information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.
Personal Safety
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.
• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.
Mounting and Rigging
• Do not submerge this product (IP65). Temporary outdoor operation is fine.
• When using this product in an outdoor environment, use IP65 (or higher) rated power and data
cables. Secure unused power and data ports with attached IP65 covers.
• CAUTION:Whentransferringproductfrom extreme temperatureenvironments,(e.g.,coldtruck to warm,
humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid causing a
failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.
• Not for permanent outdoor installation in locations with extreme environmental conditions. This
includes, but is not limited to:
• Exposure to a marine/saline environment (within 3 miles of a saltwater body of water).
• Locations where the normal high or low temperatures exceed the temperature ranges in this
manual.
• Locations that are prone to flooding or being buried in snow.
• Areas where the product will be subjected to extreme radiation or caustic substances.
• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent
surfaces.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.
• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.
• The maximum ambienttemperatureis 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the productat higher temperatures.
• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!
Expected LED Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in
clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this
lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting
the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in
this User Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not
open the housing or attempt any repairs.
All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this
product.
If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The STRIKE 1 supports RDM protocol that
allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a STRIKE 1 (the master) to control one or more STRIKE 1 products (the
slaves) without a DMX controller. One STRIKE 1 becomes the master when running an auto program, or
by being in 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.
