clusters, LEDs exhi bit higher operati ng temperatures than in i deal , single-LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under nor mal conditi ons, this lifespan can be 40,000 t o 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the
ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature
operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to
extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

or Custom

You can link the COLORado™ 1 Quad I P to a DMX cont roll er using a stand ard DM X serial
connection. If using other DMX compati ble products with the COLORado™ 1 Quad IP, you
can control each individually wit h a singl e DMX controller.

The COLORado™ 1 Quad IP uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR,
ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, AR2.D, AR2.S, and HSV DMX modes.

Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
Refer to the Operation chapter to l earn how to conf igure the COLORado™ 1 Quad IP to

work in these modes.
The DMX Values secti on pr ov ides detailed information regarding the DMX modes.

The Master/Slav e mode allows a COLORado™ 1 Quad IP (the “master product”) t o control
one or more COLORado™ 1 Quad IPs (the “ sl ave products”) without a DM X cont r oller. One
COLORado™ 1 Quad IP becomes the m aster product when running an Auto
program, or by being in Sta tic (STAT) mode.

You must confi gure each slave product’s control panel to operate in Slave (SLAV) mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.

If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.

Setup

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/S lave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals fro m the mast er product.

The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.

Product

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product

Maintenance

frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency.

As a rule, clean this product at least twice a m onth. Dust build-up reduces light output
performanc e and can cause ov erheating. This can lead to reduced l ight source life and
increased mechanical wear.

To clean your product :

• Unplug the product from power.

• Wait until the product has cooled.

• Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on

the external vent s and accessible internal components.

• Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or
isopropyl al c ohol.

• Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

• Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.

• Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Technical Information

Always dry the extern al su rf aces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
