COLORado™6 User Manual
Clean the fixture regularly to avoid any such failure. This fixture is
convection cooled, which means that if the surface is kept clean and free
of debris, then proper cooling will be allowed to occur
An LED may have failed, resulting in an open circuit. In this event, all of
the red, green, or blue in a single module will no longer illuminate. This
does not mean that all of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in
series.
An LED may have failed, resulting in an short circuit. In this event, only
the single LED which has failed will no longer function.
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly
may be purchased directly from Chauvet
Check that the lens assembly is installed properly. If the lens assembly is
not aligned properly over the LEDs, then they will not project fully
-See section on Lens Assembly Installation
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly
may be purchased directly from Chauvet
