FCC Statement of Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Expected LED Lifespan
Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than
single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is
40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit
the overall intensity.

Introduction
STRIKE Array 4C User Manual Rev. 1
2. Introduction
Description
The STRIKE Array 4C is an IP65-rated audience blinder with four independently focusable pods. Intense
RGBA-WW LED output delivers a full range of color as well as a wide choice of white color temperatures
with exceptional color rendering. Industry leading low end dimming performance includes Red Shift which
warms the color temperature of the output as it dims to emulate a classic tungsten look. Variable PWM and
high CRI make the product ideal for broadcast applications. A proprietary Tool-Free interlocking system
enables the STRIKE Array 4C to be interconnected easily with other STRIKE Array-series products for
scalable configurations. Omega-Bracket locks installed on both the yoke and the rear of the product
streamline the truss mounting process.
Features
• Intense 4 pod color blinder/strobe rated IP65 for all-weather use
• Full range of color and excellent rendition of any color temperature of white
• Emulated “red shift” to mimic incandescent fixtures perfectly
• Individual pan (or tilt depending on mount orientation) of each head to allow for directional
adjustment of light output
• Innovative interlocking system to connect multiple Strike Array family fixtures together
• Multiple mounting locations and re-positionable yoke with ¼ turn adapters for creative and
convenient rigging options
• Independent pod control and strobe functionality for high-impact effects on the fly

3. Setup
AC Power
The STRIKE Array 4C has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of
100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (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.
AC Plug
The STRIKE Array 4C comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector
on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power cable which came with the
product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.
USB Software Update
The STRIKE Array 4C allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. To update the
software using a USB flash drive, do the following:
1. Power on the product and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed.
Press <ENTER>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in
the menu (Update Firmware) and select from Only This Fixture, Multiple Fixture, or Other
Fixture Type. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded.
4. If the selected file is correct, the update will start. DO NOT turn off power or disconnect the USB
during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to complete.
5. When the update is complete, the product will automatically reboot.
6. Go to the Information level of the product main menu and confirm the firmware revision.
7. When the boot-up process is finished, restart the product manually.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Ensure the
product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color
AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green
• Be sure to select the correct file before pressing <ENTER>. DO NOT turn off the power or
disconnect the USB during the process. The USB update can take several minutes to
complete.
• If the selected file is incorrect, the upgrade will fail, and the display will go back to the
main interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
• Place the .chl file in the root directory of the USB drive.
• The product's USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file
format.
Turning off the power, removing the USB, or not setting the fixture to the correct protocol
during the update can cause partial or total firmware failure in the targeted fixture(s).
Please refer to the Upload 25 Instructions to fix firmware failure issues.

Signal Connections
The STRIKE Array 4C can receive a DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN signal. The product has 2 Seetronic
Etherkon through ports and 5-pin DMX in and out ports. If using other compatible products with this
product, it is possible to control each individually with a single controller.
Control Personalities
The STRIKE Array 4C uses a 5-pin DMX data connection, Art-Net™, or sACN for its 10 control
personalities, ranging from 1Ch to 22Ch.
• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the STRIKE Array 4C to work in these
personalities.
•TheDMX Channel Assignments and Values section provides detailed information regarding the
control personalities.
DMX Linking
It is possible to link the STRIKE Array 4C to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. For more
information about DMX, read the DMX primer at: https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/wp-content/
uploads/2016/06/DMX_Primer.pdf.
Remote Device Management
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The STRIKE Array 4C supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP which transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using
an ethernet connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, streaming ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of
Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible network.
