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 your transmitters

transmitter and receiver. NOTE: The color of the SkyBox 5’s status LED DURING operation does
not indicate channel group, instead it indicates whether the unit is transmitting or receiving.
That’s It!
Using the Intelion™ Battery System
The SkyBox™ 5 features our proprietary Intelion™ Lithium-Ion internal battery system which
allows you the flexibility to operate your fixture without AC power for up to 20 hours.
To charge the battery, simply plug the fixture into a power source. The battery will charge weather
the fixture is powered on or off. It will even charge while in use! The built-
in microprocessor of the battery system controls the charge and overall
battery health, so all you need to do is plug and play.
The top section on the LCD display menu shows the battery power level
indicator displays the approximate amount of power remaining in the
battery. Each power level bar equals 20%. When charging, The CHARGE
status LED above the LCD display will illuminate in RED , then turn GREEN
when the charge is complete.
A full charge is obtained after charging for at least 4 hours. The fixture will automatically stop
charging when the battery is in optimal condition.
Power Output Mode:
Depending on the needs of any given application, you can select either High Power, Medium Power,
or Battery Saver Mode, which allows the fixture to run for a longer time at lower output.
a.) Press the
b.) Use the buttons to select H (100%), M (75%) or S (50%).
c.) Press to confirm the setting.
Note: With average usage of color fades in High Output Mode, you can expect the battery life to
last up to 10+ hours, color jumping 5+ hrs, or full on for 3+ hrs. Display color/fade/chase/strobe,
and environmental factors including ambient temperature will all impact battery life.
NOTE: “GROUP” number also
corresponds to the “GROUP” setting
on our LightCaster™ wireless DMX
transceiver, wiCICLE™ transmitter,
and all Blizzard Skywire™ wireless
controllers.
