The COLORado™ 1 Tour 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™ 1 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™ 1 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™ 1 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™ 1 Tour comes with a power input cord terminated with a NEUTRIK®
powerCON A connector on one end 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™ 1 Tour supports power linking for up to 12 other COLORado™ 1
Tour fixtures at 120 VAC. Each COLORado™ 1 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™ 1 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.
You may link any COLORado™ 1 Tour fixture to a DMX controller using a standard
DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1
Tour fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the COLORado™ 1 Tour fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the "DMX Primer" document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
The COLORado™ 1 Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes,
TOUR, ARC1, ARC1 + D, ARC2, ARC2 + D, ARC2 + 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 channel values).
