Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. If improving your lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of Stage Blinders on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of Stage Blinders on a power link @110V: 3 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of Stage Blinders on a power link @240V: 6 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

stand-alone mode.
Control Panel

Fig. 05
Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it, the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the first channel from which the Stage Blinder will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 16 channels.
When using multiple Stage Blinders, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Stage Blinder should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Stage Blinder should be 1+16=17 (017); the DMX address of the third Stage Blinder should be 17+16=33
(033), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Stage
Blinder correctly. If two or more Stage Blinders are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Stage Blinder fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Stage Blinder will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX input, the problem may be:
● The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Stage Blinder.
● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 30 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, SET, UP or DOWN button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Stage Blinder 4 Blaze
Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Stage Blinder 4 Blaze requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output very quickly.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Troubleshooting
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the LEDs or the internal fuse.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the Stage Blinder to your Showtec dealer.
03) The internal fuse. Return the Stage Blinder to your Showtec dealer.
04) If all appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Stage Blinder , as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.

Problem
One or more fixtures do not function at all
Fixtures reset correctly, but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller
Fixtures reset correctly, but some respond erratically or not at all to the controller
No light or LEDs cut out intermittently
Probable cause(s)
No power to the fixture
Internal fuse blown
The controller is not connected
3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match XLR Out of the first fixture on the link (i.e. signal is reversed)
Remedy
● Check if power is switched on and cables are plugged in
● Return the device to your Showtec dealer
● Connect controller
● Install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link
Poor data quality
Bad data link connection
● Check data quality. If much lower than
100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cables, missing termination
● plug, or a defective fixture disturbing the link
Inspect connections and cables.
●
Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables
Insert termination plug in output jack of the last fixture on the link
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures ● Check address setting
● Bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained: unplug
One of the fixtures is defective and disturbs data transmission on the link both connectors and connect them directly together
● Have the defective fixture serviced by a qualified technician
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed)
Fixture is too hot
LEDs damaged
The power supply settings do not match local AC voltage and frequency
● Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and
3 in the fixture, that behaves erratically
● Allow the fixture to cool down
● Clean the fans
● Make sure air vents are not blocked
● Turn up the air conditioning
● Disconnect fixture and return to your dealer
● Disconnect fixture. Check settings and correct if necessary
