3. SETUP

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always replace with the same type fuse.

Fuse Replacement

With a flat-head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its hous in g. R em o v e the damaged fuse from its h ol d er and replac e w ith exac t same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Data Linking

You will n eed a serial dat a link to ru n lig ht s hows of one or m ore fixtur es usi ng a D M X-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 fix tures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link m ust be dais y chained in one s ingle line. T o comply w ith the EIA-485
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.) Maximum r ec om m en d ed number of fi xtures on a s eri al d ata link: 32 fixtures
inside this compartment. Remove us i ng a flat
standard no more than 32 devic es s hould be c onnec t ed on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated s plitter m ay result in deterioration of the digital D M X s ignal.

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 pl ease use dat a-gr ade cables t h at c an c ar r y a high quality si gn al an d are less pr on e to electromagnetic interference. If you ar e unfamili ar wit h DMX , d ow nl o ad t h e D M X Pri m er fr om

Master/Slave Linking

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.
and Stan d alone ope r ation requires that the first fixture in the chain be initialized for this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP­switches.

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start address selected for future reference. Set th e st ar t ad dress using the group of DIP switches located usually on b ott om of t h e fi xture. Each dip switc h h as an associ at ed value. Add ing the val u e of eac h s wi tc h in the ON posi ti on w il l provid e the st ar t ad dress. Figuring out which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished by determini ng which switc h val u es will add up t o th e address valu e, an d turning th es e s wi tc h es on . Do so by d oing the foll ow i ng :
1) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the start address. Turn this switch on.
2) Subtract the value of the swit c h y ou jus t turned on from the starting address number.
3) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the remainder from the previous subtraction. Turn this switch on.
4) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the remainder of the previous subtraction.
5) Repeat steps three and four until you have a remainder of zero.

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 incr eased mech a nical wear. Be sure to pow er off fixture before c ond uc t in g m ain tenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collect ed on ext ernal ven ts and internal c om p onents. Clean al l gl ass 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 th e y ar e fr ee of haze and lint .
The clean in g of intern al and extern al op t ical lens es and/ or m irrors mu s t be c arri ed out p eriodically to optimi z e ligh t output. Cl ean i ng f r equency depends on t h e envi ronment in whic h the fixtu re operat es: damp, smoky or p art ic u l ar l y dirty surrou nd ing can cause great er accumu l at i on of dirt on the uni t ’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the pa rts carefully. - Clean the external optic s at leas t e very 20 days . Clean th e int er n al optics at leas t ev ery 30/60 d ays.
