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 of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by improving the
product’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

3. Setup
AC Power
The COLORado™ Ridge IP has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the
specifications in this manual or on the product’s sticker.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To determine the power requirements for the COLORado™ Ridge IP, refer to the label
affixed to the side of the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in
the Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For
more information, you may download the document Sizing the Circuit Breakers from the
CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
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™ Ridge IP ships with an IP66 power input cord terminated with a
proprietary IP66 connector 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.

DMX Linking
You may link the COLORado™ Ridge IP to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with this product, you can control them
individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ Ridge IP uses the standard DMX data connection for the Tour, ARC.1,
AR1.D, ARC.3, AR3.D, AR3.S, and HSV, DMX modes. You will find information about
these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation chapter
(configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode enables a COLORado™ Ridge IP (the “master unit”) to control
one or more COLORado™ Ridge IPs (the “slave units”) without a DMX controller. The
COLORado™ Ridge IP becomes the master unit when running an auto or custom
program, or by being in STAT mode. You must configure the slave units to operate in
SLAV mode from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the
slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, master/slave connectivity, or if you need
information about the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, you may
download the document DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the products operating in Master/Slave mode.
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from
the master unit.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.

Setup

Mounting
Before mounting this product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual).
Orientation
Always mount this product in any safe position while making sure that there is adequate
room for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance.
Rigging
The COLORado™ Ridge IP consists of a heavy-duty rigid steel frame which enables this
product to be hung overhead (using included omega brackets) or placed on the floor.
CHAUVET® recommends following the general guidelines below when mounting this
product.
•When selecting an installation location, consider ease of access to this product for
operation, programming adjustments, and routine maintenance.
•Make sure to mount this product away from any flammable material as indicated in the
Safety Notes section.
•If hanging this product, make sure that the location where you are mounting it can
support its weight. Please see the Technical Specifications section of this manual for
the weight requirement of this product.
Procedure
The COLORado™ Ridge IP comes with omega brackets that attach to the bottom of the
product using ¼ turn locking screws to which you can attach clamps. You must supply your
own clamps and make sure that they are capable of supporting the weight of this product.
You must use two mounting points per unit. Alternatively, you can remove the omega
brackets and mount the product to the floor.

Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode enables a group of COLORado™ Ridge IPs (the slave units) to
duplicate simultaneously the output of another COLORado™ Ridge IP (the master unit)
without a DMX controller.

•The master unit is the one that runs a program, whether Auto or Custom, or that
operates in Static mode.
•Do not connect a DMX controller to the units configured for Master/Slave
operation.
•The master unit should be the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
Color Settings
The COLOR setting determines how the COLORado™ Ridge IP generates the white color
based on various RGB settings.
1. Go to SET.
2. Select COLO.
3. Select OFF, RGBW, or UC.
OFF: When all the RGB faders are set to “255”, the output is maximum,
although the resulting white color may not be balanced.
RGBW: When all the RGB faders are set to “255”, the resulting output is defined
by the configured White color (see Whites Settings).
UC: When all the RGB faders are set to “255”, the output matches that of less
efficient products (Universal Color).
Dimmer Curves
This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORado™ Ridge IP changes when
the operator modifies the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and Dimmer
faders. This setting gives the user four different options to simulate the dimming curve of
an incandescent lighting product.
1. Go to SET.
2. Select DIM.
3. Select a dimmer curve (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3, or DIM4).
OFF: The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBWA channel
values.
DIM1~4: The output follows the Dimmer and RGBWA channel values based on the
corresponding dimmer curve. DIM1 is the fastest and DIM4 is the slowest.

Operation

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 Channel 1 is at the highest position (100%) the intensity of the output is at its
maximum.
Red, Green, Blue
White, and Amber
Color Selection
•Channels 2 through 6 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, Blue, White,
and Amber LEDs in each module.
•When these channels are at the highest position (100%), the intensity of each color is at
its maximum if SETTINGS > COLOR is OFF.
•
You can combine channels 2 through 6 to create over one trillion colors.
Color Macros
•Channel 7 selects the required Color Macro.
•Channel 7 has priority over channels 2 through 11.
•
Channel 1 controls the intensity of the Color Macro.
Strobe
•Channel 8 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2 through 7.
•Channel 8 can strobe channels 2 through 7 when not running macros; the individual
faders (R, G. B, W, and A) as well as channel 1 control the output intensity.
•Channel 8 can strobe channel 7 when running macros, allowing channel 7 to select the
macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto/Custom
•Channel 9 selects the preset auto programs AUTO 01~10 or the custom programs
CUSTOM 01~10.
•When activating the custom programs CUSTOM 01~10, it is possible to control the Step
Time and Fade Time using channels 2 and 3 respectively.
•Channel 9 has priority over channels 2 through 8.
•
Channel 10 controls the speed at which each auto programs plays.
Dimmer Speed
•Channel 11 selects the dimmer mode and speed. Dimmer mode gives the user four
different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.
When DIMMER is set to OFF,the changes in the RGBWA and Master Dimmer faders
are linear. Otherwise, DIM1 is the fastest dimmer curve, while DIM4 is the slowest.
