down and made impossible to reapply, even accidentally, during work on the installation.

• Shut down power to the installation during service and when it is not in use.

• Before applying power to the installation, check that all power distribution equipment and cables

are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.

• Isolate the installation from power immediately if any product, power cable or power plug is in
any way damaged, defective or wet, or if it shows signs of overheating.

(131° F).

• Do not modify the Color Force II PlusTM in any way not described in this manual or install other
than genuine Chroma-Q® parts. Use only accessories approved by Chroma-Q®.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• Ensure that the installation hardware and supporting surface or structure can hold at least 10
times the weight of all the devices they support.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing
or moving the Color Force II PlusTM.

• As soon as work is completed, check that all hardware and components are securely fastened to
supporting structures.

1. Product overview

The Chroma-Q® Color Force II PlusTM LED batten range is a powerful lineup of professional cyc and
wash lights. These super bright fixtures easily wash up to 12m / 39 ft. walls or cycloramas. In
addition, the advanced color mixing and control management technologies together give you a
radically increased color palette, a high CRI and theatrical grade dimming, all in the same fixture.

Optional slide-in "Cyc Light" and "Border Light" optical len s accessories are available to adjust
the light output to suit a wide range of applications.

The Chroma-Q® Color Force II Plus

TM

lighting fixture is designed specifically for professional indoor
entertainment lighting. The fixture can be wall or floor mounted with the adjustable quick-release
end-plate fixing system. For hung bar or truss mounting, additional bar clamp hardware is required.

The Color Force II PlusTM features built-in power supplies and can operate as a stand-alone unit or
be remotely controlled through ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol via a cable or a Lumen Radio
wireless connection when using the optional radio module.

The Color Force II PlusTM is available in three lengths, the Color Force II Plus 72TM model which
features a total of 24 high output RGBA cells (or pixels), the Color Force II Plus 48TM model which
features a total of 16 high output RGBA cells (or pixels) and the Color Force II Plus 12TM model which
features a total of 4 high output RGBA cells (or pixels). Each cell provides a homogenized color output
with no unsightly color shadowing like fixtures using traditional individual-colored emitters.

The control options incorporate a choice of RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Amber), RGB (Red, Green,
Blue, with *Magic Amber) and HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) control modes.

The product's robust anodized aluminum extruded construction houses a discreet cable management
system. Additional protection is built around the lenses for a truly road proof fixture.

4.1. Mode Select Options

RGBA (Red, Green, Blue and Amber) provides 4 control channels that directly affect the intensity of

each color within a group. Color is mixed by adjusting the levels of each of the four channels. The
DMX footprint will be determined by the grouping option selected. White (of about 4,000K) is
achieved with all channels at full. Refer to the table below for detail on grouping and DMX footprints.
This mode assigns 4 DMX channels to set Red, Green, Blue and Amber levels in each cell, or group of
cells.

HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity) gives 3 control channels to each group; 2 color channels for hue
and saturation and one intensity channel. A separate definable intensity channel is particularly useful
when creating intensity chases or when the grand master is used. The hue channel has 255 different
colors available and the saturation channel specifies the saturation level of that color. The saturation
channel is fully saturated at full. White is achieved with the intensity channel to full and the saturation
channel at zero.
*Magic Amber is the term used for the unit's ability to bring in amber when mixing colors that require

it.
Look Sel (Look Select) gives 1 control channel to select a preset look based on the DMX value. Refer

to the table below for factory presets.
MASTER sets the fixture to output a DMX stream for control of any fixtures connected “downstream”.

4.2. Grouping Options

Color Force II Plus ™ offers a powerful, wide variety of grouping options for the individual cells (or
pixels) within each fixture. Grouping is independent of control Mode selection. A Color Force II Plus
72TM fixture consists of 24 cells, a Color Force II Plus 48TM fixture consists of 16 cells and a Color
Force II Plus 12TM fixture consists of 4 cells. “Cell” or pixel grouping allows individual control of each
single cell or various grouping of cells as defined in the tables below. In “x24/x16/x4” grouping, all
cells in the Color Force II Plus

72/48/12, the fixtures will be controlled as 1 group. In x1 each cell is

being controlled independently for a total of 24, 16 or 4 individual cells for the Color Force II Plus

TM

72, 48 or 12 respectively. See tables below where the number in the table indicates the group
number. In RGBA Mode each group uses 4 DMX slots; in RGB & HSI Modes each group uses 3
DMX slots.

Od / Ev: Controls every other cell (pixels) in two groups of control – odd cell and even cells.
Skp2: Provides control of three groups comprising every third cell (pixel) on the fixture.
Skp3: Provides control of four groups comprising every forth cell (pixel) on the fixture.

– 5 extra channels as follows: flash, frequency, flash duration, On Top strobe color. On Top color will
be 3 or 4 channels depending on control mode.

RANDOM: Choosing this option LED’s flashing frequency and duration can be randomized allowing
unit to have a base color with strobe enabled adding another 1 extra channel for density (how may
pixels are flashed at a time). Lowest density value is 1, highest is all 24 pixels.

4.6. Master Mode

Color Force II Plus™ fixtures can operate without DMX input and can act as a standalone master
control for other fixtures. Once master mode is selected, Color Force II Plus™ fixtures will transmit
DMX data so other connected units can be controlled by the master Color Force II Plus™ fixture.

connection is detected, the following screen appears:

•

Remove the DMX cable.

•

Change the mode to Master.

Thermal Performance

The Color Force II Plus

TM

12, 48 & 72 fixtures feature internal fans that control the internal cooling.

If the internal temperature of the Color Force II Plus ™ exceeds 75ºC the output of the fixture will be
reduced for automatic protection. This happens on rare and extreme conditions when ambient
temperature is over 35ºC or the internal fans are blocked or damaged.

The airflow to and from the fan must not be constricted to maintain the maximum light output of the
Color Force II Plus

TM

.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. First, rule out the other field factors (i.e. bad
connections, faulty cables and power supplies). For technical support and/or parts, please contact
your selling dealer or the offices listed in this manual.

Symptom

Possible Cause

Solution

Bad cable connecting DMX control and

fixture.
Bad in/through connection

between adjacent fixtures.
Console patch is incorrect.

Check DMX address
and Mode settings.

Check/replace DMX run
from the console.

Check DMX values in the
Setup/DMX Data screen
as described above to
verify the fixture is
“seeing” the DMX data.

Noise from fixture unit.

Fan malfunction.

Check fan.

Low LED output.

Internal temperature is over
the limit. Fan is not working.

Verify Engine temperature
using the Setup/Eng
Temp screen as
described above.

Check “Fan Control”
mode. Check fan.
Check for airflow - to and

from the internal fan.
Check area ventilation.

Maintenance

With care, the Color Force II Plus ™ will require little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be
used in a stage environment, we recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of any resulting
dust and/or cracked oil residue.

Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild
detergent on a damp cloth.
