• 1 x Set of Mounting Brackets
• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on your purchase of the Stiletto Beast™, the wonderfully ferocious, mon-
strous LED moving head! Now that you’ve got your Stiletto Beast™ (or hopefully Beasts) ,
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, no-
tify 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).

3. SETUP
Fuse Replacement
Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Then take out the dam-
aged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type of fuse.
Reattach the fuse holder, and then reconnect power.
Connecting A Bunch of Stiletto™ Beast 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

Stiletto Beast™ User Manual - Rev. A (c) 2016 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.

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As-
sociation (ESTA) has since assumed control over the DMX512 standard. It has also been approved and
recognizedforANSIstandardclassication.
DMX covers (and is an abbreviation for) Digital MultipleXed signals. It is the most common communica-
tions 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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 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.
In summary, since its design and evolution in the 1980’s DMX has become the standard for lighting
control.Itisexible,robust,andscalable,anditsabilitytocontroleverythingfromdimmerpacksto
moving lights to foggers to lasers makes it an indispensable tool for any lighting designer or lighting
performer.

Keeping Your Stiletto™ Beast As Good As New
Thextureyou’vereceivedisarugged,toughpieceofprolightingequip-
ment, 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 cli-
ent’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Authori-
zation (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 responsibil-
ity, so pack it well!
