Expected LED
Lifespan
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. LEDs packaged in
clusters exhibit higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. Using clustered LEDs at their
fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan, which under normal circumstances
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.

DMX Linking
DMX Linking
Diagram
DMX Linking connects Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels through their DMX input and output ports. The
Nexus™ Aw 7x7 has both 3- and 5-pin DMX ports, so either 3- or 5-pin cables, or a
combination of both, can be used. DMX Linking is for DMX controllers and for Master/Slave
mode.

DMX Mode
Master/Slave
Mode
In DMX mode, Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels are controlled by a DMX controller, and the DMX
address and DMX personality must be set through the control panel.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses its control source. When there is a DMX cable
plugged in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller, or Master/Slave. When there is an
etherCON® cable plug in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects an IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or
Kling-Net.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 has 3 DMX personalities, each with different capabilities. The table
below lists the capabilities of each personality. For more information, see DMX Address and
DMX Personality in the Menu Operations section of this manual.

In Master/Slave mode one Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panel (the master) controls one or more
Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels (the slaves) without a DMX controller. The master panel is set to an
auto program, or static color and sends DMX to the slaves so they do the same thing. For
more information, see Master/Slave Mode in the Menu Operations section of this manual.
•Do not connect a DMX controller to the DMX chain when operating Nexus™ Aw 7x7
products in Master/Slave mode, because signals from the master and the DMX controller will
conflict and cause erratic behavior in all the products.
•Master/Slave operates via DMX ports only. The etherCON® ports cannot be used for
Master/Slave mode.
For more information about DMX, see the DMX Primer by Chauvet, available at
www.chauvetlighting.com

Ethernet
Connections
Ethernet
Connections
Diagram
Kling-Net Mode
Art-Net™ Mode
Ethernet connections link Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to routers and each other through their
etherCON® ports. Ethernet connections are for running TCP/IP-protocol-based control
system, such as Kling-Net and Art-Net®. All etherCON® ports can be either input or output,
and panels can be linked to each other, but the start of each chain of panels must be a router
port, and there should be no more than 12 Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels linked off of one router
port.
Do not connect Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to the WAN port of the router.
Kling-Net is a network protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX over a network and into the
Neutrik® etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Kling-Net works
seamlessly with Kling-Net-supported ArKaos software for configuring and mapping display
devices. For more information, see Kling-Net Configuration.
Kling-Net requires a gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet card and network router.
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX signals over a network and
into the etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Art-Net™ requires
configuration through the control panel. For more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols
and Art-Net™.
For more information about Art-Net™, see the Art-Net™ protocol document available on the
Chauvet web site at www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels do not work with Art-Net™ controllers sending in Broadcast
mode. For information about the controller’s mode, see the controller’s user manual.

Setting
Modes And
Protocols
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses whether control is coming from a DMX source, or a
Network source. When there is an etherCON® cable plug into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects
a TCP/IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or Kling-Net, depending on the setting in the control
panel. If there is a DMX cable plugged into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller
or Master/Slave control, depending on the settings in the control panel.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 can receive control from only one set of ports, either the DMX ports or
the etherCON® ports. The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 senses which ports are used on power-up, so the
panel cannot be changed from DMX to TCP/IP, or from TCP/IP to DMX while it is turned on.
To switch from one set of ports to another (one control type to another), unplug the Nexus™
Aw 7x7 panel, switch the cables, and then plug the panel in again.
A DMX personality must be set for all modes, DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net. For more
information, see DMX Personality
Kling-Net has no settings to configure, but it must be selected through the control panel. For
more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols and Kling-Net
Art-Net™ has a number of settings that must be configured through the control panel. For
more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols and Art-Net™.
When a DMX controller is sending signal to the DMX ports and there is nothing in the
etherCON® ports, any Ethernet settings in the control panel will be ignored.
When aTCP/IP controller is sending signal to the etherCON® ports and there is nothing in the
DMX ports, the DMX personality will be recognized by the TCP/IP controller.
Do not connect both DMX and etherCON® cables, use one or the other.
