3. SETUP Fuse Replacement With a flat head screwdriver, wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power. Connecting A Bunch of The Puck 3: Unplugged™ Flat LED PAR Cans You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512 controller or to run shows on two or more fixtures set to sync in master/slave operating mode.
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 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.
Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode) 1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture. 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
USING THIS FIXTURE WITH THE wiCICLE® WIRELESS DMX SYSTEM In addition to the unbridled thrill you already received the first time you plugged in your fixture, you’ll be delighted to know that This fixture also works seamlessly with our wiCICLE® Wireless DMX system, without additional power. • ONLY fixtures bearing this logo are certified for use with the wiCICLE® without external power. • Unauthorized modification and/or using the wiCICLE® with unapproved fixtures may cause damage to the wiCICLE® or fixture.
Each wiCICLE® acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, depending on whether a DMX source is applied to the integral XLR connector. This is an extremely powerful feature of the system, however, it also requires 1 piece of due dilligence, and that is the removal of extraneous DMX signals from your lighting rig BEFORE proceeding.
4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS Using The Battery System The Puck 3: Unplugged™ features our proprietary intelion™ LithiumIon internal battery system which allows the user to the flexibility to operate their light fixture without AC power for up to 20 hours. The battery system’s built-in microprocessor controls charging and overall battery health, so all you need to do is plug and play. A charge indicator on the back of the fixture turns from RED to GREEN when charging is complete.

Troubleshooting Symptom Solution Fixture AutoShut Off Check the fan in the fixture. If it is stopped or moving slower than normal, the unit may have shut itself off due to high heat. This is to protect the fixture from overheating. Clear the fan of obstructions, or return the unit for service. Beam is Dim Check optical system and clean excess dust/grime. Also ensure that the 220V/110V switch is in the correct position, if applicable.
5. APPENDIX A Quick Lesson On DMX DMX (aka DMX-512) was created in 1986 by the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) as a standardized method for connecting lighting consoles to lighting dimmer modules. It was revised in 1990 and again in 2000 to allow more flexibility. The Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) has since assumed control over the DMX512 standard. It has also been approved and recognized for ANSI standard classification.
Keeping Your Puck 3: Unplugged™ As Good As New 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, like anything, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed. You should absolutely 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.
