Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the
Manual
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.
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.
line voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

3. SETUP

Lamp

You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. A 150W HTI lamp is included.
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 Replacement

1) Remove the four screws indicated in Figure A to access the lamp.
2) Hold the lamp with a lint-free cloth, and pull the lamp directly socket as shown in Figure B.
Note: One lead of the lamp is larger than
the o
ther. Make sure the large lead goes in the large socket. If the lamp won’t insert into the socket, try turning it around and reinserting it.
3) Hold the new lamp with a lint-free cloth, and insert directly socket.
4) Reinsert the lamp housing into the fixture, an removed in step 1.
Note: The lamp may need to be aligned. If
so, follo procedures on the following page.

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 refered 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.
Lamp alignment screws
1) Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the surface should be white or pastel
2) Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position t 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
4) As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, 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.
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 h fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Fixture Linking

COMMO
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
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 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.
DMX DATA CABLE
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will have the following characteristics:
in one single line. To comply with the EIA-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 splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
500 meters (1640 ft.)
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.

to avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to mak the pins are not
grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

5. 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 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 can cause overheating. This can lead to increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air co collected on external vents and internal components.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularl using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully.
y dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt in the unit. Clean with soft cloth
Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is
mpressor and a soft brush to remove dust

Claims

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.
