Expected LED Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in
clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this
lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting
the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

SETUP
DMX Linking
You can link the Maverick MK1 Spot to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other
DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Personalities
The Maverick MK1 Spot uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 22- and 29-channel DMX
personalities.
•Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of each DMX personality.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Maverick MK1 Spot to work in these
personalities.
•The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX personalities.
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 Maverick MK1 Spot supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Signal Connections
The Maverick MK1 Spot can receive DMX, Art-Net™, sACN, or Kling-Net signal. The Maverick MK1 Spot
has 2 Neutrik® etherCON® through ports, and 3- and 5-pin DMX in and out ports. For more information
about DMX, read the DMX primer at: https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/
DMX_Primer.pdf.
Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using
an Neutrik® etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is
available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, streaming ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of
Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible network.
ACN is maintained by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
