Unpacking Instructions

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.

AC 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 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.

Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All

fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

What is ILS?

ILS stands for Integrated Lighting System. CHAUVET fixtures with the ILS logo
are equipped with an advanced independent show technology that enables
synchronization across all intelligent lighting fixtures within the group.
Gobos, colors and chases are among the various features that
synchronize. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture in the chain will
automatically address fixtures that follow. In conjunction with the ILS­CON controller, ILS fixtures are also addressed remotely by the controller
further reducing the time to setup prior to a show.
In short, CHAUVET’s ILS fixtures give the user the power and the speed
to perform efficiently and effectively in the shortest possible time.

SETUP

Lamp

You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. A MSD250 high intensity discharge
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 INSTALLATION

1) Remove both thumbscrews located on the bottom of the
fixture.

2) Pull out lamp socket plate as pictured to the right.

3) If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first.

4) Holding the new lamp by its base, align the small pin on the
lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp
squarely until the retaining clips on the lamp socket secures
the lamp tightly.

5) Clean the glass/envelope of the bulb with an alcohol wipe
or equivalent.

6) Holding the lamp socket plate, insert the tip of the lamp into
the fixture with extreme care. Navigate the lamp all the way
until it reaches the reflector and the lamp base plate
touches the bottom plate of the fixture.

7) Align the screw holes and fasten the thumbscrews back
onto the lamp socket plate.

8) If you are replacing the lamp, you may want to log the
fixture hours in order to track the lamps use. Navigate to the
{FhrS} on the menu display to obtain this information.

9) Turn the fixture on and adjust the lamp alignment screws
until the brightest most even area of the beam is in the
center of your spot. It may be necessary for you to use a
controller in order to command the fixture to display a white
beam on a flat surface with no gobos or colors.

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

Note!

Lamp Alignment

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 referred
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.

1) Project a white spot against any flat
surface. Preferably the surface should be
white or pastel in color.

2) Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to
position the hot spot in the center of the
beam as best 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 down within the reflector.

4) As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either get wider
or 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.

Connection

should take no more than 20 seconds and it is necessary for the fixture to operate correctly. During this
time you will hear motor and mechanical movement inside the fixture. After this initial power-up sequence,
if the fixture receives no DMX signal, it will enter into a stand alone mode. Be sure to power up your DMX
controller device before the lighting fixture to avoid unwanted auto mode operation.

Operating Modes

All models can be operated in three different ways.

 A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs.
 Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized

light show to the sound.

 DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be

controlled individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.

STAND ALONE

The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of DMX signal or a controller is
not connected. All models will run through their built in programs as they listen to the sound.

MASTER/SLAVE

The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link multiple units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first
unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. The ILS system provides for the
synchronization of all CHAUVET products whose model number is pre-fixed by the letters ILS.
Master/Slave operation does not require any menu or setting selections. Simply connect each fixture in a
daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables as described below. The first unit in the chain will
operate in a Stand/Alone mode and all units following will synchronize to the first unit.

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 as illustrated
below in “Daisy Chain Connection”.

DMX MODE

Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a
wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are
endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently.

Menu Functions

DMX-512 addressing {Addr}

This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address"
from 1 to 511. 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 6 channels of DMX and was
addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and

ILS-606 & ILS-625 User Manual 9 2005-03-09/22:45

Operating Instructions

105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate the start address

selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping to
the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help
you understand its use.

When calculating the next starting address for a particular fixture, simply add
the number of channels used by the last fixture to the starting address of the
last fixture. The result is the starting address of the next fixture.
Example:
Fixture # 1 Uses 7 Channels, Set to DMX 001
Add 7 to the previous start address 007 +
Fixture # 2 Uses 6 Channels, Set to DMX 008 Total
Add 6 to the previous start address 006 +
Fixture # 3 Uses 4 Channels, set to DMX 014 Total

Caution! Some controllers are factory configured to control a specific range of channels per

fixture. For example, you may have a controller pre-set to control 10 channels per
fixture for a total of 12 fixtures. In this case you would be required to separate all
fixtures in 10 channel increments instead of the true number of channels your
particular fixture utilizes.

SETTING THE STARTING ADDRESS

1) Press the MENU button until the display reads {Addr}.

2) Press the ENTER button to select DMX addressing. Once selected the display will read either a 1 or
any other number that may have previously been set. You must make a selection within 6 seconds.

3) Press the UP and DOWN buttons to increase or decrease values until the desired value is achieved.

4) Press the ENTER button to activate selection.

Master/Slave settings {SLNd}  {SL 1}  {SL 2}

By linking the units under a master/slave control mode, the first unit can direct additional units to create a
sound activated, synchronized light show. This is very useful for mobile DJs who want to setup and run a
show quickly.
In this mode the fixture is assigned a master status and is indicated by the MASTER LED. If the fixture is
not connected to a controller then it will automatically enter a sound activated state. You can adjust the
microphone sensitivity pot on the fixture for optimum sound recognition. Any other units connected will
automatically be assigned to {SL 1} mode, which is the standard Slave mode providing unison
synchronized movements and gobo-color changes.

SETTING THE ALTERNATE SLAVE MODE {SL 2}

Unlike {SL 1}, {SL 2} enhances the pre-programmed shows by contrasting the movements. Once you
select this mode, the fixture will remember it the next time your power up.

1) Tap the MENU button until the display reads {SLNd}.

2) Press the ENTER button to select this function. The selection is confirmed when the display begins to
blink. You must make a selection within 8 seconds.

3) Press the UP and DOWN buttons to toggle between the Slave Shows available. Note! There are 4
shows available in Model # ILS-625DCR and 2 shows in the rest.

4) Press the ENTER button to activate selection.

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’)

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. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil and dirt can cause damage and
premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or becomes dirty, clean the lamps with
an alcohol wipe.
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

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 RA # 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.

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.
