3.SETUP
AC Power
This product has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage
range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the
back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications ch
art. A fixture’s listed
current rating indicates its average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse),
making sure that it has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Fuse
Replacement
This fixture uses an F 1 A, 250 V fuse. Follow the instructions below to change it in case
it blows.
Disconnect this product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
1) Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder and pry it out
of its housing.
2) Remove the blown fuse from its holder and replace it with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating.
3) Insert the fuse holder back in its place, and reconnect power.
This product ships with a spare fuse inside the safety cap, as shown above.
Power Linking
This fixture provides power linking via the Edison outlet located in the front of the unit.
Please see the diagram below for further explanation.
Power Linking
Diagram
You can power link up to 40 SlimPAR 64 units on 120 VAC or up to 60 SlimPAR 64
units on 230 VAC.
The power linking diagram shown above corresponds to the North American
version of this product ONLY! If using this product in other markets,
consult with
the local CHAUVET distributor as power linking connectors and requirements may
differ in your country or region.

Mounting
Before mounting this product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual).
Orientation
The SlimPAR 64 may be mounted in any position, provided there is adequate room for
ventilation around it.
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.
Make sure that the structure onto which you are mounting this product can support its
weight. Please see the Technical Specifications
section of this manual for weight
information.
When mounting this product overhead, always use a safety cable.
Mount the fixture
securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
When rigging this product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp
of appropriate
weight capacity. The bracket has a 13 mm hole, which is appropriate for this purpose.
When power linking multiple fixtures, you must
always consider the length of the power
linking cable and mount the fixtures close enough for the cable to reach them.
The bracket knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the fixture to the desired
angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs using your bare hands. Using tools
could damage the knobs.
The double bracket yoke/mounting brackets/feet also serve
as floor support(s) or
surface mounting. When mounting this fixture on the floor, make sure that the fixture and
its cables are away from people and vehicles.

Configuration
(DMX)
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.
Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you
could restrict the access to some of the fixture’s channels.
The SlimPAR 64 uses up to seven DMX channels in the 7-CH personality, which defines
the highest configurable address to 507.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1) Press <MENU>repeatedly until 3-CH or 7-CH shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER>.

5) Turn the music on and adjust the microphone sensitivity knob until the fixture starts
reacting to the beat of the music.
The fixture will only respond to the low frequencies of the music (bass and
drums).
Automatic Mode
To enable the Automatic Mode, follow the instructions below:
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until P-- shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER>.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select P1~P4.

Colors
To enable the Custom Static Colors mode, do the following:
1) Press <MENU>repeatedly until U-- shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER>.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired color: red (r--), green (g--),or blue (b--).
4) Press <ENTER>.
5) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired color value (000~100).

6) Press <ENTER> to continue to the next color.
7) Repeat steps 5 to 7 until you create your desired color.
8) Press <ENTER> to save the color.
Master/Slave
Mode This mode allows a single SlimPAR 64 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or
more SlimPAR 64 units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master
unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active
mode, while the slave
units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will
operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 7-CH shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER> to accept.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the starting address to d001.
4) Press <ENTER>.
5) Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
6) Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
7) Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1) Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode, as previously
indicated.
2) Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.

Page 10 of 13 SlimPAR 64 User Manual Rev. 6
•Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
•Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.

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 and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting fixtures at least twice a month.
However, be aware that us
e 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.
•Wait until the fixture is at room temperature.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface and vents.
•Clean the LED transparent cover with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass
cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
•Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the LED transparent cover.
•Gently polish the transparent LED cover until it is free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent LED cover carefully after cleaning.
