Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will enjoy many trouble
free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we have prepared this short guide.
System Overview
The COLORtube system is a seven color LED lighting effect that produces a wide variety of color changing, chasing and strobing
light shows. The output of the red, green and blue LEDs is mixed and diffused to produce pure cyan, magenta, yellow, red,
green, blue and white that may be programmed for a broad range of moods, from dynamic displays of color in motion to serene
color blends.The system is easy to install and operate. The information contained in this guide will allow the user to have the sys-
tem running in a very short time.
The main components are the LED-T40HV COLORtube and the LED-CHV controller.
LED-T40HV COLORtube
The COLORtube is a one meter long tube containing 144 high intensity LEDs. Each tube has 4 leads: Signal in and power in on
one end and signal out and power out on the other. The first tube must be connected to the mains power via a power cable, LED-
PC5HV. The other tubes may be powered via the power out cable limited only by the wattage available from the power outlet. The
COLORtubes must be run using the LED-CHV controller. Up to 1000 tubes may be controlled by a single controller however, a
signal booster, LED-BOOSTHV must be utilized every 30 COLORtubes.
