3.SETUP
AC Power
The Shocker™ 90 IRC has an auto-
ranging power supply and it can work with an input
voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s
power
requirements (
circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the
label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product
’s specifications chart. The
listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit
(circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product
has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect the 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
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
Power Linking The product provides power linking via the Edison
outlet located in the back of the unit.
Please see the diagram below for further explanation.
Power Linking
Diagram
You can power link up to 20 Shocker™ 90 IRC unit
s on 120 VAC or up to
36 Shocker™ 90 IRC units on 230 VAC.
The power linking diagram corresponds to the North American version of the
product ONLY! If using the product
in other markets, you must consult with the
local Chauvet
distributor as power linking connectors and requirements may differ
in your country or region.

Mounting
Before mounting the product
, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Shocker™ 90 IRC
may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate
ventilation is provided around the product.
Rigging
•Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access
to the product for maintenance and programming purposes.
•Make sure that the structure onto which you are mounting the product can support the
product’s weight. See the Technical Specifications for weight information.
•When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product
securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
•When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp
of appropriate weight
capacity.
•When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for
power
linking cables to reach.
•The bracket adjustment
knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.

DMX Linking
The Shocker™ 90 IRC
works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the
CHAUVET® DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website
http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
Configuration
(DMX)
Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input
socket on the product.
Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the
selected DMX mode uses. If you
choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
The Shocker™ 90 IRC uses up to 8 DMX channels,
which defines the highest configurable
address to 505.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU>repeatedly until the desired DMX mode (2-CH, 5-CH, or 8-CH) shows
on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d 0-d512 will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Shocker™ 90 IRC
(the master) to control the
actions of one or more Shocker™ 90 IRC products
(the slaves) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master will be set to operate in either Custom or Sound-Active mode
, or an
auto program, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode. On
ce set and
connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until one of the DMX modes shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d1-d512 will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
Master unit:
1. Set the master to operate in either Custom or Sound-Active mode, or an auto
program.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
•Configure all the slave units before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
•Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

5.MAINTENANCE
Product
Maintenance
Dust build-
up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead
to reduction of the light source’s life and/or
mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting product
s at least twice a month.
However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors
to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on the external surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass
cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning
tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
