Safety Instructions
Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that
they also receive this instruction booklet.
Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the line voltage you are
connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the fixture.
The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm) from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to
replace with same lamp source.
Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain. Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use
its carrying handles.
Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104°F (40°C). Do not operate fixture at temperatures higher
than this.
In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the
unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please
contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.
Never connect the device to a dimmer pack.
Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.
Do not daisy chain power to more than 25 units @120volts.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or
attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service,
please contact CHAUVET at: 954-929-1115.
Caution! After prolonged periods of operation, the fixture chassis may reach high
temperatures. Use caution when handling this fixture.
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the
acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in
ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest
intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to
50,000 hours will be achieved under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan
expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This
may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity
Please read these instructions carefully, which includes important
information about the installation, usage and maintenance of this
product.

3. SETUP
AC Power
This fixture has an auto-switching switch-mode power supply that can accommodate a wide range of
input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line
voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate
between 100V and 240V AC 50-60 Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
This fixture is designed for power linking from one COLORado™ Panel to another COLORado™
Panel fixture. Each fixture ships with IP-66 proprietary power input cables. Each fixture ships with a
power adapter to Male Edison connector.
Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
Depending on the application, the lighting fixture may require a different connector Please refer to the
below wire color code if installing a new connector.

Lens Assembly Installation/Replacement
The COLORado™Panel comes with 15 lens assembly pre-installed from the factory. However, there are 2 other
optional lens kits (CL18X10, CL18X30) available as accessories, which will alter the beam angle. Please follow the
below instructions for proper replacement/installation.
1.
2.
1. Remove the front, glass UV cover (black) by removing the screws that hold it in place. There are
14 screws to remove for this step.
2. After removing the glass cover, remove the screws that hold the lens assembly in place.
Note: use care when performing this procedure, as this gives you direct access to
the LEDs, which are very fragile.
3. You now should have full access to the lens assembly. This must be removed and the old lenses
must be replaced with the new lenses. The same assembly is to be reinstalled with the new
lenses in place and the process is complete.
Warning! 1. When replacing the lens assembly, please make sure that the power is
disconnected from the fixture beforehand.
2. You must also be VERY CAREFUL when opening this fixture. Improper handling
on the behalf of the user may void the IP-66 rating of this fixture.

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.
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.
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 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 –140 ohms
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
may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct
polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield
or each other.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control Options
The COLORado™ Panel is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control form,
this allows for the control of up to 56 fixtures in the 9-channel Stage1 personality; however, a
secondary “ID” address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and architectural
environments. The “ID” address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same
DMX address; in effect, multiplying the control of COLORado’s™ within a single universe to 3,696
fixtures. The COLORado’s™ “ID” address system is accessed using DMX channel 9 [Stage 1].
Consideration must be placed when programming live performances or cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line. So, to remain within one second execution time, program no greater than
10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel.
COLORado ™ Control Quick Setup
For detailed instructions on display panel operations and functions please advance to the section
titled; “Display Panel Functions”. These steps assume that you have read and are familiar with
setting up a DMX serial data link.
DMX-512 control without “ID” address
The COLORado™ Panel operates on 9 channels of DMX (“STAGE1” personality). Address each
fixture in increments of 9 channels. (I.e. 1,10,19,28, etc…) To save time you can use the same DMX
address for each fixture. All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may also group
your fixtures and address those groups alike for faster programming and control.
1. Access the control panel function by pressing the (MENU) button until the {RUN MODE} is
displayed.
2. Press (SET) and use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to select {DMX} function.
3. Then, Press (MENU) button until {DMX512 ADDRESS} is displayed.
4. Pres the (SET) button.
6. Use the (UP/DOWN) buttons to increase or decrease channels between 001 and 512.
7. Press the (SET) button to confirm action. Then press (MENU) to exit.
Deactivate ID addressing in each fixture by setting panel function {ID ON/OFF} to OFF.
{MENU} {SETTINGS} {ID ON/OFF} [OFF]
Notes: If ID addressing is not deactivated in the fixture’s control panel function,
unintended results may occur if values are present in channel 9. Make
sure values on channel 9 are set to “0”.

DMX 512 Controller
The figure above shows a simple DMX layout which has used three units at each
DMX address. The three units have different ID addresses which allows the user to
collectively control the whole group of units at that DMX address by setting Channel
10 to 0, or to control each unit independently by first selecting the DMX address and
then by using Channel 10 to locate the target ID address. (Note that when using ID
addresses it is also possible to activate ADAS which allows for even more option with
DMX addressing and control.

Setting the DMX address
Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. 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 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would
read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the
channels used do not overlap and note the start address selected for future reference. The
COLORado™ Panel uses up to9 channels of DMX. If this is your first time using DMX, we
recommend reading the DMX Primer in the Appendix Section.

Over Heat Protection
The COLORado™ Panel has a built-in temperature sensor. In the event that the temperature on the LED’s
exceeds 55°C, the LED’s will begin to gradually dim. This will reduce the current going to the LED’s, and
cause the fixture to draw less power.
Note: this is just a protection built into the fixture, and it is very unlikely for the fixture to
reach these extreme temperatures. If this does initiate, it would likely only be in the
Hyper™Color mode in extreme ambient temperatures.
