The COLORado™ 2 has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the
specifications in this guide, the product's user manual, or on the product's sticker.
Always connect the COLORado™ 2 Tour to a protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To determine the power requirements for the COLORado™ 2 Tour see the label affixed
to the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding
specifications chart in the Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
For more information, you may download the "Sizing the Circuit Breakers" document
from the CHAUVET® Web site.
Never connect the COLORado™ 2 Tour to a rheostat (variable resistor) or
dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to
100% switch.
The COLORado™ 2 Tour comes with a power input cord terminated with a NEUTRIK®
powerCON A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US market).
If the power cord that came with your fixture has no plug or you need to change the
Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

The COLORado™ 2 Tour supports power linking for up to five other COLORado™ 2
Tour fixtures at 120 VAC. Each COLORado™ 2 Tour has Neutrik POWERCON
sockets for Power In and Power Out. Although the fixture comes with a power input
cord, it comes with no power linking cord.
The COLORado™ 2 Tour fixture has no external fuse for the user to change. However,
it does have an internal fuse that only an authorized CHAUVET® technician should
change.
If you are using the COLORado™ 2 Tour with a DMX controller, you can link them
using a regular DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the
COLORado™ 2 Tour, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX
controller.
It is also possible to run several DMX compatible fixtures synchronized without a DMX
controller in a master/slave operating mode.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the COLORado™ 2 Tour fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the "DMX Primer" document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
The DMX Channel Summary section in this chapter contains a brief description
of what COLORado™ 2 Tour features have a DMX channel assigned to them. The
Operation chapter of this manual provides a detailed list of the COLORado™ 2
Tour DMX channel assignments.
The COLORado™ 2 Tour uses the DMX data connection for its DMX modes, TOUR,
ARC1, AR1 + D, ARC2, AR2 + D, AR2 + S and HSV. You will find information about
these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation
Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual
