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.

Calibrating the
White Color
This setting allows you to select the white color shown by the COLORado™ 1-Quad Tour
when the color setting is RGBW and the DMX controller’s red, green, and blue faders are
set to 255.
1. Go to the CAL main level.
2. Enter the passcode as described in Control Panel Lock
3. Go to CAL2.
4. Select a color (RED, GREN, or BLUE).
5. Select a color value (000–255).
6. Repeat for the other colors.
When selecting CAL > CAL2 > RGB.W, you will only be able to define the values of RED,
GREN (green), and BLUE.
The values of RED, GREN (green), and BLUE configured from CAL > CAL2 > RGBW
will define the color temperature shown when the RGB faders are set to “255” if
SET > COLO > RGBW is active.
TOUR Notes
These notes clarify the way the TOUR DMX personality works.
Master Dimmer
•Channel 1 controls the intensity of the currently projected color.
•When the slider is at the highest position (100%), the intensity of the output is at
maximum.
Red, Green, Blue,
and
White Color
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.
•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.
