Safety Instructions

Please read these instructions carefully, which includes important
information about the installation, usage and maintenance of this
product.

• Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that
they also receive this instruction booklet.

• Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the line voltage you are
connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the fixture.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm) from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

• Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to
replace with same lamp source.

• Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain. Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use
its carrying handles.

• Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104°F (40°C). Do not operate fixture at temperatures higher
than this.

• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the
unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please
contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.

• Never connect the device to a dimmer pack.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.

• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.

• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.

• Do not daisy chain power to more than 12 units @120volts.

Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or

attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service,
please contact CHAUVET at: 954-929-1115.

Caution! After prolonged periods of operation, the fixture chassis may reach high

temperatures. Use caution when handling this fixture.

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the
acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in
ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest
intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to
50,000 hours will be achieved under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan
expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This
may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity

3. SETUP

AC Power

This fixture has an auto-switching switch-mode power supply that can accommodate a wide range of
input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line
voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate
between 100V and 240V AC 50-60 Hz. 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.

This fixture is designed for power linking from one COLORado™Panel to another COLORado™Panel
fixture. Each fixture ships with IP-66 proprietary power input cables. Each fixture ships with a power
adapter to Male Edison connector.

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

Depending on the application, the lighting fixture may require a different connector Please refer to the
below wire color code if installing a new connector.

Fixture Linking

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 in one single line.

Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
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.

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.

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:

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.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Control Options

The COLORado™ Panel is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control form,
this allows for the control of up to 56 fixtures in the 9-channel Stage1 personality; however, a
secondary “ID” address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and architectural
environments. The “ID” address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same
DMX address; in effect, multiplying the control of COLORado’s™ within a single universe to 3,696
fixtures. The COLORado’s™ “ID” address system is accessed using DMX channel 9 [Stage 1].
Consideration must be placed when programming live performances or cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line. So, to remain within one second execution time, program no greater than
10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel.

COLORado ™ Control Quick Setup

For detailed instructions on display panel operations and functions please advance to the section
titled; “Display Panel Functions”. These steps assume that you have read and are familiar with
setting up a DMX serial data link.

DMX-512 control without “ID” address

The COLORado™Panel operates on 9 channels of DMX (“STAGE1” personality). Address each
fixture in increments of 9 channels. (I.e. 1,10,19,28, etc…) To save time you can use the same DMX
address for each fixture. All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may also group
your fixtures and address those groups alike for faster programming and control.

1. Access the control panel function by pressing the (MENU) button until the {RUN MODE} is

displayed.

2. Press (SET) and use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to select {DMX} function.

3. Then, Press (MENU) button until {DMX512 ADDRESS} is displayed.

4. Pres the (SET) button.

6. Use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to increase or decrease channels between 001 and 512.

7. Press the (SET) button to confirm action. Then press (MENU) to exit.

Deactivate ID addressing in each fixture by setting panel function {ID ON/OFF} to OFF.
{MENU} Â {SETTINGS} Â {ID ON/OFF} Â [OFF]

Notes: If ID addressing is not deactivated in the fixture’s control panel function,

unintended results may occur if values are present in channel 9. Make
sure values on channel 9 are set to “0”.

other words, ogether 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

hich 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

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.

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.

timum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
nt are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should

least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause

maintenance.

Clean the fixture regularly to avoid any such failure. This fixture is convection
cooled, which means that if the surface is kept clean and free of debris, then
proper cooling will be allowed to occur

red, green, or blue in a single module will no longer illuminate. This does not
mean that all of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.

single LED which has failed will no longer function. This does not mean that all
of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.

-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be
purchased directly from Chauvet Part#: P222-CPNLLED

Check that the lens assembly is installed properly. If the lens assembly is not
aligned properly over the LEDs, then they will not project fully
