Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing the Kryo.Morph™, the most far-out moving head in the
galaxy with mind-blowing 3-in-1 beam/spot/wash capabilities! Now that you’ve got your
Kryo.Morph™ (or hopefully, Morphs!) 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 important that the xture be returned in the original factory
box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off 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 specications 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).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• This xture falls under protection class I, this xture must be earthed!
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
• Make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the line voltage you are
connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the xture.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.
• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.
• The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more
than 10 meters (32.8 FT).
• Do not touch the device’s housing bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot).
Allow the xture to cool approximately 20 minutes.
• If the xture has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (e.g. after transporta-
tion), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your
device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and
does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.
• The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat. Fast on-off-
cycles (e.g. 10 min. on/10 min. off) will reduce lamp life.
• Always disconnect the xture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing the
fuses, or any part.
• For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.
• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm)
from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
• ALWAYS secure xture using a safety chain. Use its carrying handles while transporting.
• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).
• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. NEVER try
to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage.
• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.
• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the
housing or attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may
require service, please contact us at www.blizzardlighting.com/support.

3. SETUP
Fuse Replacement
With a phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder out of its
housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with
exact same type of fuse. Reattach the fuse holder, and then reconnect
power.
Connecting A Bunch of Kryo.Morph™ 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 mas-
ter/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required
by all the xtures on a serial data link determines the number of x-
tures the data link can support.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
Also, connecting more than 32 xtures on one serial data link without
the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration
of the digital DMX signal. The maximum recommended cable-run dis-
tance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The maximum recommended number of
xtures on a serial data link is 32 xtures.
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 specications for EIA RS-485
applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but
note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distanc-
es. 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
Page 8
Kryo.Morph™ User Manual - Rev. A (c) 2016 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR
connector on the other end. (Duh!)
CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the x-
ture’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 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3-pin adapter.
They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers 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
DMX Data (-) Pin 2 Pin 2
DMX Data (+) Pin 3 Pin 3

Not Used. No Connection. No Connection.
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 connec-
tor (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.

Kryo.Morph™ User Manual - Rev. A (c) 2016 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)
1. Connect the (male) 3/5-pin connector side of the
DMX cable to the output (female) 3/5-pin connector
of the rst xture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the
rst xture which will have a (female) 3/5-pin con-
nector to the input connector of the next xture
consisting of a (male) 3/5-pin connector. Then, pro-
ceed 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 re-
quire a slave setting.
Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for com-
plete instructions for this type of setup and conguration.
Mounting & Rigging
This xture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is
enough room for ventilation.
It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. 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 sta-
bility. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure
properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting xtures overhead.
Adjust the angle of the xture by loosening both knobs and tilting the
xture. After nding the desired position, retighten both knobs.
• When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp
replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.
• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.
• Never mount in places where the xture will be exposed to rain,
high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

Mounting Points
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, which includes
calculating working load limits, knowledge of the installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material
and the xture. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
Caution!
Please be aware, you should have a qualied electrician performing all
of your electrical connection needs. Better safe than sorry!
Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before
connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
