Mounting and Rigging
• This product is not intended for permanent installation.
• This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this product to
rain or moisture. (IP20)
• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g. cold truck to
warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid
causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting
it to power.
• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent
surfaces.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while it is operating.
• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
• Never carry the product by the power cord.
Power and Wiring
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
• Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage in accordance with the
specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely
disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
• Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.
• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.
Operation
• Do not operate this product if there is damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have the damaged

• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.
• The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher temperatures.
• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!
Expected LED Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in
clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this
lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting
the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in
this User Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not
open the housing or attempt any repairs.
All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this
product.
If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

master.
• The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.
The values of Red, Green, Blue,Amber and Lime configured will define the color
temperature shown when the RGBAL faders are set to 255.
