1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read these instructions care fully, which include important
What is Included
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, an d have been rec ei ved in g ood 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, it is im portant that the fixture be returned in the o riginal box and packing.
AC Pow er
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 exis ts th at it is s et to th e c orr ec t line voltage you will use.
Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
Notes! Input voltage equals outp ut voltage. Line A m ust be used when only one line is
nee ded in order for the unit t o function properly.

surfac es. Be sure that no ven t i l ati on slots are bloc k ed.
• 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 the cables.
Use its carrying handles.

3. SETUP
Fixture Linking
You will n eed a serial data link to run light shows of on e or m ore fixtures usi ng a DM X-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 fix ture s the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum r ec om m en d ed number of fixtu res on a serial d ata link: 32
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET® certifi ed D M X
cables di r ect ly from a dealer/distribu t or or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
cable pl ease use data-gr ade cables that c an c arry a high qualit y si gn al an d are less pron e to
electromagnetic interference.
Power connection
The Pro-D6 has been designed to work on multiple input voltages (100-240VAV 50 / 6 0Hz)
simultaneously, and comes fitted with 20 amp connectors for this purpose. For example, Line A can
be plugg ed int o 120V and Lin e B can be pl ugged into 23 0V. Any voltag e bet w een 100-240 volts may
be used.
The power for the Line A and the Line B circuits must share the same electrical phase. The
unit will not operate properly if they are on different phases.
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.
Mounting
Orientation
This fi xtur e m ay b e m ount ed i n an y pos it i on provided th ere is adequate room for ventilation.
Rigging
It is important never to obs truct the fan or ven ts pat hway. Mount th e
fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. Adjust the angle of
the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the
desired position, retighten both knobs.
• When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp
replacement access and routine maintenance.
• Safety cables must always be used.
• Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high
humidit y, extreme temp er at ur e ch anges or restr ic t ed ven t i l ation.

General Maintenance
To maint ain op t i mu m p erformance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining cleaning frequency. As a general ru l e,
fixtures sh ould be cleaned at least twic e a month. Dust build up reduc es lig ht out p ut p er f or m ance and
can caus e overheating . T his c an l ead t o r educed lamp lif e and inc reased mech anical wear. Be sure
to power of f the fi xture before c ond uc ting maint en ance.
Unplug the fixtur e fr om p ower . Use a vacuum or air c om pressor and a sof t brus h to remove dus t
collect ed on ext ernal vents and int er n al c om p onents. Clean all glass wh en th e 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
surfac es un til they are fr ee of h az e and li nt .
The clean in g of internal and ext er n al op t ical lenses and/or mirr ors m u s t b e c arried out periodically to
optimi z e ligh t output. Clean i ng frequenc y 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 leas t e very 20 days. Cl ean the internal opt ics at least every 30/60 days .
