SETUP
AC Power
The LFS-5D has an internal 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 Technical
Specifications in this manual. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current
draw under normal conditions.
For more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website
:
www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
•Always connect the product to a protected circuit and m
ake sure the product has an
electrical ground.
Fuse
Replacement
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to
unscrew the fuse holder cap from the
housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Insert a new fuse of the exact same type and rating.
5. Use a flathead screwdriver to screw the fuse holder cap into the housing.
6. Reconnect the product to power.
Always replace a blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.
A spare fuse is not included; however, the safety cap has room for a spare.
Dimming
The LFS-5D can be used with any type of dimmer. Using a dimmer controls the intensity of the
light allowing fades up and down.

Power Linking
Power linking is daisy chaining products together through their Power In and Power Out sockets
allowing many products to be powered from one outlet.
Up to 23 LFS-5D products can be power linked at 120 V or up to 45 LFS-5D
products can be
power linked at 230 V.
The diagram below illustrates power-linking.
Power Linking
Diagram
•Do not power link more than 23 LFS-5D at 120 V.
•Do not power link more than 45 LFS-5D at 230 V.
•The power linking diagram above shows the North American version. When
using
the LFS-5D anywhere other than North America, consult with the local Chauvet
distributor for information on local requirements.
Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the recommendations in Safety Notes.
Mount the LFS-5D on, or from, a structure or surface that can support its weight
. For the
product’s weight, see Technical Specifications.
When mounting the LFS-5D overhead secure it to a pipe or truss, using a mounting clamp and
safety cable, such as the CHAUVET® CLP-15 clamp and CH-05 safety cable.
Use the bracket adjustment knobs to aim the LFS-5D as desired, but
loosen or tighten the
bracket knobs manually because using tools can damage the knobs.

OPERATION
Gobos
Gobos make patterns in the light and can be customized for special events. The LFS-5D uses
V size gobos, which are gobos that have a 25.4 mm outside measurement, a 19 mm image
size and a 1 mm maximum thickness.
The following gobos are included, but any gobo of the correct size can be used.
Included Gobos
Changing Gobos
To change the gobos in the LFS-5D, do the following:
1. Turn off and disconnect the product from power.
2. Place the product on a flat, level surface.
3. Loosen the gobo access door knob.
4. Remove the gobo access door by pressing the knob towards the body of the light and
gently popping the short edge of the door up.
5. Pull the gobo holder out of the gobo slot.
6. Gently pry the gobo holder open so the gobo falls out.
7. Keep the gobo holder pried open and insert a different gobo making sure that the gobo sits
in the center of the gobo holder.
8. Slide the gobo holder back into the gobo slot.
9. Replace the gobo access door by putting the wider edge in place and then using the knob
to press the narrow edge down until the door clicks into place.

Gel Frame
The LFS-5D has a gel frame so that gel can be used to color the light. The gel frame is 2 flat
pieces of plastic with 4 little tabs that snap the pieces of plastic together. The gel goes in
between these 2 flat pieces of plastic and the gel frame sits in the gel frame holder at the front
end of the light.
To place gel into the gel frame, do the following
1. Pull the gel frame out of the gel frame holder.
2. Pry the gel frame apart.
3. Place the gel in between the two flat pieces of plastic.
4. Press the gel frame together.
5. Push the gel frame back into the gel frame holder.

Powering On
And Dimming
The LFS-5D comes on when plugged into power because it does not have a power switch.
However the LFS-5D can be connected to any type of dimmer or an in-
line switch for remote

Technical Information
LFS-5D User Manual Rev. 1 Page 11 of 14
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Product
Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. To maintain
optimum performance, clean the product at least twice a month.
However, usage and environmental conditions contribute to increasing 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 and internal surfaces.
The LFS-5D cannot be taken apart for cleaning, so carefully blow dust out of the unit from the
front where the lenses are located and the back where the ventilation fans are located.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because you could damage them.
