Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to
ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the
shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear
damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton
and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is
important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
AC Power
This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of
input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make
sure the line voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This
fixture will accommodate between 100V and 240V AC. All fixtures must be powered
directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or
dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%
switch.

3. SETUP
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a
DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a
master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the
fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
To comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be
connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one
serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may
result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase
CHAUVET-certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own
cable. If you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can
carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
DMX DATA CABLE
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485
applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long
distances. The cable will have the following characteristics:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on
the other end.
CAUTION Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may
perform erratically Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to
make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART
Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to
use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F.

Standalone & Master/Slave Operation
When multiple units are linked together via 3pin XLR cables (sold separately), the first
unit in the chain will act as the Master and will send data (DMX-512) to the other units
(Slaves).
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to
give an automatic sound activated synchronized light show.
The uint is normally without sound activated function. If the client request the unit
with sound activated function and it is only used in the indoor case ,we may
configure the function.
iLED LED PARCans have built-in programs that are accessed via [Shnd] Menu.

DMX-512 Mode
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address
from 1 to 511 channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the is showing on the display. Pressing
ENTER button and the display will light on. Use “VAL- “ and “VAL+ “ button to change the
DMX-512 address. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER button to storing
the setting. To go backto the functions without any change press the MENU button again.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX-512 channel for the units.
4 DMX-512 channels:
DMX Channels
Each LED LIGHT has 4 control channels, DMX channel value refer to the 5th page.
5. APPENDIX
DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any
manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of
sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates
the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX
controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required.
Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap.
If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is
set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the
same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or
operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the
same. DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the
next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no
effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for
the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor
twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is
pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As
a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces
light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life
and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting
maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove
dust collected on external ventsand internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture
is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton
cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the
outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause
greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass
cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. – Clean the external optics at least every
20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage
must be reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's
responsibility to notify and submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is
damaged due to shipping. Any other claim for items such as missing component/part,
damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage, must be made within seven (7)
days of receiving merchandise.
