3. SETUP AC Power This product has a switchable power supply that can work with an input voltage range of 115 VAC or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for this product (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Mounting Before mounting this product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual). Orientation The LED Followspot 75 may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product. Rigging Before deciding on a location for this product, always make sure that it will be easy to access the unit for maintenance and programming purposes.
4. OPERATION Control Panel Operation To access the control panel functions, use the buttons located underneath the display. Please refer to the Product Overview (page 5) to see the buttons location on the control panel. Button Function Turns power on and off. Opens dimmer to a maximum of 100% (hold to raise percentage). Closes dimmer to a maximum of 100% (hold to lower percentage). Turns LED on (default setting).
Configuration (DMX) Starting Address Set this product in DMX mode to control it with a DMX controller. 1. Connect this product to a suitable power outlet. 2. Turn this product on. 3. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket of this product. When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses.
Configuration (Standalone) Set this product in one of the standalone modes to control it without a DMX controller. 1) Connect this product to a suitable power outlet. 2) Turn this product on. Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. This is because products in standalone mode may transmit signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Product Maintenance Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
General Troubleshooting Symptom Circuit breaker or fuse keeps blowing Product does not power up Possible Cause Possible Action Excessive load on the circuit Make sure that the total load does not exceed 80% of the breaker or fuse nominal current Short circuit along the power lines Check the power lines and power cords No energy on power outlet Check power outlet Change to another outlet Loose or damaged power cord Check the power cord Blown fuse Replace blown fu

DMX Primer The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on the EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels (001 to 512). This system requires a controller (DMX controller), one or more DMX compatible products, and a DMX circuit (also known as “DMX universe”) to link the products to the controller. Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible products may require from one to more than 30 DMX channels to operate.
DMX Cabling The DMX protocol requires using special data cables to accommodate for the high speed digital signals it uses. Despite their apparent similarities, data cables are electrically different from standard microphone cables because they can carry high frequency digital signals and have better protection against electromagnetic interference. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or make your own DMX cable.
