Blizzard Lighting wiCICLE Skywire (Rev A) - Manual (Page 2)

POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS
The diagrams below show possible configurations. Multiple receivers may
be used in any possible configuration.
OPTION 1. A transmitter (MALE XLR CONNECTOR) is connected to the
output of the controller, and a receiver (FEMALE XLR CONNECTOR) is
connected at the input of the first DMX fixture.
OPTION 2. A transmitter (MALE XLR CONNECTOR) is connected to the
output of a DMX fixture, and a receiver (FEMALE XLR CONNECTOR) is
connected to the input of the next DMX fixture.
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 APPLICABLE). Most
fixtures contain a built-in automatic, sound active or custom program which
is designed to operate with the fixture NOT connected to a DMX chain.
Some of these programs will automatically run unless the fixture is set to slave mode.
These fixtures typically sense DMX automatically and switch to DMX mode upon
receiving DMX signal (our Pucks do that!)
Ready to move on? Well alrighty!
1. If you’re using an external wireless DMX transmitter like our wiCICLE® transmitter
or LightCaster® Transceiver, plug it into the “DMX OUT” connector of the controller
and verify it is receiving power. If you are using a DMX controller with a built-in DMX
transmitter like our KONTROL 5 SKYWIRE™, enable the DMX transmitter on that
unit. Please refer to that controller’s user manual for specific instructions on enabling
wireless DMX output.
2. Plug in the wiCICLE ® Skywire to the fixture and verify it is receiving power (the
STATUS LED should illuminate.)
3. Press the CHANNEL SET button to select your desired operating channel group
(this setting will be stored 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 transmitter to select the channel group.
5. The LED on the transmitter will blink RED slowly until communication is
established with the receiver. The status LED on the receiving fixtures will flash
GREEN slowly until communication is established.
6. Once the clearest channel is auto-selected, the status LEDs will blink quickly on
both the transmitter and receiver. NOTE: The color of status LED DURING operation
does not indicate channel group. Instead, like all Blizzard Lighting transmitters and
receivers do, it indicates whether the unit is transmitting or receiving. That’s It!

OPERATION, TIPS & TRICKS
F irst, you’ll either need a Blizzard wiCICLE® transmitter, Lightcaster™ wireless
transceiver, or any Blizzard Lighting controller that has a built-in wireless transmitter
(such as the Kontrol 5 Skywire™) to act as a transmitter for your lights. The 7-color
coded frequencies of the wiCICLE ® Skywire match up perfectly with all Blizzard
wireless DMX products. If you’re using a Blizzard Lighting controller with built-in
wireless DMX transmission (such as the Kontrol 5 Skywire™), please refer to the
instruction manual of that controller for more information.
