Page 8: Setup
3. SETUP AC Power This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate between 100V and 240V AC 50-60 Hz. -
Page 9: Mounting
The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which a rigging clamp can be attached. You must supply your own clamp and make sure the clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. You can order “C” and “O”-clamps from any CHAUVET dealer or distributor (CLP-15, CLP-06 recommended). -
Page 10: Fixture Connection
Fixture Connection The fixture may be stacked together horizontally to create a strip light or vertically for a blinder effect. This can be used for runway lighting or cycloramas. With the different methods of bracket mounting, this turns this fixture into a very versatile lighting tool. -
Page 11: Lens Assembly Installation/Replacement
Lens Assembly Installation/Replacement The COLORdash™ Batten comes with 15 lens assembly pre-installed from the factory. However, there is 1 other optional lens kit (CL20X30) available as accessories, which will alter the beam angle. These each come in packages of 20pcs each. Therefore, if you have a fixture that has more than 20 LEDs (such as the COLORdash™ Batten), then be sure to take this into account. -
Page 12: Fixture Linking
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures Data Cabling To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-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. -

Page 16: Setting The Dmx Address
Setting the DMX address Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. -
Page 17: Upload Customs
Upload Customs The custom programs in the COLORdash™ Batten may be copied from one fixture to another, thus giving the ability to have to only program them on a single fixture, and then duplicate this on several others. This is accessed in the Control Panel as “Upload”. Follow the below steps for this process. -
