Safety Notes

Read all the following safety notes before working with this product. These notes contain important information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in this User Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not open the housing or attempt any repairs.

All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this product.

Personal Safety

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

• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.

• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.

• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.

Mounting and Rigging

• Do not submerge this product (IP65). Temporary outdoor operation is fine.

• When using this product in an outdoor environment, use IP65 (or higher) rated power and data cables. Secure unused power and data ports with attached IP65 covers.

• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g., cold truck to warm, humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.

• Not for permanent outdoor installation in locations with extreme environmental conditions. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Exposure to a marine/saline environment (within 3 miles of a saltwater body of water).

• Locations where the normal high or low temperatures exceed the temperature ranges in this

manual.

• Locations that are prone to flooding or being buried in snow.

• Areas where the product will be subjected to extreme radiation or caustic substances.

• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces.

• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.

• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

Power and Wiring

• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.

• Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage in accordance with the specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

• Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.

• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.

• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.

Operation

• Do not operate this product if there is damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.

• The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher temperatures.

• The minimum startup temperature is -4°F (-20°C). Do not start the product at lower temperatures.

• The minimum ambient temperature is -22°F (-30°C). Do not operate the product at lower temperatures.

• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!

If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Expected LED Lifespan

Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit the overall intensity.

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The COLORado 1QS 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 (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use 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.

AC Plug

The COLORado 1QS comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came with your product has no plug, or if you need to change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color

AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass AC Neutral White Blue Silver AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green

Power Linking

The product supports power linking. You can power link up to 18 products at 100 V, up to 22 products at 120 V, up to 35 products at 208 V, up to 38 products at 230 V, or up to 40 products at 240 V. This product comes with a power input cord. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.

Remote Device Management (RDM)

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The COLORado 1QS supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

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.
