Please read these instructions carefully. It includes important information
about the ins tallation, usag e and m aintenance of this pr od uc t.

• Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another
user, be sure that they also receive this instruction booklet.

• Always m ak e sure that you are c onn ecting to th e pr oper volt ag e, and th at th e line
voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or r ear panel
of the fixture.

• This product is inten d ed f or in d oor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not
expose fixture to rain or moisture.

• Make sur e th er e ar e no f l am m abl e m ater i als cl ose to the unit whil e operati ng .

• The unit mus t be install ed i n a location with adequate ven t i l ation, at least 20 in (5 0c m)

from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

• Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing fuse and be sure to
replace with same fuse source.

• Secure fixture to fastening d evice using a s af et y ch ai n.

• Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104°F (40°C). Do not op erate f ixtur e at

temperatures higher than this.

• In the event of a s er i ous op erating pr oblem, stop us i ng t h e uni t im m ediatel y. Never try

Fuse Replacement

This fixture is auto-ranging and runs on 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 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
indicates its average current draw under normal conditions.

Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat
(variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only
as a 0 to 100% swit c h.

Always conne ct the fixt ure to a circuit wi th a suit abl e el ectri ca l ground.

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse.

Always replace with the same type & rating fuse!

1. With a flat head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing.

2. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse.

3. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair

Nomina l imp edance: 100 ~ 140 o hms

There ar e 512 ch ann els in a DMX connection. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 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
controll able fixtures and th ey al l m ay v ar y in t he total number of channels required. Choosing a
start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. I f 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
intend ed r es ul t is th at of un ison movement or oper at i on . In ot h er w ords, the fi xtu res will all
respond exactly the same.

DMX fixtures are de si gned to receive data through a 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 f i xtures are conn ec ted is not important an d h as n o effect on how a c ontroller
communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.
Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair DM X d at a cable with three pin XLR
male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) an d

You will need a daisy chain to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller or t o
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combin ed nu mb er of ch an n els r equ ired by all th e fi xtures on a daisy chain determines the number
of fix tures the data link can support.

To comply with the EIA-485 standard, do not connect more than 32 fixtures on one daisy
chain. Conne ctin g more than 32 fixtures on on e dai sy chain without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommen de d number of f ixtu r es on a daisy chain: 32

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.

Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485
applic ati ons . Stand ard mic rophone cables c ann ot t r ans m it DM X d at a reliably ov er lon g dis t ances.
The cable must have the following characteristics:

Maximum capacitance between conductors: 30 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance: 20 ohms/1000 ft

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a
start address from 1~512. A fi xt ure requiri ng one or mor e channels for control begins to read the
data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses six DMX
channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,
101, 102, 10 3, 10 4, and 10 5. C hoose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap,
and note the start address selected for future reference.

If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, we suggest jumping
to the “Appendix” section and reading the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful

General Maintenance

Returns Procedure

1) Your name

Claims

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently.
Usage and en vi ronment ar e c ont ri buting factors in det erm in i n g cleaning frequ ency. As a gen er al
rule, fi xtur es sh ould be clean ed at leas t t wice a month. Dus t bu il d up reduces lig ht ou tp ut
performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction in the life of the light source
and mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.

• Unplug fixture from power.

• Use a vacuu m or air c om pr essor and a soft br us h to r em o ve d us t c oll ect ed on extern al

vents.

• Clean all lenses when the fixture is cool 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.

Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.

If the fixture has one or more fans, never spin them using compressed air.

Return ed m erc handis e mus t be s ent pr epaid and in the origin al p ac ki ng; call tags will not b e
issued. Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandize Authorization Number (RMA
#). Products returned without the RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET® and request an RMA #
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 pack fixture properly; any shipping damage
resulting from inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper
UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to us e. CHA U VE T® reserves the right to
use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s).

If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of paper
inside the box:

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 damag e, mus t be made wit hi n s even ( 7) d ays of rec ei vi ng merch andise.
