USING THE INTEGRATED CA-8 CONTROLLER
The CA-8 Easy Controller provides additional wired remote functionality to a
designated range of CHAUVET lighting fixtures. Depending on the fixture the
Function and Mode buttons will have varying affect. The ILS™ Control Center has
2 individual integrated CA-8 controllers. You will need (2) CA-CBL linking cables to
begin the chain. Cables are sold separately.
You will need to consult with your individual fixture’s manual for a detailed
description of the controlled parameters. Below is a general description of what the
individual buttons will do.

FUNCTION The function button is a multi-purpose button providing for the selection of minor
program changes, such as strobing, step advancement, fast/slow selection and more
features that depend on the particular CA-8 compatible lighting fixture you are

the Users Manual of the lighting fixture he/she is controlling to determine the specific
