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

• This product is not intended for permanent installation.

• This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this product to
rain or moisture. (IP20)

• 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.

• 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 this product while it is operating.

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

• Never carry the product by the power cord.

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

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.

AC Power

The Maverick MK3 Profile 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 Maverick MK3 Profile 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 the 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

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.

2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.

3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (F 20 A, 250 V).

4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

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 MK3 Profile supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
