environment before connecting it to power.
•Not for permanent outdoor installation in locations with extreme environmental conditions.
This includes, but is not limited to:
•Exposure to a marine/saline environment (within 3 miles of a saltwater body of
water).
•Where the normal high or low temperatures of the location exceed the temperature
ranges in this manual.
•Locations that are prone to flooding or being buried in snow.
•Other areas where the product will be subject to extreme radiation or caustic
substances.
•Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from
adjacent surfaces.

higher temperature.
•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
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.

DMX Linking
You can link the COLORdash S-Par 1 to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If
using other DMX-compatible products with the COLORdash S-Par 1,
you can control each
individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX
Personalities
The COLORdash S-Par 1 uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 5-, 6- and 11-channel DMX
personalities.
•Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of each DMX personality.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORdash S-Par 1 to work in
these personalities.
•The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
personalities.
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.chauvetprofessional.com.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash S-Par 1 (the master) to control one or more
COLORdash S-Par 1s (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORdash S-Par 1
becomes the master when running an auto or custom program, or by being in a Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave
operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
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.
•The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the master and slaves.
•If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, or the
DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX
Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
•To preserve the IP65 rating and the warranty of this product, IP65 data cables must
be used.
•Insert the attached IP65 rated plugs into the corresponding power/data connections
when not in use.

Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
Clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performan
ce and
can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical
wear.
To clean your product:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the
external vents.
4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
