Replacing Fuses
If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. does not
illuminate after replacing the lamp. Then it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.
Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
In order to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply first, and then unscrew the
fuseholder cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which indicates the correct fuse
rating and you will also find this listed as part of the specifications for the unit later in this guide. It
is most important that replacement fuses are of the correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse
could damage the lighting effect beyond economic repair.
The fuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced, when this is
done connect to the main power supply to check. If the unit is still not working then please contact
your dealer or CHAUVET for servicing.
Caution
Do not touch unit or lamps while hot.
No user serviceable parts inside, please refer to CHAUVET for service.
Power Connections
The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage and destination. Should any other
connections be required they must be carried out with the following configuration.
Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable
In the USA & Europe, it is required that all plugs are 3-pin type i.e. with Earth/Ground connection.
In the UK, it is required that all mains plugs are fitted with 5A fuses.

Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will
enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we
have prepared this short guide.
Setting-Up
This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz
or 230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage.
Check the label and the power plug for the correct voltage before switching on.
As this unit is a linkable head it can only be used in conjunction with a master head from any of
the CH-208 Rotating Moons, CH210 Tracer, CH-211 Starburst or CH-214 Tetra 4-head systems.
Before use for the first time you must install the lamp (see ‘Replacing Lamps’ for details). Once
this is done decide on your location and link to the master head (see ‘Linking’ and diagram –
fig.2).
Operation
The operation of this unit is determined by the settings on the master head. The user guide for
any of the CH-208 Rotating Moons, CH-210 Tracer or CH-211 Starburst 4-head systems explains
the available functions in detail.
Installation / Mounting
Although this unit can be used in an upright position. It is recommended that, for safety purposes,
your lighting effects be properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable.
CHAUVET offers a range of items, which are ideal for safe mounting.
Replacing Lamps
1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace lamps or fuses.
2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
3. Never touch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.
In order to replace the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first, and unscrew the lamp
replacement cover, which is highlighted on the diagram (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated
lamp as use of any other lamp type may cause the unit to be non-operational.
Due to the nature of halogen lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new
replacement lamp with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again a
tissue or cloth can be used for fitting the replacement lamp. Finally before switching on, check
that the lamp is housed correctly in the lamp holder and that the lamp replacement cover has
been screwed back into place.
If after replacement of the lamp, the unit is still not working then please contact your dealer or
CHAUVET for servicing.
Linking
With the cables provided you can link one master with fifteen linkable heads for synchronized
control from the master head, see diagram (fig.2). The socket is such that it will only allow you to
plug the cable in the correct way, once connection has been made a twistlock mechanism
secures the cable firmly in place. Any number of linkable heads may be linked in this way,
provided the master head is first in the chain.
Once the heads have been linked correctly, as shown, then it is necessary to select the
appropriate channel for each head. On the rear of each ‘linkable’ unit you will find a rotary
selector which has positions 1 to 4 clearly marked.
With this you can designate which head will synchronize with another i.e. all heads selected as ‘2’
will light together, all those selected as ‘3’ will light together, etc. This is particularly useful if you
have a multi-head system, for example, 8 heads linked together would mean you could have 2 of
each channel selected.
The beauty of the CHAUVET ‘multi-link’ operation is the compatibility with other models and
systems in the range. See diagram (fig.2) for a list of all the products which you can hook up
together in this way. A great way to improve your lightshow at little cost!
Cleaning
The most important part of your lighting effects to keep clean are the lenses as they allow the
light output to transmit. These should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of the units
may also be cleaned in the same way. We recommend internal cleaning be carried out by a fully
qualified technician.
Maintenance & Servicing
Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers
other than the lamp replacement access is considered a breach of warranty and will not be
covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by the company.
Troubleshooting
• If unit is not functional – check main power supply is ‘on’ and check fuses.
• If unit does not light – check head selector switch is correctly set, if ok, then lamp or fuse may
require replacing.
If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact your dealer or CHAUVET.
