4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Configuring the Starting Address
The Gobo Zoom™ LED 2.0 product uses two DMX channels. The highest channel that
the product may be set to in order to function properly is 511. Any address higher than this
will prevent access to all of the channels.
If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in
the “Appendix”.
DMX Operation
This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller.
You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it
is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this
manual.

DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. A product capable of receiving DMX will
require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting
address on the product that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There
are many different types of DMX controllable products and they all may vary in the
total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in
advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation
of the products whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control
multiple products of the same type using the same starting address as long as the
intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the products
will all respond exactly the same.
DMX products are designed to receive data through a daisy chain. A daisy chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one product connects to the DATA IN of the
next product. The order in which the products are connected is not important and has
no effect on how a controller communicates to each product. Use an order that
provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect products using shielded two
conductor twisted pair DMX data cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors.
The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data
positive (S+).
Product Linking (Daisy Chain)
You will need a daisy chain to run light shows of one or more products using a DMX
controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more products set to a master/slave
operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the products on a
daisy chain determines the number of products the data link can support.
To comply with the EIA-485 standard, do not connect more than 32 products on
one daisy chain. Connecting more than 32 products on one daisy chain without
the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the
digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended cable distance: 500 m (1640 ft)
Maximum recommended number of products on a daisy chain: 32
Data Cabling
To link products together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET®
certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If
you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a
high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
DMX Data Cable
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-
485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over
long distances. The cable must have the following characteristics:
Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair
Maximum capacitance between conductors: 30 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance: 20 ohms/1000 ft
Nominal impedance: 100 ~ 140 ohms

Gobo Zoom LED 2.0 (Rev. 02) Page 11 of 15
Cable Connectors
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female
XLR connector on the other end.
Do not allow contact between the common and the product’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your product may
perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Setting the Starting Address
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each product
requires a start address from 1~512. A product requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For
example, a product that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX
channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.
Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start
address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a product using the DMX control protocol, we
suggest jumping to the “Appendix” section and reading the heading “DMX Primer”. It
contains very useful information that will help you understand its use.

General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, products should be cleaned
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency.
As a general rule, products should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up
reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to
reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off product before
conducting maintenance.
Unplug product from power.
Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected
on external vents.
Clean all lenses when the product is cool with a mild solution of glass cleaner
or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.
Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of
the lens.
Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically
to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the
product operates. Damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass
cleaning fluid. Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the product at
least every 30/60 days.
Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.
Never spin a fan using compressed air.
Returns Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing; call tags will
not be issued. Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandize
Authorization Number (RMA #). Products returned without the RMA # will be refused.
Call CHAUVET® and request an RMA # prior to shipping the product. Be prepared to
provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the
return. Be sure to pack product properly; any shipping damage resulting from
inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS
packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. CHAUVET® reserves the
right to use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s).
