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 fixture’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition,
limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

AC Power The COLORado™ 1 IP has an auto-ranging power supply that can work 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 guide, the product’s user manual, or on the product’s sticker.
Always connect the COLORado™ 1 IP 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™ 1 IP
see the label affixed to
the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding
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 “Sizing the Circuit Breakers” document
from the CHAUVET® Web site.
Never connect the COLORado™ 1 IP 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
Each COLORado™ 1 IP has IP66 rated cords for Power In and Power Out with
proprietary IP66 connectors.
These power cords access the sealed body of the fixture
through IP66 cable glands. To allow connection to power outlets, the fixture comes with
a power input cord with a proprietary IP66 connector on one end and an Edison plug on
the other end (US market). In case you need to replace the Edison plug on the power

Connection Wire (US) Wire (Europe) IP66 Pin Screw Color
AC Live Black Brown 1 Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue 2 Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow 3 Green
Power Linking
The COLORado™ 1 IP supports power linking for up to 12 other COLORado™ 1 IP
fixtures at 120 VAC. The fixture also comes with an IP66 power linking cord to allow
direct connection between fixtures.
Fuse Replacement
The COLORado™ 1 IP fixture has no external fuse that the user can change. However,
it does have an internal fuse that only an authorized CHAUVET® technician should
change.
DMX Linking
You may link any COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1 IP
fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
The COLORado™ 1 IP comes with two adapter cables, one from proprietary IP66
to 3-pin DMX In and the other from proprietary IP66 to 3-pin DMX Out. In addition,
it comes with a signal linking cable with proprietary IP66 connectors on both
ends.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 1 IP uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes,
TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, ARC2, AR2 + D, AR2 + S, and HSV.
You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief
description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX
Values section (individual channel values).

Setup
COLORado™ 1 IP User Manual Rev. 01c -7-
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to control one or more
COLORado™ 1 IP fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the
“master” when running an Auto or Custom program as well as when in STATIC mode.
The controlled fixtures are the “slaves” and you must set them to “SLAVE” mode from
their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will
operate in unison with the master fixture.
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial
connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures 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.
ID Addressing
The COLORado™ 1 IP uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of
addressable fixtures in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. Refer to
the Operation chapter in this manual to learn in detail how to configure the
COLORado™ 1 IP fixtures when using ID Addressing. If you are not familiar with the
various connection methods when using ID Addressing, you may download the “DMX
Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
Lens
Replacement
The COLORado™ 1 IP comes with the 15°lens assembly pre-installed from the factory.
However, there is an optional lens kit (CLENS3042) available as an accessory, which
will alter the beam angle of the fixture to 30º.
Follow the instructions below to to change or replace the LED lens assembly.
a) Disconnect the fixture from the AC power before opening it.
b) This procedure gives you direct access to the LEDs, which are very fragile.
Use maximum care when handling the lenses over the LED assembly.
The numbers in parenthesis in the procedure below correspond to the parts
indicated in the Exploded View section of the Technical Information chapter.
Procedure
a) Remove the gel frame holder by removing the four Phillips screws (not shown).
b) Remove the front cover (1) by removing the eight Allen screws that hold it in place.
c) Remove the rubber seal (2) and the glass cover (3). The rubber seal may be a
separate ring or it may come mounted around the glass cover. Use caution,
because the glass is loose under the front cover and it may fall.
d)
After removing the glass cover, remove the Phillips #2 screws that hold the lens
assembly in place.
e) Remove the existing lens assembly and replace it with the new lens assembly.
f) Reverse the process to complete the lens replacement.
After replacing the lenses, make sure that the fixture is completely sealed (IP66
rating) before installing it outdoors. Otherwise, you will void the fixture’s
warranty and risk damaging the fixture permanently.

TOUR Notes
These notes intent to clarify the way the TOUR DMX personality works.
Master Dimmer
•Channel 1 controls the intensity of the currently projected color.
•When the slider is at the highest position (255) the intensity of the output is at its
maximum.
Red, Green, Blue, &
White Color
Selection
•Channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, Blue,
and White LEDs.
•When the slider is at the highest position (255), the intensity of each color is at its
maximum.
•You can combine channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 to create over four billion colors.
Color Macros
•Channel 6 selects the required Color Macro.
•Channel 6 has priority over channels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
•Channel 1 controls the intensity of the Color Macro.
Strobe
•Channel 7 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2~6.
•Channel 7 strobes channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 when not running macros, allowing the
individual faders (R, G. B, and W) as well as channel 1 (D) to control the output
intensity.
•Channel 7 strobes channel 6 when running macros, allowing channel 6 to select
the macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto
•Channel 8 selects the preset auto programs AT. 01~10 or the custom programs
CUS. 01~10.
•When activating the custom programs CUS. 01~10, it is possible to control the Step
Time and Fade Time using channels 2 and 3 respectively.
•Channel 8 has priority over channels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Dimmer Speed •Channel 10 is for selecting the dimmer mode and speed. When Dimmer is set to
Off,the Red, Green, Blue, White, and Dimmer outputs are linear with the faders.
Otherwise,
Dim1
is the fastest dimmer curve, while
Dim4
is the slowest.
ID Address
Selection
•Channel 11 selects the target ID address.
•Each independent DMX address may have up to 66 independent ID addresses.
•Setting channel 11 to
0
activates all ID address locations.
