Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting controller. We are confident you will
enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we have
prepared this short guide.

Operation

This lighting controller has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz or
230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage. Check the
label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.

The 1,200 watt unit has been designed to handle a maximum load of 20 pieces of 12ft. ropelight or 15
pieces of 16ft. ropelight or 80ft. of belt lights using 7-watt bulbs. Simply plug the ropelight or belt light
into the ropelight / belt light connector and plug power cable into the mains power supply. If desired,
utilize the four AC outlets on the rear of the unit to operate Par Cans, Pin Spots, Mini Moons and more.
Each of these outlets is responsive to all of the functions of the unit. Maximum load per AC outlet is
300 watts.

When connected to the mains power supply the ropelight or belt light or lights plugged into the AC
outlets should illuminate. This unit provides five modes of operation accessible via the functions dial
(fig. 1). The five modes are as follows: chase to sound, chase, flash, all on and 16 patterns auto.
Turn the functions dial to switch between modes. Adjust the speed control and sound sensitivity dial
(on front of unit) to desired level. Switch between modes to create ever-changing patterns and effects.

Installation / Mounting

This unit has been designed to be hung. It is recommended that, for safety purposes, your lighting
effect be properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable. CHAUVET offers a range
of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.

Cleaning

The body of the unit may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. We recommend internal cleaning be
carried out by a fully qualified technician.

Replacing Fuses

If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power i.e. items plugged into the unit do
not operate. Then it is likely that the internal fuse has blown.
Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace fuse.

In order to replace the internal fuse, disconnect from the main power supply and unscrew four screws
that hold the unit housing in place. Remove the housing cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label
attached which indicates the correct fuse rating or you may refer to the portion this guide labeled
Technical Specifications. It is most important that replacement fuses are of correct rating. Failure to
use the correct fuse could damage the unit beyond economic repair.

The fuse should simply be placed inside the fuseholder and housing cover replaced. Reconnect to
main power.

Maintenance & Servicing

Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers with the
exception to change the internal fuse is considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under
any such agreement unless authorized first by CHAUVET.

Troubleshooting

• If the unit is not functional - check main power supply is ‘on’ and ropelight or belt light is securely
attached to the proper connector. If using AC outlets, check that units are securely plugged in.

• If unit is not functional - check internal fuse.

• If lights do not move - adjust speed control dial to higher level for sound sensitivity.

If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact CHAUVET.

Power Connections

The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage and destination. Should any other
connections be required they must be carried out with the following configuration.

Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable

In the USA & Europe, it is required that all plugs are 3-pin type i.e. with Earth/Ground connection.
In the UK, it is required that all mains plugs are fitted with 13A fuses.
