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-Tri Tour 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-Tri Tour
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-Tri Tour 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.
Please refer to the Sizing the Circuit Breakers section in the Appendix chapter of this
manual.
Never connect the COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour 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
The COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour comes with a power input
cord terminated with a
NEUTRIK® powerCON A connector on one end an Edison plug on the other end (US
market). If the power cord that came with your fixture has no plug or you need to
change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.
Connection Wire (US) Wire (Europe) Screw Color
AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green
Power Linking
The COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour supports power linking for up to 12 other COLORado™
1-Tri Tour fixtures at 120 VAC. Each COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour has NEUTRIK®
powerCON sockets for Power In and Power Out. Although the fixture comes with a
power input cord, it comes with no power linking cord.
Fuse Replacement
The COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour 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.

Setup
COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour User Manual Rev. 01j -7-
DMX Linking
You may link any COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour fixture to a DMX controller using a standard
DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1-
Tri Tour 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-Tri Tour fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour uses the DMX data connection for its DMX modes,
TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, AR1 + 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).
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour fixture to control one or
more COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour 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.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.
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.
ID Addressing
The COLORado™ 1-Tri Tour 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-Tri Tour fixtures when using ID Addressing.

individual faders (R, G, and B) as well as channel 1 (D) to control the output
intensity.
•Channel 6 strobes channel 5 when running macros, allowing channel 5 to select
the macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto •Channel 7 selects the preset Auto programs AT. 01~10 or the custom Auto
programs CUS. 01~10.
•When activating the custom Auto programs CUS. 01~10, it is possible to control the
Step Time and Fade Time using channels 2 and 3 respectively.
•Channel 7 has priority over channels 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6.
Dimmer Speed
•Channel 9 is for selecting the dimmer mode and speed. When Dimmer is set to Off,
the R, G, B, and Dimmer outputs are linear with the faders. Otherwise, Dim1 is the
fastest dimmer curve, while Dim4 is the slowest.
ID Address
Selection
•Channel 10 selects the target ID address.
•Each independent DMX address may have up to 66 independent ID addresses.
•An ID address of 0will activate all ID address locations.

5. Technical Information
General
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a
month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating.
This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using
normal glass cleaning fluid.
To clean a fixture, follow the below recommendations:
•Unplug the fixture from power.
•Wait until the fixture is cold.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected
on the external vents and reachable internal components.
•Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the
outside of the lens.
•Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
•When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
If the fixture has one or more cooling fans, refrain from spinning them using
compressed air.
