• An Ever-So-Handy Power Cord
• DMX Signal Cable
• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations! You just purchased an awesome, most excellent linear LED wash
xturewith10-40°asymmetricallightingdistribution.Nowthatyou’vegotyourMotif™
Atelier (or hopefully, Ateliers!), 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x-
ture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).

3. SETUP
Fuse Replacement
CAUTION! The Motif™ Atelier 16FX 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Motif™Atelier
16FX fuse require replacement, please contact Blizzard Lighting for instruc-
tions, or to return your unit for service.
Connecting A Bunch of Motif™ Atelier 16FX 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
Please read these instructions carefully. They include
important information about the installation, usage and
maintenance of this product.

Motif™ Atelier 16FX User Manual Rev. A Copyright © 2018 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, it’s no problem! You can simply use the in-
stalled5-pinDMXinputand/oroutputconnectionsfoundonthebackofyourxture(s).
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.

Page 9
Motif™ Atelier 16FX User Manual Rev. A Copyright © 2018 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.

Data Sync Feature:
Users can transfer their custom settings from one xture to another via DMX.
1.)DisconnectxturesfromanyDMXcontrollers,andlinkthemtogetherviaDMXin/out.
2.)Onthesendingxture(DMXout),navigatethemainmenuusingthe<UP/DOWN> buttons
to reach SEND, and press the <ENTER> button.
3.) Select YES, and press the <ENTER> button to begin the transfer.
4.) Information for ADDR (address), CAL (global intensity), or ID (Fixture ID) will not be sent.
5.)Afterthedatahasbeentransferred,thereceivingxturewillbeautomaticallybereset.
Fixture ID Settings:
ID settings give you the ability to assign ID numbers to individual or groups of xtures for quick and easy
DMX control access. This is available in 72/40/24 and 16-channel DMX modes.
1.) Use the <MENU> and <UP/DOWN> buttons to navigate to ID and press <ENTER>.
2.) Now use the <UP/DOWN> buttons to select any ID value you would like to assign to this
xture,andpressthe<ENTER> button to save it.
3.)WhileusingaDMXchannelmodewherextureIDcontrolavailable,youcannowsettheID
Function Slider to a value ranging from 010-020 for “1 ID control per each 1 digit”, ex. 21 =
ID21, 22=ID22, or you can set the ID FUNCTION slider to a value ranging from 021-030 for
“1 ID control per each 10 digit” functionality, ex. 010 <--> 019 = ID1, etc.
4.) Now use the ID Address SlideronyourcontrollertoselectthextureIDnumber(orID
range) setup in steps 1 & 2, while keeping in mind the function method you selected in step 3.
5.)YoushouldnowhaveDMXcontrolofanyxtureswiththisID.
Fixture Information:
These are not editable features, they are for informational purposes only.
1.) Use the <MENU> and <UP/DOWN> buttons to navigate to INFO and press <ENTER>,
then use the <UP/DOWN> buttons to highlight SOFT, TEMP, or POW, and press <ENTER>.
2.) The SOFTinformationdisplaysthecurrentsoftwareversioninstalledonthexture,TEMP
displays the temperature (C) of the LED board, and POWdisplaysthexturescurrentpower
levelsetting.Normally,itwillbeat100%...butthisxturehasbuilt-inoverheatprotectionthat
may automatically reduce the output level to 80%, or 50% in high temperature situations.

5. APPENDIX
A Quick Lesson On DMX
DMX (aka DMX-512) was created in 1986 by the United States Institute for Theatre
Technology (USITT) as a standardized method for connecting lighting consoles to lighting
dimmermodules.Itwasrevisedin1990andagainin2000toallowmoreexibility.The
Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) has since assumed control over
the DMX512 standard. It has also been approved and recognized for ANSI standard clas-
sication.
DMX covers (and is an abbreviation for) Digital MultipleXed signals. It is the most common
communications standard used by lighting and related stage equipment.
DMX provides up to 512 control “channels” per data link. Each of these channels was origi-
nally intended to control lamp dimmer levels. You can think of it as 512 faders on a lighting
console, connected to 512 light bulbs. Each slider’s position is sent over the data link as an
8-bit number having a value between 0 and 255. The value 0 corresponds to the light bulb
beingcompletelyowhile255correspondstothelightbulbbeingfullyon.
DMX data is transmitted at 250,000 bits per second using the RS-485 transmission stan-
dard over two wires. As with microphone cables, a grounded cable shield is used to prevent
interference with other signals.
TherearevepinsonaDMXconnector:awireforground(cableshield),twowiresfor
“Primary” communication which goes from a DMX source to a DMX receiver, and two wires
for a “Secondary” communication which goes from a DMX receiver back to a DMX source.
Generally,the“Secondary”channelisnotusedsodataowsonlyfromsourcestoreceiv-
ers. Hence, most of us are most familiar with DMX-512 as being employer over typical
3-pin“miccables,”althoughthisdoesnotconformtothedenedstandard.
DMXisconnectedusingadaisy-chaincongurationwherethesourceconnectstotheinput
oftherstdevice,theoutputoftherstdeviceconnectstotheinputofthenextdevice,
and so on. The standard allows for up to 32 devices on a single DMX link.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Solution
FixtureAuto-ShutO If it is stopped or running slower than normal, the unit may have
shutitselfoduetohighheat.Thisistoprotectthexture
from overheating.
No Light Output Checktoensurextureisoperatingundercorrectmode,IE
auto/DMX/Etc., if applicable.
Chase Speed Too
Fast/Slow
Check to ensure proper setup of speed adjustment.
No Power Check AC cord and circuit for malfunction.
Fixture Not Respond-
ing / Responding
Erratically
Make sure all connectors are seated properly and securely.
Use Only DMX Cables and/or check cables for defects
Install a Terminator.
