4. Operating Instructions 10 8/9/2010 11:50 AM
Configuring the Starting Address
Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a
fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read
data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for
each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap. In addition, you should note the starting
address selected for future reference.
The COLORstrip™ Mini fixture uses four DMX channels. If this is your first time using DMX, we
recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix”.
DMX Operation
This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must
set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended
that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual.

7. Press <Enter>.
Master/Slave Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode)
This is the operating mode which will allow one fixture to act as the “master” and control all of the
other “slave” fixtures. You must link the fixtures together using DMX cables.
1. Connect the master/slave out of the first fixture to the DMX in of the first slave fixture.
2. The slave fixture will automatically change to the slave mode. The display will read
“
L05 ”. Each unit will have an ascending number, increasing by 4. This is automatically
set.
3. Plug the third unit into the master/slave out of the first slave. The display will read
“
L09 ”.
4. Set the master unit to either Sound-Active or Auto Mode.
5. Once all the slave fixtures have been connected and powered, activate
SYS > SAAd
on from the control panel to confirm that all the slave fixtures have been properly
recognized.
Only one fixture may be set to master.
Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operating mode.
It does not matter which DMX mode is selected for the slave fixtures. Either mode will be
effective.

5. Appendix 14 8/9/2010 11:50 AM
5.APPENDIX
DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A
fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user
must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the
controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in
the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose
starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type
using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or
operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture.
The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a
controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most
direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin
XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-)
and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

Technical Support.

5. Appendix 15 8/9/2010 11:50 AM
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the
number of fixtures the data link can support.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 fixtures should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 m (1640 ft)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified
DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create
your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less
prone to electromagnetic interference.
DMX Data Cable
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485
applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances.
The cable must have the following characteristics:
Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair
Maximum capacitance between conductors: 30 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance: 20 ohms/1000 ft
Nominal impedance: 100 ~ 140 ohms

5. Appendix 16 8/9/2010 11:50 AM
Cable Connectors
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR
connector on the other end.
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding
the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test
cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not
grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Setting the Starting Address
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a
start address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the
data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses six DMX
channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,
101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap,
and note the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, we suggest jumping
to the “Appendix” section and reading the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful
information that will help you understand its use.

General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently.
Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule,
fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance
and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear.
Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.
•Unplug fixture from power.
•Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external
vents.
•Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl
Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.
•Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.
•Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize
light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates.
Damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the
unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Clean the external optics at
least every 20 days. Clean the fixture at least every 30/60 days.
Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.
Never spin a fan using compressed air.
Returns Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing; call tags will not be
issued. Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandize Authorization Number (RMA
#). Products returned without the RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request an RMA #
prior to shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief
description of the cause for the return. Be sure to pack fixture properly; any shipping damage
resulting from inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper
UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. CHAUVET reserves the right to
use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s).
If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of paper
inside the box:
1) Your name
2) Your address
3) Your phone number
4) The RMA #
5) A brief description of the symptoms
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore, the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify
and submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any
other claim for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and
concealed damage, must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
