Lamp Installation
You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the
unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Lamp Installation
1. Remove screws labeled (S1) and pull out lamp
socket plate.
2. If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first.
3. Release the retaining clips as shown on figure 1.
Both the lamp along with the socket will be
released.
4. Detach the lamp from the socket and replace the
lamp.
5. Place the lamp back into the lamp cage and secure
the clips back in place.
6. There is no lamp alignment since the lamp is already
optimized inside a mirrored dichroic reflector.
7. Insert lamp socket plate back into the rear of the fixture and tighten
screws to complete installation.

Hanging Clamp
Mounting
Orientation
This fixture can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat surface using
the brackets provided.
Rigging
The fixture includes two brackets with ¼ turn locks for attaching a
standard truss mounting hanging clamp. You must supply your own
clamp and make sure the clamp is capable of supporting the weight
of this fixture. You can order C-clamps from any CHAUVET dealer
or distributor.
1. Block access below the work area and use suitable and
stable platform when installing or servicing fixture.
2. Align the clamp screw with the center hole on the yoke and
tighten.
3. Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-be
installed fixtures.
4. Adjust the angle on the yoke arm as necessary.
5. Always use a safety cable or chain as a secondary source of
attachment. The safety cable must hold 10 times the weight
of the fixture. If safety cable attachment point is provided
that is permanently affixed to the surface or body of the
fixture, use that instead of looping through a hanging
yoke/arm.
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 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.
The DMX-680 fixtures use 7 channels of DMX control.
Important: 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 devices 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 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
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.

Setup
DMX-680 User Manual 9 2006-10-10/18:04
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 will
have the following characteristics:
•2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
•Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
•Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
•Maximum resistance of 20Ω/ 1000 ft.
•Nominal impedance 100 - 140Ω
Cable Connectors
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
CAUTION Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop and your fixture to perform erratically. Test
cables with OHM meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or
shorted to the shield or each other.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart
Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin
to 3 pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M.

Stand-Alone, Master-Slave (N-So, N-SL, N-Au)
A master-slave mode setup consists of more than one fixture connected in a serial data link without
the use of a controller. In a master-slave operation the slave fixtures will synchronize and will behave
either identically or in a planned chase pattern to the master unit which must be the first in the serial
daisy chain. A Master-Slave system can consist of an unlimited range of fixtures or at least the
number stated to conform to EIA-485 standards.
MENU OPTION DESCRIPTION
Sound Active – Master Unit: Sets the fixture to Master status for Master-Slave operation and the
built in programs will be triggered by the sound. No data link is required; all fixtures can be set to
this mode for Stand-alone operation.
Sound Active – Slave Unit: Sets the fixture to run in sync with the Master. You must set the first
fixture in the data link to “Master” otherwise nothing will happen.
Stand Alone – Automatic: The built in programs will trigger automatically to a pre-programmed
speed time.
DMX Addressing (A.d.d.r.)
DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture
requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. 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 occupies or uses 6 channels of DMX 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 notate the start address selected for future
reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.
Note: In order to operate in DMX control mode you must first set the fixture to operate in this
mode by setting the N-dN option in the Mode (NodE) function.
Setting the start address
1. Press the <Fun> button until Addr appears on the Display. Press
the <Enter> button to select.
2. Use the <Down> and <Up> buttons to increase or decrease
channel values until the desired start channel value is located.
Four small LEDs dots will blink during the selection process.
3. Press the <Enter> button to accept the new start channel. The
four small LED dots will cease to blink to confirm selection.

DMX-680 User Manual 15 2006-10-10/18:04
5. Appendix
DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A
fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 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+). CHAUVET
carries 3-pin XLR DMX compliant cables, DMX-10 (33’), DMX-4.5 (15’) and DMX-1.5 (5’)
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 Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # 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 properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe
method to use.
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.
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.

Appendix
DMX-680 User Manual 16 2006-10-10/18:04
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. 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. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and 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 surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
