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.

Power Linking
The COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 supports power linking. You can power link up to 17
products at 120 V; up to 28 at 208 V; or up to 31 at 230 V.
This product comes with a power input cord. A power linking cable is available
from
Chauvet for purchase.
DMX Linking
You can link the COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the
COLORdash™
Batten-Hex 8, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Personalities
The COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 uses the standard DMX data connection with its DMX
personalities.
•Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORdash™ Batten-
Hex 8 to work in these modes.
•The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 (the master) to control
one or more COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 products (the slaves
) without a DMX
controller. One COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8
becomes the master when running an Auto
or Custom program, or by being in a Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave
mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure
the master and slaves.
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,
download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
