3. Setup
AC Power The Legend 300E Beam 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 Legend 300E Beam to a protected circuit with an appropriate
electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To determine the power requirements for the Legend 300E Beam see the label affixed to
thesideof thefixture. Alternatively, you mayrefer tothecorresponding 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 Legend 300E Beam 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 Legend 300E Beam comes with a bare ended power input cord
. Thefixtureside of this
power cord enters the fixture through a strain reliever (rubber boot) and it cannot be
disconnected from the fixture. Use the table below to wire the plug to the power cord.
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
Make sure to disconnect the fixture’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse, and
always replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Fuse Replacement
1) With a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder out of its housing and remove
the blown fuse from its holder.
2) Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
3) Reverse step 1 and reconnect power.
DMX Linking
You may link the Legend 300E Beam to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the Legend 300E Beam, it is
possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, you may download the “DMX Primer”
document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DMX Modes
The Legend 300E Beam uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMXModes (Mode
1 and Mode 2). 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
Legend 300E Beam User Manual Rev. 01f -7-
Gobo and Color
Wheels
The Legend 300E Beam has one gobo wheel, which contains seven gobos mounted on
rotating holders. Each rotating gobo occupies its own gobo plate, which is easily removable
from the gobo wheel. The diagram below shows the installed gobos.
The Legend 300E Beam includes a rotating color wheel with seven filters, as shown below.
Gobo
Replacement
The gobos in the Legend 300E Beam’s gobo wheel are removable from their gobo plates.
This operation is quite simple, although it requires the technician to be careful and to follow
the recommended procedure.
•Make sure to disconnect the fixture’s power cord before replacing a gobo
•Always replace a gobo with a gobo of the same dimensions.
•When inserting a glass gobo, always make sure that the shinny side of the gobo
(glass base) faces the lamp. This provides a layer of protection against the high
temperature from the lamp.
Procedure
1) Turn the fixture off and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2) Open the head cover by loosening the four fastening screws at the sides of the top
cover.
3) Separate the gobo plate away from the gobo wheel by pushing it toward the front of
the moving head (direction 1 in the diagram). Be careful not to push the gobo out of
the gobo plate.
4) Extract the gobo plate by pulling it outward (direction 2 in the diagram).
5) On a flat surface, remove the expansion ring that holds the gobo in place and
remove the gobo from the gobo plate.
6) Insert a new gobo and hold it in place with the expansion ring.
7) Slide the tip of the gobo plate under the pressure plate near the center of the gobo
wheel.
8) Push the gobo plate inwards. DO NOT force the gobo plate into the gobo wheel
slot. If correctly installed, the gobo plate should accommodate itself in the gobo
wheel slot.

Lamp
Replacement
The Legend 300E Beam is equipped with a Philips MSR Gold 300/2 lamp.This lamp uses a
socket called FastFit, which allows for fast and easy lamp changes. Follow the procedure
below to safely change the Legend 300E Beam’s lamp.
Procedure
1) Turn the fixture off and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2) Wait at least 15 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
3) Loosen the two screws on the lamp cover (marked “A” in the diagram).
4) Lift and rotate the lamp cover as per the diagram to expose the base of the lamp.
5) Rotate the ceramic base of the lamp 90º counterclockwise.
6) Pull the lamp out by holding it from its base only.
7) Insert the new lamp and turn it 90º clockwise.
8) Reverse steps 3 and 4.
9) Use the adjustment screws (marked “B” in the diagram) to position the lamp in the
center of the reflector to obtain the best output.
Lamp Replacement
Diagram
Increasing the
Lamp’s Life
•ALWAYS turn the lamp off by using the DMX controller or the fixture’s control panel.
Then wait at least five minutes before switching off the fixture. This will keep the
fans running to extract any remaining heat from the fixture’s head.
•DO NOT power cycle the fixture unless it is necessary.
•DO NOT touch the lamp without wearing gloves to avoid leaving grease on the bulb
or on the contacts that could reduce the lamp’s life.
•ALWAYS change the lamp when it has reached its recommended lifespan to avoid
the risk of lamp explosion.
