Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on getting the LB Hex™ Unplugged, the optimum solution for get-
tingridofallthosemessycablesisnallyhere.Whew!Nowthatyou’vegotyourLB
Hex™ Unplugged (or hopefully, Unpluggeds!), 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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).

Fuse Replacement
LB Hex™ Unplugged utilizes a high-output switch-mode power supply with an
internal fuse. Under normal operating conditions, it should not require replace-
ment. Should the fuse require replacement, please contact us for instructions,
or to return your unit for service.
Connecting A Bunch of LB Hex™ Unplugged 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 applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but note
that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distances.
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. 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
Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.
ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.
3. SETUP

Page 9
LB Hex™ Unplugged Manual Rev. A © 2018 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
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.
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.
Mounting & Rigging
• ThisxturemaybemountedinanySAFEpositionprovidedthereisenough
room for ventilation.
• 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stability.
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.
• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.
•Nevermountinplaceswherethexturewillbeexposedtorain,highhumid-
ity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

5. APPENDIX
Keeping Your LB Hex™ Unplugged As Good As New
Thextureyou’vereceivedisarugged,toughpieceofprolightingequipment,
and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. That said, like
anything, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed.
Youshouldabsolutelykeepthextureclean,especiallyifyouareusingitinan
environment with a lot of dust, fog, haze, wild animals, wild teenagers or spilled
drinks.
Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable glass cleaner will greatly improve
the quality of light output. Keeping the fans free of dust and debris will keep
thexturerunningcoolandpreventdamagefromoverheating.
Intransit,keepthexturesincases.Youwouldn’tthrowaprizedguitar,
drumset, or other piece of expensive gear into a gear trailer without a case, and
similarly,youshouldn’teventhinkaboutdoingitwithyourshinynewxtures.
Commonsenseandtakingcareofyourxtureswillbethesinglebiggestthing
you can do to keep them running at peak performance and let you worry about
designing a great light show, putting on a great concert, or maximizing your
client’s satisfaction and “wow factor.” That’s what it’s all about, after all!
Returns (Gasp!)
We’ve taken a lot of precautions to make sure you never even have to worry
about sending a defective unit back, or sending a unit in for service. But,
like any complex piece of equipment designed and built by humans, once in a
while,somethingdoesn’tgoasplanned.Ifyoundyourselfwithaxturethat
isn’tbehavinglikeagoodlittlextureshould,you’llneedtoobtainaReturn
Authorization (RA).
Don’t worry, this is easy. Just go to our website and open a support ticket at
www.blizzardlighting.com/support, and we’ll issue you an RA. Then, you’ll need
to send the unit to us using a trackable, pre-paid freight method. We suggest
usingUSPSPriorityorUPS.Makesureyoucarefullypackthexturefortransit,
and whenever possible, use the original box & packing for shipping.
Whenreturningyourxtureforservice,besuretoincludethefollowing:
1.) Your contact information (Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address).
2.) The RA# issued to you
3.) A brief description of the problem/symptoms.
Wewill,atourdiscretion,repairorreplacethexture.Pleaseremember
that any shipping damage which occurs in transit to us is the customer’s
responsibility, so pack it well!

must be reported to the carrier immediately upon receipt of the items.
