Getting It Out Of The Box
CongratulationsonpurchasingoneofthecoolestLEDxturesanywhere!Nowthat
you’re the proud owner of a Puck Pro Zoom™ EXA (or hopefully, MORE!), 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).
Getting A Hold Of Us

3. SETUP
Fuse Replacement
CAUTION! The Puck Pro Zoom™ EXA 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 Puck Pro Zoom™ EXA fuse require replacement,
please contact Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for
service.
Connecting A Bunch of Puck Pro Zoom™ EXA 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.
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. 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

USING THIS FIXTURE WITH THE wiCICLE® WIRELESS
DMX SYSTEM
In addition to the unbridled thrill you already
receivedthersttimeyoupluggedinyourx-
ture,you’llbedelightedtoknowthatThisx-
ture also works seamlessly with our wiCICLE®
Wireless DMX system, without additional power.
•ONLYxturesbearingthislogoarecertiedforusewiththewiCICLE®
without external power.
• Unauthorized modication and/or using the wiCICLE®with un-
approved xtures may cause damage to the wiCICLE® or xture.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLIZZARD LIGHTING RESPON-
SIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE FROM SUCH OPERATION.
• Fixtures bearing the above logo MUST only use cable and connectors
which separate chassis/case ground from cable shielding. Cabling with
the shield connected to the connector’s case/chassis may cause malfunc-
tion and damage to the wiCICLE®orxture.
• wiCICLE®transmitters have additional power requirements and
thereforecannotbepowereddirectlyfromthexture.Youwill
need to utilize the supplied AC/DC adaptor to drive wiCICLE®
transmitters in your system.

Each wiCICLE®acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, depending on whether a
DMX source is applied to the integral XLR connector. This is an extremely pow-
erful feature of the system, however, it also requires 1 piece of due dilligence,
and that is the removal of extraneous DMX signals from your lighting rig BEFORE
proceeding.
SO: BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU SHOULD DISABLE ANY BUILT-
IN PROGRAMS IN THE FIXTURES YOU WISH TO CONNECT AND/OR SET
THEM AS SLAVES PRIOR TO RETURNING THEM TO DMX MODE (IF APPLI-
CABLE). Most xtures contain a built-in automatic, sound active or cus-
tom program which is designed to operate with the xture NOT connected
to a DMX chain.
Someoftheseprogramswillautomaticallyrununlessthextureissettoslave
mode.ThesexturestypicallysenseDMXautomaticallyandswitchtoDMXmode
upon receiving DMX signal (our Pucks do that!)
If you plug a wiCICLE®“receiver”intoanautosensingxturesetasa“master,
“chances are good that the wiCICLE®“receiver” will begin transmitting the master
program. Most times, this is undesirable, and taking the two seconds to switch
these programs off will solve a lot of ails.
Got that done? Good! Then let’s proceed!
1. Plug the wiCICLE®Receiverintothe“DMXIN”connectorofthextureand
verify it is receiving power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)
2. Connect the AC/DC adaptor to the the wiCICLE®Transmitter and verify it is
receiving power (the STATUS LED should illuminate.)
3. Press the RECESSED SELECTOR BUTTON on the Transmitter to select the
operating channel group. (The system will store this setting for future use)
The 7-Color Status LED will change color to indicate the current channel group:
· GROUP 1: RED
· GROUP 2: GREEN
· GROUP 3: YELLOW
· GROUP 4: BLUE
· GROUP 5: VIOLET
· GROUP 6: CYAN
· GROUP 7: WHITE
4. Follow the same procedure on the Receiver to select the channel group.
5. Once both the transmitter and receiver(s) are both set to the same channel
group,connectthetransmittertotheDMXcontrollerortheDMXoutofaxture
on your DMX chain.
6. Once a DMX signal is provided to the transmitter, the status LED will blink RED
slowly until communication is established with the receiver. The status LED on
thereceiver(s)willashGREEN slowly until communication is established.
7. Once the clearest channel is auto-selected, the status LEDs will blink quickly on
both the transmitter and receiver. NOTE: The color of the LED DURING opera-
tion does not indicate channel group, instead it indicates whether the unit is
transmitting or receiving. That’s It!
NOTE: “GROUP” number also
corresponds to the “GROUP”
setting on our LightCaster™
wireless DMX Transceiver.

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
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 11
The Puck™ Pro Zoom EXA Manual Rev. A Copyright (c) 2014 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
complete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
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.
• 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.

5. APPENDIX
A Quick Lesson On DMX
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
originally 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 off 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
standard 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 receivers. 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.
Each receiving device typically has a means for setting the “starting channel number” that
itwillrespondto.Forexample,iftwo6-channelxturesareused,therstxturemight
be set to start at channel 1 so it would respond to DMX channels 1 through 6, and the next
xturewouldbesettostartatchannel7soitwouldrespondtochannels7through12.

Keeping Your Puck Pro Zoom™ EXA 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 light
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 send an email to [email protected],
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.

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

responsibility, so pack it well!
