Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures 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. Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement. Check the fixture 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 power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

SETUP
Lamp
You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit
to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
LAMP INSTALLATION (ART-150W)
1) Remove the lamp back cover by removing the 4 screws located on rear of the head as illustrated.
2) Remove the 4 corner screws so that you can pull out the lamp socket plate.
3) With lamp socket plate out and the lamp accessible, if replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first .
4) Holding the new lamp by its base, align the small pin on the lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely until the retaining clips on the lamp socket secures the lamp tightly.
5) Clean the glass/envelope of the bulb with an alcohol wipe or equivalent.
6) Holding the lamp socket plate, insert the tip of the lamp into the fixture with extreme care. Navigate the lamp all the way until it reaches the reflector and the lamp base plate touches the bottom plate of the fixture.
7) Align the screw holes and fasten the screws back onto the lamp socket plate.
8) If you are replacing the lamp, you may want to log the fixture hours in order to track the lamps use. Navigate to the {FhrS} on the menu display to obtain this information.
9) Turn the fixture on and adjust the lamp alignment screws until the brightest most even area of the beam is in the center of your spot. It may be necessary for you to use a controller in order to command the fixture to display a white beam. Conversely you can use the {} function from the control panel instead of a controller. Visit the “Lamp Alignement How-To” section in this manual for further reading and tips on the subject.
10) Place the lamp cover back on the fixture and screw on securely.

Data linking is required for synchronized operation as well as DMX controller operation. The Spectrum fixtures are equipped with two 24 AWG data cables that exit the fixture through a cable gland. Both cables are equipped with XLR connectors. The locking 3-pin male is for data input and the 3-pin female is for data output. The “DMX Primer” in the Appendix section details more information about wiring. In short, a 3-pin connector is wired pin-1 to (ground), pin-2 to (signal) and pin-3 to (hot).

Currently, neither the data cables nor the power cable is weather rated. Consider changing these for exterior weather rated equivalents. In addition, follow the same “Safety Precautions” as listed in the section above “Power configuration”.
Lamp Alignment How-To
Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned optimally within the reflector. There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the fixture. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the beam.
1) Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the surface should be white or pastel in color.
2) Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position the hot spot in the center of the beam as best as possible. This could require many attempts on your part. It is advisable to even out the screws prior to lamp alignment as described in the illustration.
3) Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot, do your best to turn all screws equally as to affect movement up or down within the reflector.
4) As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either get wider or narrower. The goal is to either totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread across the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers as much of the beam spot area as possible.
Lamp alignment screws
Even out this plate by turning the lamp alignment screws, prior to lamp optimization. This will provide you a good starting point.

STAND- ALONE
Stand-alone is an independent fixture operating state which basically means without the use of any controlling device. The Spectrum™ Exterior Wash fixtures have 4 internal programs that can be manually selected using the fixture’s Control Panel. Once set, every time the fixture is powered, the program selected will automatically execute. Selecting the program is done using the {ShNd} function in the fixture’s Control Panel. Skip over to “Menu Functions” – “Stand-Alone, Show Selection {ShNd}” for detailed instructions. If you own multiple Spectrum™ fixtures, you can link them together so that they all follow one leader in synchrony called the (master). This operating state is called Master/Slave mode.
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link multiple units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. Master/Slave operation does not require any menu or setting selections. Simply connect each fixture in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables as described below. The first unit in the chain will operate in a Stand-Alone mode and all units following will synchronize to the first unit. You can choose from 4 internal chase programs as described in the next page under “Stand-Alone, Show Selection {ShNd}”.

DMX-512 addressing {Addr}
This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. In the case of the Spectrum™, only 1 channel is necessary. Each fixture can be incrementally numbered.
he following Caution statement refers to Universal DMX Controller devices only.

DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same. DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+). CHAUVET carries 3-pin XLR DMX compliant cables, DMX-10 (33’), DMX-4.5 (15’) and DMX-1.5 (5’)

Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe. The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
Returns Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued. Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use.
