Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting controller. We are confident you
will enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we
have prepared this short guide.
Operation
This lighting controller has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either
120V~60Hz or 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local
voltage. Check the label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.
The unit has been designed to independently switch on/off up to eight lighting fixtures via the
power sockets at the rear. Simply plug each item into the appropriate socket using the
appropriate power plug and away you go!
For your protection the power panel has been fitted with a 15A circuit breaker which will
disconnect the main power supply to the outputs should you either overload the unit or if there is
a power surge. In such circumstances it is necessary to press the reset button to re-activate the
power to the controller.
Installation / Mounting
This controller may be used either seated on a level surface or mounted into an appropriate 19”
(1U space required) rack cabinet. For reasons of safety it is best to secure the unit into a rack or
suitable mounting so that cables cannot be pulled out of the panel.
Cleaning
The body of the unit may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. We recommend internal cleaning be
carried out by a fully qualified technician.
Maintenance & Servicing
Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers is
considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any such agreement unless
authorized first by the company.
Troubleshooting
•If the unit is not functional – check main power supply is ‘on’ and check any fuses.
•If the unit continually trips the circuit breaker – check the rating of the load and wiring.
If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact your dealer or CHAUVET.
Caution
No user serviceable parts inside, please refer to CHAUVET for service.
