•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.

AC Power
Each COLORado™ 4 IP has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for
each COLORado™ 4 IP, refer to the label affixed to the product
. You can also refer to
the Technical Specifications in this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
For more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET
®
website: www.chauvetpro.com.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
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™ 4 IP comes with an IP66 power input cord terminated with a
proprietary IP66 connecto
r and an IP66 to Edison power cord adapter. If the power cord
adapter that came with your product has no plug or you need to change the Edison plug,
use the table below to wire the new plug.

Power Linking
The COLORado™ 4 IP supports power linking. You can power link up to 5 products at
120 VAC, 9 products at 208 VAC, or 10 products at 230 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™ 4 IP to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the COLORado™ 4 IP
, you can
control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 4 IP uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR, TR16,
ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, AR2.D, AR2.S, HALO, PIX1, PIX2, and HSV
channel DMX
modes.
•Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of these modes.
•Refer to Operation to learn how to configure the COLORado™ 4 IP to work in these
modes.
•The DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 4 IP (the “master product”) to control
one or more COLORado™ 4 IP
s (the “slave products”) without a DMX controller. One
COLORado™ 4 IP
becomes the master product when running an Auto or Custom
program, or by being in STATIC mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate
in SLAVE mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from t
he master
product.
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure Master and Slave products.
Note: For optimum control of the 16-bit dimming channels in the TR16 personality,
be sure that both dimming curves in SET > DIMX and SET > CURV are set to OFF.
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, downlo
ad the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website:
www.chauvetpro.com.
