All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this product.
Personal Safety
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.
• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.
Mounting and Rigging
• The product is intended for professional use only.
• This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this product to
rain or moisture. (IP20)
• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g., cold truck to
warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid
causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting
it to power.
• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces.
• The product should be positioned so that prolonged staring into it at a distance closer than 2.3 m is
not expected.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while it is operating.
• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
• Never carry the product by the power cord.
Power and Wiring
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
• Ensure that the product is connected to the proper voltage in accordance with the specifications in
this manual or on the product’s specification label.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely
disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
• Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.
• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.
• If the external flexible cable or cord of this product is damaged, it shall be replaced with a special
cable or cord exclusively available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.
Expected LED Lifespan
Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than
single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is
40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit
the overall intensity.

Setup
3. Setup
AC Power
The Maverick Force s Profile has an auto-ranging power supply, and it can work with an input voltage
range of 100 to 240 V~, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (e.g., circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the
current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel or refer to the product’s specifications
chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Power Linking
It is possible to link up to 2 Maverick Force s Profile products at 100 V, 2 products at 120 V, 5 products at
208 V, 4 products at 230 V, or 5 products at 240 V. Never exceed this number. Power-linking cords can be
purchased separately.
AC Plug
The Maverick Force s Profile comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon IP65
connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came
with the product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire the new plug
.
Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color
AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse, and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (F 10 A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Maverick Force s Profile supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
USB Software Update
The Maverick Force s Profile allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. To
update the software using the USB flash drive, do the following:
1. Power on the fixture and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed.
Press <ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software
in the Menu (Updated Firmware). A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message “Are you sure?” will be displayed. Press
<ENTER>.
4. If the selected file is correct, the update will be completed. Restart fixture.
If the selected file is incorrect, the update will fail, and the display will go back to the main
interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
The .chl format file needs to be placed in the MAVERICK folder in the USB flash drive.
