3.Setup And Installation
AC Power
The Next™ NXT-1 has an internal, auto-ranging power supplies that works with an input
voltage range of 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for the
Next™ NXT-1 refer to the label affixed to the product or Technical Specifications.
The current draw listed in Technical Specifications indicates the maximum current draw
during normal operation. For more information about current draws, download Sizing Circuit
Breakers from the Chauvet website at www.chauvetprofessional.com.
•Always connect this product to a properly grounded and protected
circuit.
•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.
Fuse Replacement
The Next™ NXT-1 uses a T 5 A, 250 V fuse accessible from the back of the product. To
change the fuse, do the following:
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. With a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the
housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.

Power Linking
The Next™ NXT-1 has a Neutrik® powerCON® In and a Neutrik® powerCON® Out for
power linking. The number of Next™ NXT-1 products that can be power linked depends on

Signal Linking
The Next™ NXT-1 can receive DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net signal. The Next™ NXT-1 has 2
Neutrik® etherCON® pass through ports, and 3- and 5-pin DMX In and Out ports.
The Next™ NXT-1 can be signal linked to receive one or the other or both types of cables.
Art-Net™ and Kling-Net Linking
Art-Net™ and Kling-Net signals pass through Ethernet cables and the Neutrik® etherCON®
ports in the back of the product, that accept the Ethernet cable, are auto-sensing, so they can
be either an input port or an output port.
The three LED indicator lights in between the two ports indicate that the Next™ NXT-1 is
connected to a network and that there is activity on the network. These lights are not proof
that the Next™ NXT-1 is receiving signal from a controller.
The diagram below shows Art-Net™ or Kling-Net signal linking for three Next™ NXT-1
products.
DMX Linking
DMX signal passes through DMX cables. The Next™ NXT-1 has both 3- and 5-pin DMX In
ports and DMX Out ports. These ports are not auto-sensing like the Neutrik® etherCON®
ports. They can be only inputs or outputs. However, the 3-pin input works with the 5-pin
output, and vice versa.

Art-Net™ and Kling-Net signals pass through Neutrik® etherCON® cables and the Neutrik®

port or an output port.
DMX signal passes through DMX cables. The Next™ NXT-1 has both 3- and 5-pin DMX In

4.Configuration And Operation
The Next™ NXT-1 is configured through the control panel and operated with a controller. The
type of controller and configuration of the control system along with the intended use of the
Next™ NXT-1 drive the configuration settings.
The Next™ NXT-1 responds to DMX signals. The DMX signals come into the Next™ NXT-1
through the DMX In port, the Neutrik® etherCON® port, or both, depending on the control
system environment.
Control system environments range from simple DMX only environments with a single lighting
controller to complex multi-protocol system with media servers and lighting controllers.
Control Panel
The control panel is on the front of the Next™ NXT-1 and includes an LCD display and four
buttons for moving around the menu structure.

DMX Only Configuration
A DMX-only control system is one where all the control signals run over DMX cables and into
the DMX port of the Next™ NXT-1. Color, intensity, and movement control comes to the
Next™ NXT-1 from a DMX controller.
When using DMX only, the Next™ NXT-1 is a moving head that can be pixel-mapped and
has a variety of built-in effects, including alphanumeric characters. There are a variety of
DMX personalities, using different numbers of channels. The personalities with less channels
have less functionality, but are good for control environments with limited DMX universes.
The personalities with more channels have more functionality, but require many DMX
channels.
For specific information about the functionality of each DMX personality, see DMX
Personalities.
