3. SETUP AC Power This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Always connect the product to a switched circuit.
Proper Usage This product is for overhead mounting only. For safety purposes, CHAUVET® recommends mounting your lighting effect products on steady elevated platforms or sturdy overhead supports using suitable hanging clamps. In all cases, you must use safety cables. You can obtain appropriate mounting hardware from your lighting vendor. International laser safety regulations require that laser products must be operated in the fashion illustrated below, with a minimum of 3 meters (9.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F.

Setting the Starting Address This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses 6 DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.
General Troubleshooting Applies to Symptom Solution(s) Lights Auto shut off Check fan thermal switch reset Beam is very dim or not bright Clean optical system or replace lamp Check 220/110 v switch for proper setting Breaker/Fuse keeps blowing Check total load placed on device Device has no power Check for power on Mains. Check device’s fuse.
5. APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
Returns Procedure Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.
