Green Fuse Replacement The COLORado™ 1 Tour fixture has no external fuse that the user can change. However, it does have an internal fuse that only an authorized CHAUVET® technician should change. DMX Linking If you are using the COLORado™ 1 Tour with a DMX controller, you can link them using a regular DMX serial connection.
Setup Master/Slave The Master/Slave mode allows one COLORado™ 1 Tour (the master) running a preconfigured program to control several other COLORado™ 1 Tour fixtures (the Linking slaves) without requiring a DMX controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture.
This fixture includes a mounting yoke to which you can attach one or two rigging clamps. You must supply your own “C” or “O” clamps and make sure that they are capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. CHAUVET® recommends using at least two mounting points per fixture.

Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear. CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

Appendix 6. Appendix DMX Primer The DMX protocol (USITT DMX512-A) is a networking protocol that enables a universal DMX controller device to control the features of multiple DMX compatible fixtures, whether par cans, wash lights, moving heads, followspots, foggers, proprietary fixture controllers, etc.
DMX signal. DMX Data You must use DMX compliant data cables to link two or more DMX compatible fixtures. You may purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor Cabling or construct your own cable. USITT recommends limiting the total length of the DMX cable (from the first fixture/controller to the last fixture) to 300~455 m (985~1,500 ft).
Appendix DMX Connectivity (Cont.) DMX Cable Each DMX cable must have a male, 3-pin XLR connector on one end and a female, 3- pin XLR connector on the other end. Connectors DMX Connector Configuration To DMX Input To DMX Output (Female) (Male) Common...

Controlle Other DMX Compatible First Fixtures Third Second Generic Cable Cable Cable DMX Data Connection Diagram DMX Fixture DMX Fixture Master/Slave The Master/Slave mode allows one fixture (the master) to run a preconfigured program to control several other fixtures of the same model (the slaves) without requiring a DMX Linking controller.
Appendix ID Addressing ID Addressing is a sub-addressing method by which each fixture, apart from its starting address, can also have an “ID” address in the 1~66 range. This allows users to multiply the number of fixtures they can control with a single DMX controller. Many fixtures have at least one DMX personality or mode that enables ID addressing.
