Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
DAP Audio DMX Data Cables
●DAP Audio 110 Ohm cable with digital signal transmission. Order code FL0975 (0,75 m),
FL09150 (1,5 m), FL093 (3 m), FL096 (6 m), FL0910 (10 m), FL0915 (15 m), FL0920 (20 m).
●DAP Audio DMX adapter: 5-pin/3-pin. Order code FLA29.
●DAP Audio DMX adapter: 3-pin/5-pin. Order code FLA30.
●DAP Audio DMX Terminator 3-pin. Order code FLA42.
●DAP Audio DMX Terminator 5-pin. Order code FLA43.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec ColorCue 1 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in
liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure that the connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or
supplying electric power.
Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
No Light
If the ColorCue 1 does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the ColorCue 1, the LED fixture.
01) Power supply. Check if the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The ColorCue 1. Return the ColorCue 1 to your Showtec dealer.
03) The LED fixture does not respond to the ColorCue 1. Check the DMX address of the fixture and the
controller. Make sure that they match. Make sure that the connections are correct.
04) If all appears to be OK, plug the unit in again.
05) If nothing happens after 30 seconds, unplug the device.
06) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the ColorCue 1, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
07) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician.
