•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require 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.

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 > COLRis 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 5.
•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 (Master Dimmer), 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.C1–10).
•When activating the custom auto programs PR.C1–10, 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 values 010–029,the changes in the RGBW and master dimmer
faders are linear.
•When dimmer is set to dimming curve 1–4, Dimming Curve 1 is the fastest dimmer curve
and Dimming Curve 4 is the slowest.
