SETUP
3. SETUP
AC Power
The GigBAR Flex has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (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 (circuit breaker or fuse).
Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
!
Fuse Replacement
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of nonuse 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.

The GigBAR Flex works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer,
which is available from the Chauvet website http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/
DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
DMX Personality and Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX
mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the
product’s channels.
The GigBAR Flex uses up to 20 DMX channels in a 20CH DMX mode, which defines the highest
configurable address to 493.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until d001 shows on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
3. Press <ENTER> and 3 CH, 8 CH, or 20 CH will show on the display.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired personality
5. Press <ENTER>.
Custom Color Adjustment
To set both the Par and Derby to a custom color, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until CoLo blinks on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to scroll through R** (red), G** (green), B** (blue), or U** (UV).
4. Press <ENTER> to select the color.
5. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to adjust the color saturation (X000–X255).
6. Press <ENTER>.

Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single GigBAR Flex product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or
more GigBAR Flex products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be
set to operate in either Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave products will be set to operate
in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Slav shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to put the fixture in Slave mode. The display will continue to blink.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for every slave.
4. Connect the DMX output of the first slave unit to the DMX input of the next slave unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of each subsequent slave unit to the DMX output of the previous slave
unit.
Master product:
1. Connect the DMX output of the master to the DMX input of the first slave unit.
2. Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.
• The display on the slaves will continue to blink until the slaves are receiving a DMX
signal from the master.
• Make sure the master is the first unit in the DMX chain.
• Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
• Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
• Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

MAINTENANCE
5. MAINTENANCE
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of
the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions
could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
