to select the menu function currently dis-
played, or to enable a menu option. To return to the previous option or
menu without changing the value, press the <MENU> button.
