Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the
ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature
to an optimal
operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to
extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

3. Setup
AC Power
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage.
To determine the
power requirements for the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour
, refer to the specification label
affixed to the product or the specifications in this manual.
See the Technical Specifications.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For
more information, download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET® website:
www.chauvetpro.com.
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.
AC Plug
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik®
powerCON® A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S.
market). If
the power input cord that came with your product has no plug, or if you need to change the
Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Power Linking
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour supports power linking. You can power link up to 11
products at 120 VAC.
This product comes with a power input cord. This product does not come with a power
linking cable; however, a power linking cable is available as an option.
DMX Linking
You can link the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the
COLORado™ 1 Quad
Tour, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR,
ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, AR2.D, AR2.S, and HSV DMX modes.
Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour to
work in these modes.
The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour (the “master product”) to
control one or more COLORado™ 1 Quad Tours (the “slave products”)
without a DMX
controller. One COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour becomes the master product
when running an
Auto or Custom program, or by being in Static (STAT) mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in Slave (SLAV) mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.

Setup
COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour User Manual Rev. 2 -7-
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
Mounting
Before mounting this product, read and follow the Safety Notes in this manual.
Orientation
Always mount this product in a safe position and make sure there is adequate room for

Color Settings
The COLOR setting determines how the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour generates the white
color based on various RGB settings.
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select COLO.
3. Select OFF, RGB.W, or UC.
OFF: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output is maximum, although
the resulting white color may not be balanced.
RGB.W: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the resulting output is defined by
the configured White color (see White Calibration).
UC: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output matches that of less
efficient products (Universal Color).
Dimmer Curves
This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORado™ 1 Quad Tour changes
when you modify the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, and Dimmer faders. This
setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent
lighting product.
1. Go to the SET main level.
2. Select DIM.
3. Select a dimmer curve (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3, or DIM4).
OFF: The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBW channel
values.
DIM1~4:
The output follows the Dimmer and RGBW channel values based on the
corresponding dimmer curve, being
DIM1
the fastest and
DIM4
the slowest.
Control Panel
Lock
This setting enables you to activate or disable the control panel lock, which keeps non-
authorized personnel from changing the product’s settings.
1. Go to the KEY main level.

product has the custom programs you want to transfer to the slave products.
2. From the master product, go to the SET main level.
3. Select UPLD.
4. When PASS shows, press <ENTER>.
5. Enter the master access password as shown in Control Panel Lock.
6. When SEND shows, press <ENTER> to start the upload.

Selection
•Channels 2 through 5 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, Blue, and
White LEDs.
•When these channels are at the highest position (100%), the intensity of each color is at
maximum if SET > COLO is OFF.
•
You can combine channels 2 through 5 to create over one trillion colors.
Color Macros
•Channel 6 selects the required Color Macro.
•Channel 6 has priority over channels 2 through 6.
•
Channel 1 controls the intensity of the Color Macro.

Strobe
•Channel 7 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2 through 6.
•Channel 7 can strobe channels 2 through 5 when not running macros, allowing the
individual faders (R, G. B, and W), as well as channel 1 (D), to control the output
intensity.
•Channel 7 can strobe channel 6 when running macros, allowing channel 6 to select the
macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto/Custom
•Channel 8 selects the preset auto programs AT.01~10 or the custom programs
PR.01~10.
•When activating the custom Auto programs PR.01~10, you can control the Step Time
and Fade Time using channels 2 and 3, respectively.
•Channel 8 has priority over channels 2 through 7.
•
Channel 9 controls the speed at which each auto program plays.
Dimmer Speed
•Channel 10 selects the Dimmer mode and speed. Dimmer mode provides four different
options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
•When Dimmer is set to OFF,the changes in the RGBW and Master Dimmer faders are
linear.
•When Dimmer is set to DIM1~DIM4, DIM1 is the fastest dimmer curve and DIM4 is the
slowest.
