Setup 3. Setup AC Power This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can work with an input voltage range of 200~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Always connect the fixture to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire. 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.
Setup Data Cabling You must use DMX compliant data cables to link two or more DMX compatible fixtures together. You may purchase CHAUVET certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. USITT recommends limiting the total length of the DMX cable (from the first fixture/controller to the last fixture) to 300 ~ 455 m (985 ~ 1,500 ft).
Setup 3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart It may be necessary to use a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter.

Setup Orientation (bracket installation) The brackets in this fixture may be mounted on either side of the mounting plate, thus allowing for a 90° rotation of the fixture. Please see the diagram below for further explanation.
Setup Lamp When replacing the lamp, please wait at least 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool! More time may be necessary. Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation. You should use cotton or latex gloves to avoid from touching the lamp envelope with your bare hands.

Please see the diagram, along with the set of instructions, below for further explanation. Error Alert Icon Current DMX Address Internal Fixture Temperature DMX Operating Mode DMX Operation This is the explanation of how to setup the fixture to operate with a DMX controller.
Operating Instructions Lamp Dousing Due to the extreme heat produced by the lamp, closing the shutters/dimmers for an extended period will cause a build-up of heat. However, a function in the fixture will automatically reduce the power to the lamp when the shutters/dimmers are closed. This will reduce the heat, and prolong the life of the fixture. There is a time delay for which this feature will activate. Please see the set of instructions below for further explanation. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Operating Instructions Menu Map (Cont.) Home position Adjustment The “home position” is the location the fixture finds during the reset (home) process. This is commonly known as electronic adjustment. This is a hidden menu in the fixture. If the home position of one of the motors becomes misaligned, you can use this menu to realign/offset the function. Please see the chart, along with the set of instructions, below for further explanation. 1. Press

Technical Information 5. Technical Information General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear.
Technical Information Air Filter Cleaning This fixture contains air filters to reduce dust and debris from building up on the internal components. Please see the diagram below for further explanation. Although there are air filters present in the vents of this fixture, it is still necessary to perform regular maintenance of the internal components, on a regular interval. This includes the cleaning of the lenses and the dichroic filters.
Technical Information Returns Procedure The user must send the merchandise prepaid. CHAUVET will not issue call tags. The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #). CHAUVET will refuse any product returned without an RMA #. Call CHAUVET and request an RMA # before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the return. Be sure to pack the fixture properly.

6. Appendix DMX Primer The DMX method enables the use of a universal DMX controller device with DMX compatible fixtures. Each DMX connection has 512 channels and each DMX fixture uses a certain number of sequential DMX channels to provide control to its features. Starting Address For the DMX controller to identify each DMX fixture, they must have a unique starting address assigned to them.
