Setup 3. Setup AC Power The COLORado™ 1 IP has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in this guide, the product’s user manual, or on the product’s sticker. Always connect the COLORado™ 1 IP to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Setup Master/Slave Connectivity The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to control one or more COLORado™ 1 IP fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the “master” when running an Auto or Custom program as well as when in STATIC mode. The controlled fixtures are the “slaves” and you must set them to “SLAVE” mode from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture.
Setup Mounting Before mounting this fixture, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual). Orientation Always mount this fixture in any safe position while making sure that there is adequate room around it for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance. Make sure to mount this fixture away from any flammable material as indicated in the Safety Notes section.
Operation 4.
Operation Continued from previous page DMX Control With ID Addressing In this mode, the fixtures with the same DMX starting address will respond to the DMX controller based on the fixture’s individual ID address setting. If the user selects ID address “0”, all the fixtures with the same DMX address will respond in unison. Otherwise, each fixture will follow the control for its particular ID address. 1) Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 from DMX Control Without ID Addressing.
Operation Continued from previous page Color Adjustment The COLOR setting determines how the COLORado™ 1 IP displays the white color when the Red, Green, and Blue faders are all at the “255” value. 1) Go to SET > Color. 2) Select OFF, RGBW, or UC. Setting Description OFF RGBW When R, G, and B are “255,” the output will be at its maximum. When R, G, and B are “255,” CAL2 will determine the output. When R, G, and B are “255,” the output will match that of fixtures from previous generations.
Operation Continued from previous page Reset This setting allows the user to reset the COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to its default values, including the custom programs. 1) Go to SET> REST. 2) When prompted, enter the master access password as shown in Control Panel Lock. 3) Wait for the reset process to finish. Whites Setting This setting allows the user to edit the temperature of the 11 white colors used in the Macros channel. The 11 pre-set whites are configurable. 1) Go to CAL1.

Technical Information 5. Technical Information General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light 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 light source life and increased mechanical wear.
