•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, contact
CHAUVET® Technical Support.
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 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to
an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also
help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

AC Power
Each COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour has an auto-ranging power supply that works
with an input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power
requirements for each COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour
, refer to the label affixed to the
product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
For more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET
®
website: www.chauvetpro.com.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product 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™ Deco Quad 1 Tour comes with a power input cord terminated with a
proprietary connector on one end and an Edison plug
on the other end (U.S. market). If
the power input cord that came with your product has no plug, or if you need to change
the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

DMX Linking
You can link the COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour to a DMX controller using a standard
DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the
COLORado™
Deco Quad 1 Tour, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for tor,
A1, A1.d, A2, A2.d, A2.S, and hSU DMX modes.
•Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ Deco
Quad 1 Tour to work in these modes.
•The DMX Values
section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour (the “master
product”) to control one or more COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour
s (the “slave products”)
without a DMX controller. One COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour
becomes the master
product when running an Auto or Custom program, or by being in STA mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in SLA
mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the maste
r
product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards,
Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX
controller, download the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website
www.chauvetpro.com.

TOUR Notes
These notes clarify the way the tor DMX personality works.
Master Dimmer
•Channel 1 controls the intensity of the currently projected color.
•When the slider is at the highest position (100%), the intensity of the output is at
maximum.
Red, Green, Blue, and
White Color Selection
•Channels 2 through 5 control the intensity ratio of each of the Red, Green, Blue, and
White LEDs.
•When these channels are at the highest position (100%
), the intensity of each color is
at maximum if SEt > CoL is OFF.
•You can combine channels 2 through 5 to create over one trillion colors.
Color Macros
•Channel 6 selects the required Color Macro.
•Channel 6 has priority over channels 2 through 6.
•
Channel 1 controls the intensity of the Color Macro.
Strobe
•Channel 7 controls the strobe frequency (not the intensity) of channels 2 through 6.
•Channel 7 can strobe channels 2 through 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 can strobe channel 6 when running macros, allowing channel 6 to select
the macro and channel 1 to control the output intensity.
Auto/Custom
•Channel 8 selects the preset auto programs A.01~10 Channel 8 has priority over
channels 2 through 7.
•Channel 9 controls the speed at which each auto program plays.

Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency.
As a rule, clean this product 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.
To clean your product:
•Unplug the product from power.
•Wait until the product has cooled.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external vents and accessible internal components.
•Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol.
•Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
•Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
