please contact CHAUVET at: 954-929-1115.
Caution! After prolonged periods of operation, the fixture chassis may reach high
temperatures. Use caution when handling this fixture.
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the
acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in
ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest
intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to
50,000 hours will be achieved under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan
expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This
may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity

3.SETUP
AC Power
This fixture has an auto-switching switch-mode power supply that can accommodate a wide range of
input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line
voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate
between 100V and 240V AC 50-60 Hz. 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.
This fixture is designed for power linking from one COLORado™ Batten 80i to another COLORado™
Batten 80i fixture. Each fixture ships with Neutrik power input cables (standard Edison male-to-female
6ft A-type Neutrik 3-conductor connector).
Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
Depending on the application, the lighting fixture may require a different connector. Please refer to
the below factory-installed Neutrik twist-lock terminator wire color code if installing a wire connector.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA-
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to
electromagnetic interference.
485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more
than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated spl itter may
result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

4.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control Options
The COLORado™ Batten 80i is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control
form, this allows for the control of 6 fixtures in the full pixel personality with 80 channels each;
however, a secondary “ID” address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and
architectural environments. The “ID” address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures
within the same DMX address. In effect, multiplying the control of COLORado’s™ within a single
universe to 396 fixtures. The COLORado’s™ “ID” address system is accessed using DMX channel
10 [Stage 1 & 2]. Consideration must be placed when programming live performances or cues that
need to trigger on demand or on a time line. So, to remain within one second execution time,
program no greater than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel.
COLORado ™ Control Quick Setup
For detailed instructions on display panel operations and functions please advance to the section
titled; “Display Panel Functions”. These steps assume that you have read and are familiar with
setting up a DMX serial data link.
DMX-512 control without “ID” address
The COLORado™ Batten 80i operates on 10 channels of DMX (“STAGE1” personality). Address
each fixture in increments of 10 channels. (I.e. 1,11,22,33 etc…) To save time you can use the
same DMX address for each fixture. All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may
also group your fixtures and address those groups alike for faster programming and control.
2) 1. Access the control panel’s {DMX512 address} function by pressing the (UP/DOWN)
buttons until the function is displayed
3) 2. Press the (ENTER) button to enter panel function.
4) 3. Use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to increase or decrease channels between 001 and 512.
5) 4. Press the (ENTER) button to confirm action.
6) Deactivate ID addressing in each fixture by setting panel function {ID ON/OFF} to OFF.
{MENU} Â {Settings} Â {ID ON/OFF} Â[OFF]
Notes: If ID addressing is not deactivated in the fixture’s control panel function, unintended results
may occur if values are present in channel 10. Make sure values on channel 10 are set to “0”.

The figure above shows a simple DMX layout which has used three units at each
MX 512 Controller
DMX address. The three units have different ID addresses which allows the user to
collectively control the whole group of units at that DMX address by setting Channel
10 to 0, or to control each unit independently by first selecting the DMX address and
then by using Channel 10 to locate the target ID address. (Note that when using ID
addresses it is also possible to activate ADAS which allows for even more option with
DMX addressing and control.

Setting the DMX address
Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture
that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would
read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the
channels used do not overlap and note the start address selected for future reference. The
COLORado™ 6 uses up to12 channels of DMX. If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend
reading the DMX Primer in the Appendix Section.

APPENDIX
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’)

General 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.
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
Claims
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 RMA # 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.
Note: If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of
paper inside the box:
1) Your name
2) Your address
3) Your phone number
4) The RMA #
5) A brief description of the symptoms
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other
claim for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed
damage, must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.

If you still have a problem after trying the above solutions, please contact CHAUVET
Technical Support at the location on page 39.
Clean the fixture regularly to avoid any such failure. This fixture is convection
cooled, which means that if the surface is kept clean and free of debris, then
proper cooling will be allowed to occur
An LED may have failed, resulting in an open circuit. In this event, all of the
red, green, or blue in a single module will no longer illuminate. This does not
mean that all of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.
An LED may have failed, resulting in a short circuit. In this event, only the
single LED which has failed will no longer function. This does not mean that all
of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be
purchased directly from Chauvet Part#: P222-80ILED
Check that the lens assembly is installed properly. If the lens assembly is not
aligned properly over the LEDs, then they will not project fully
-See section on Lens Assembly Installation
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be
purchased directly from Chauvet Part#: P222-80ILED
The COLORado™ Batten 80i features a thermal protection that will be
implemented in the event of over-heating. This can occur if the fixture in not in
an ideal location for the forced convection cooling to be effective
Check device’s fuse (internal)
Check for power on Mains
Check cable connections The COLORado™ Batten 80i Neutrik cables must
be firmly connected and locked in place(by turning clock-wise) for operation
Check for manual power off from the display by pressing and holding down the
{ENTER} button for more than 3 seconds
-Note: In the event of autoswitching transformer failure, the unit can be sent in
for repair; however, a replacement part can be ordered directly from Chauvet
Part#: P140-80IELTR
Check polarity switch settings on the controller
Check cable connections
Call service technician
-Note: In the event of Master PCB failure, a replacement PCB can be ordered
directly from Chauvet Part#: P170-80IPCB
Use only DMX cables
Install terminator
