AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular product, see the label affixed to the
back plate of the product or refer to the product's specifications chart. A product's listed
current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. All products must be
powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor)
or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%
switch. Before applying power to a product, check that the source voltage matches the
product's requirement. Check the product or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage
selection switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Verify that the voltage rating on your unit matches the line voltage applied. Damage to
your product may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage rating. All
products must be connected to circuits with a suitable earth ground.
Breaker Reset
Disconnect the power cord before resetting the breaker.
The breaker will not reset until it has been allowed to cool.
This product is equipped with a breaker on the main power input, located on the exterior of
the back panel. In the event that this breaker trips, you may reset it very easily.
1.
Unplug the product from the mains power.
2.
Allow to cool for 5-15 minutes.
3.
Using your hand, press on the button for the breaker, until it remains in place.
In the event this breaker will not reset, contact CHAUVET® for troubleshooting. The
product may need to be serviced.
Product Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more products using a DMX-
512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more products set to a master/slave
operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the products on a
serial data link determines the number of products the data link can support.
Products on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply
with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one
data link. Connecting more than 32 products on one serial data link without the
use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital
DMX signal.
