Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on your purchase of Wink™, your new eye of the storm LED moving head
xture! Now that you’ve got your Wink™ (or hopefully Winks) , 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).
Getting A Hold Of Us
If something is wrong, please just visit our website at www.blizzardlighting.com/
support and open a support ticket. We’ll be happy to help, honest.

Please read these instructions carefully. They include
important information about the installation, usage and
maintenance of this product.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone
else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.
• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that
the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the de-
cal or rear panel of the xture.
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.
• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least
20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked.
• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse
and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.

Fuse Replacement
Wink™ utilizes a high-output switch-mode power supply with an in-
ternal fuse. Under normal operating conditions, it should not require
replacement. Should the fuse require replacement, please contact
Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for service.
Connecting A Bunch of Wink™ 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 mas-
ter/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required
by all the xtures on a serial data link determines the number of x-
tures 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 dis-
tance 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 distanc-
es. 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
Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.
ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.

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
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.

Wink™ User Manual - Rev. A (c) 2017 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
Installation
The xture can be installed on the oor resting on its rubber feet, or mounted
on truss.
● Choose a suitable place to put or hang the equipment when installing. When
hanging the xture, use the included clamp mounting brackets with suitable
clamps to properly support the weight of the xture.
● When installing the equipment, ensure that no ammable or explosive materi-
als are within 1/2 meter distance.
● Please ask professionals to install the equipment. Any improper installation
can cause personal injury or material damage.
● The equipment must be placed in a ventilated area, at least 50 cm from the
ground, and always ensure that the vents are not clogged.
● Mount the xture using suitable type clamps. 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.
WARNING: With the exception of when the xture is positioned on
the oor, a safety cable must always be used. It must be securely xed
to the support structure, and then connected to the xing point on the
bottom of the base.

<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-
