5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION General Maintenance Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting fixtures at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency. To clean this fixture, follow the instructions below: Unplug the fixture from power.
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
Returns Procedure The user must send the merchandise prepaid, in the original box, and with its original packing and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags. Call CHAUVET® and request a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #) before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number, and a brief description of the cause for the return. The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #).
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 fixtures, and a DMX circuit (also known as “DMX universe”) to link the fixtures to the controller. Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible fixtures 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.
DIP Switch Reference Guide You can use the table below to set your fixture’s DIP switches. Imagine that you want to find the DIP switch settings for DMX address 328: 1) Find 328 among the addresses from the table and point at it with your finger. 2) Move your finger to the left and you will find the settings for DIP Switches 1 to 5. DIP Switches 1, 2, 3, and 5 are Off (0), while DIP Switch 4 is On (1). 3) Go back and point at the 328 address.
