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 ICE 30™eseses 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.
4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS The Control Panel All the goodies and different modes possible with the ICE 30™ are accessed by using the control panel on the front of the fixture. There are 4 control buttons below the LCD display which allow you to navigate through the various control panel menus. Access control panel functions using the four panel buttons located directly underneath the LCD Display. The Control Panel LCD Display shows the menu items you select from the menu map on page #11.
Control Panel Menu Structure Main Function Sub Function Selection What It Does... Address N/A 000 <-> 255 Sets the DMX address Reset N/A Yes Resets the fixture N/A Auto Fast Sets the fixture to Auto Mode - Fast N/A Auto Slow Sets the fixture to Auto Mode - Slow N/A Audio Sets the fixture to Sound Active Mode N/A Slave Sets the fixture as a slave - to follow another fixture set as master.
Additional User Adjustments To restore all settings to their factory defaults: 1) Use the “Load Data” function in the menu (see page 11). Operation Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto): This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller. 1) Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. 2) Choose a unit to function as the Master.
Gobo Replacement 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Remove the gobo cover by removing the two screws on the top of the fixture head. Remove the slot-n-lock gobo from the gobo wheel by lifting up slightly and sliding it out. Using a small tool, pry the tension ring from the gobo holder. Remove the old gobo. Insert the new gobo, and replace in the reverse steps of removal. ICE 30 Manual Rev.

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 ICE 30 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.
