Getting It Out Of the Box
Congratulations on purchasing the Motif™ Risplendi 150. Now that you’ve got
your fixture, 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 fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that
the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

The Rear Connections
SETUP
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect the power cord. ALWAYS replace it with the same type and rating.
Fuse Replacement
Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Take out the damaged fuse from its
holder and replace it with exact same type of fuse.
Power Inputs
This fixture comes with a powerCON® TRUE1™ compatible power input and a 3-wire
power terminal block connector located under the “Int. Power In” cover plate
on the rear of the fixture that can be used for hardwiring power.
Depending on which method you use, adjust the external/internal power switch
on the back of the unit to select the proper input source.
Use the table below for reference when using the bare wire:
Connection | Wire (U.S.) | Wire (Europe) | Screw Color |
---|---|---|---|
AC Live | Black | Brown | Yellow or Brass |
AC Neutral | White | Blue | Silver |
AC Ground | Green/Yellow | Green/Yellow | Green |
Connecting the Fixtures
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in one single line. Also,
connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a
DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the signal.
Data/DMX Cabling
To link fixtures together you’ll need data cables. You should use data-grade
cables that can carry a high-quality signal.
The data 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
Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on
the other end. (Duh!)
A Word on Termination:
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however, errors still occasionally
occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include
the use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems
with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a
terminator may help improve performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator:
Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the
last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
CAUTION : Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s
chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture
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 |
Data 2+ (Optional) | — | Pin 5 – Do Not Use |
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 first fixture’s male connector (input).
Note : It doesn’t matter which fixture address is the first one connected. We recommend connecting the fixtures in terms of their proximity to the controller, rather than connecting the lowest fixture number first, and so on. -
Step 3 : Connect other fixtures in the chain from output to input as above. Place a DMX terminator on the output of the final fixture to ensure best communication.
Changing the Lenses
- This fixture comes with a pre-installed 80° diffuser lens plus 3x replaceable Fresnel lenses (30°, 45°, and 60°) for a variety of beam angles.
- To change the lens, remove the thumbscrew from the lens holder and swivel the holder outwards. Replace the existing lens with the lens of your choice.
Note : The replaceable lenses need to be installed with the circular pattern side of the lens facing outwards.
*When using lenses with narrower beam angles, some chromatic aberration
(color separation) may occur. We recommend using the snoot accessory (sold
separately) to cut off the beam edge. This may help in certain circumstances.
Installing or Removing Brackets
- Install or remove the brackets as shown above us- ing the included bolts, washers, and knobs.
- Use the small bracket for vertically mounted fixed installations. You can remove the large bracket in these types of applications, and use the included plastic plugs to cover the bracket screw holes.
Mounting & Rigging
- This fixture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is enough room for ventilation.
- Mount the fixture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at least 10x the fixture’s weight to ensure structural stability. Do not mount to surfaces of unknown strength, ensure properly rated rigging is used, and always secure your fixtures with a safety cable.
OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
The Control Panel
All of the features and different modes possible with this fixture are
accessed by using the control panel on the front of the fixture. There are 4
control but-tons next to the menu display which allow you to navigate through
the various control panel menus.
-
< MENU>

The control panel display shows the menu items you select from the menu map on
page #11. When a menu function is selected, the display will show immedi-ately
the first available option for the selected menu function. To select a menu
item, press
Use the
- The fixture 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. That said, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed. You should keep the fixture 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 fixture running cool and prevent damage from overheating.
- In transit, keep the fixtures 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 fixtures.
- Common sense and taking care of your fixtures 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 client’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 find yourself with a fixture that isn’t behaving like a good little fixture 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 fixture for transit, and whenever possible, use the original box & packing for shipping.
When returning your fixture for service, be sure to include the following:
- Your contact information (Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address).
- The RA# issued to you
- A brief description of the problem/symptoms.
- We will, at our discretion, repair or replace the fixture. 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.
