• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing the TOURnado™ RGBALC. Now that you’ve got your xture,
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 im-
portant 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
This xture utilizes a high-output switch-mode power supply with an internal
fuse. Under normal conditions, the fuse should not require replacement. Should
your xture require fuse replacement, please contact us for instructions.
Connecting A Bunch of TOURnado™ RGBALC 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 a single line. Also, con-
necting more than 32 xtures on one serial data link without the use of an
optically-isolated DMX splitter may result in deterioration of DMX signal. The
maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640 ft).
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
Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.
ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.
3. SETUP

Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connec-
tor on the other end. (Duh!)
To build your own DMX Terminator:
Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the last xture. They are also
readily available from specialty retailers.
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.
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 3-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 3-pin to 5-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) Pin 2 Pin 2
Data 1+ (Primary Data) Pin 3 Pin 3
Data 2- (Optional) -- Pin 4 - Do Not Use

A Word on Termination:
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however
errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal
errors, and therefore best practices include use of a
terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing
problems with erratic xture behavior, especially over
long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve
performance.

Fixture Linking (M/S Mode)
1. Connect the male connector side of the DMX cable to the output female
connector of the rst xture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from
the rst xture which will have a female
connector to the input connector of the next
xture consisting of a male 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. The fan or vent pathway must never be obstructed.
IMPORTANT: Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your xtures,
always be sure to secure your xture with a safety cable.
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 of unknown strength, and ensure properly rated rigging
is used when mounting xtures overhead.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, which includes calculating
working load limits, knowledge of the installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the
installation yourself.

and POW displays the xtures current power level setting. Under normal conditions, 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.

Keeping Your TOURnado™ RGBALC 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. Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable
glass cleaner will greatly improve the quality of light output.
In transit, keep the xtures in cases. 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 concentrate on designing a great light show. 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 visit www.blizzardpro.com/support and open a support
ticket, 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!
Shipping Issues
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper, and must be reported to
the carrier immediately upon receipt of the items. Claims must be made within seven (7)
days of receipt.
