AC Power
Warning! Verify that the power requirement label on your unit matches the line voltage
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
•To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
•A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.
•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.
•Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s
requirement.
•All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Mounting
Orientation
This fixture can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat surface using
the brackets provided.
Rigging
The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which 1 rigging clamp can
be bolted and (2) Flush Mount Brackets for flush mounting to flat
surfaces. You must supply your own clamp and make sure the
clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. You can
order C-clamps from any CHAUVET dealer or distributor.
1. Block access below the work area and use suitable and
stable platform when installing or servicing fixture.
2. Align the clamp screw with the center hole on the yoke
and tighten.
3. Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-
be installed fixtures.
4. Adjust the angle on the yoke arm as necessary.
5. Always use a safety cable or chain as a secondary source
of attachment. The safety cable must hold 10 times the
weight of the fixture. If safety cable attachment point is
provided that is permanently affixed to the surface or body
of the fixture, use that instead of looping through a hanging yoke/arm.
Flush Mounting
1. Draw a screw hole template on a large piece of vellum or transparent paper for best
alignment.
2. Place paper against the mounting surface and drill holes or mark the surface for drilling.
3. Hang Panel.

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.
The ST-3000LED Techno Strobe uses 3 channels of DMX control.
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
Standalone/Master-Slave Fixture Linking
1. Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin connector
of the first fixture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3-pin
connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

4. Operating Instructions
The ST-3000LED is a DMX-512 controllable, flash LED panel made up of highly efficient and super
bright white LEDs. The ST-3000LED can operate in Stand-Alone, Master/Slave and via DMX-512
control utilizing 3 channels.
Standalone Mode
The ST-3000LED can be operated without a DMX controller
in a standalone mode. It can be operated as a single fixture or together with several other ST-
3000LED fixtures in what is called a “Master/Slave” configuration.
Single-Fixture Mode
The ST-3000 LED Techno Strobe can be set to operate independently of other fixtures or a DMX
controller in either a sound-active or automatic mode. A serial data-link is not necessary for this mode
of operation and it is recommended that no connection to other fixtures be made at all.
1. Simply choose from any one of 10 built-in “DIPswitch Options” from the table below.
Master-Slave Mode
A master-slave mode setup consists of more than one fixture connected in a serial data link without
the use of a controller. In a master-slave operation the slave fixtures will synchronize and will behave
either identically or in a planned chase pattern to the master unit which must be the first in the serial
daisy chain. A Master-Slave ST-3000LED system can consist of an unlimited range of fixtures or at
least the number stated to conform to EIA-485 standards.
Setup
1. The ST-3000LED sets up automatically for Master-Slave, no DIP-switch settings are required
other than for selecting DIP-switch Options.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the DMX IN input connector of the Slave fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin
connector. Continue the loop from DMX OUT to DMX IN.

Returns
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #).
Products returned without an RMA # will be refused.
Call CHAUVET and request an RMA # prior to shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model
number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the return.
Once you have received the RMA number, please include the following information on a piece of
paper inside the box:
•Your name
•Your address
•Your phone number
•RMA number
•A brief description of the problem
Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging will
be the customer’s responsibility. FedEx packing or double-boxing are recommended.
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage,
must be made within 7 days of receiving merchandise.
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which thefixture operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
