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.

Figure 1 - AC Voltage Switch

Not all fixtures have a voltage select switch. Please be sure to connect to the proper voltage.

INTRODUCTION

You may notice that both the red and green beams coming out of the projector are larger than the

4.95mW projectors. There is a very distinct reason for this. Unlike 4.95mW projectors the output of the CHAUVET laser projectors with Fatbeam™ technology inside outputs <20mW for each beam. Normally outputs greater than 4.95mW require a variance from the FDA. This product has been designed to meet a special classification of ClassIIIR. Under this classification with the Fatbeam™ technology the acceptable energy levels (AEL) have been met. Therefore the maximum potential exposure to the unaided eye is less than 4.95mW for a static beam. Additionally the (MPE) or Maximum Permissible Exposure with this product is below acceptable levels for human ocular or tissue exposure.

DMX Mode

In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently. The LRG-55 occupies 8 channels of DMX control. For detailed listing of the DMX channel values refer to the Appendix section.

SETTING THE STARTING ADDRESS

This DMX 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 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.

Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the selected start address which does not cause a negative number.

EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS

Address 10

Pin # 4 = 8 Pin # 2 = 2 Total = 10

Address 24

Pin # 5 = 16 Pin # 4 = 8 Total = 24

Resolving address using simple math.

Address 233

ON OFF

233 – (128) = 105, Turn ON Dip # 8 105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip # 7 41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6 9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4 1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1

You will most likely use the first available number which maybe number

1. This number was selected for example purposes.

Operation

Stand-Alone Operation (Sound_Active, Auto Mode):

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

1) Set dipswitches position to Sound Active or Auto Mode.

Mode Dipswitches Sound Active 10 = Off, 11 = Off, 12 = Off Auto Mode 10 = Off, 11 = Off, 12 = On

2) The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active

mode, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

3) Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in

Sound Active.

N: SOUND/AUDIO 2: SOUND/AUTO

Master-Slave Operation (Master_Sound, Master_Auto):

This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without controller.

1) Use standard XLR DMX cable to daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the

rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator on the last fixture.

2) Choose a unit to function as Master mode. Turn dipswitches to the Master position on the unit.

The unit must be first unit in line. Then simply chain the units together using XLR cable. Mode Dipswitches Master Sound 10 = Off, 11 = On, 12 = Off Master Auto 10 = Off, 11 = On, 12 = On

3) Turn switch to the Slave position on the slave units, and they will react the same as the Master.

Universal DMX Control (DMX Mode):

This mode allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control lasers operation and effects.

1) To control your fixture in DMX Mode use standard XLR DMX cable to daisy chain your units

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. For long cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. Mode Dipswitches DMX mode 10 = On, 11 = Off, 12 = On

2) Assign a DMX address to the unit by following the dipswitch chart.

3) Use DMX controller to control your units.

DMX-512

Note! System doesn’t use DMX controller in Master-Slave Mode.

System may not set to two Master units in Master-Slave Mode.

Trouble Shooting

1) If the power supply indicator does not light up and the laser does not work, please check if the

power supply and the corresponding parts have the right input electric current.

2) If it is in stand-alone mode operation, the power supply indicator is lit and the laser is not

working, please check if the operation system is set up in Master/Slave mode.

3) If it is in Master/Slave mode, Slave mode is exceptional, please check as below:

A. Make sure to set up Master mode for just one unit and the others are set in slave mode. B. Make sure to control the unit with DMX controller. C. Make sure to take a good quality power cord and connection.

4) If the unit is in DMX mode, the laser cannot be controlled by the DMX controller, and the DMX

signal indicator is not illuminated please check as below: A. Make sure to set up the DMX mode. B. Make sure to have a good connection.

5) If it is in DMX mode, the laser is cannot be controlled by the DMX controller but the DMX signal

indicator flashes, please make sure the DMX controller and the laser have the same DMX Address.

6) If the no laser outputs from the projector please restart the AC power by turning off the AC

switch and leaving off for 15 seconds and then turning the switch back to the on position.

7) If the test pattern is not in the proper position restart the AC power by turning off the AC switch

and leaving off for 15 seconds and then turning the switch back to the on position.

After trying the above solution you still have a problem, please contact CHAUVET.

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 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’)

FIXTURE LINKING

Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5

pin to 3 pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M. The chart below details a proper cable conversion:
