3. SETUP AC Power This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input voltages (100 ~ 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz). Before powering on the unit, make sure the line voltage to which you are connecting it is within the range of accepted voltages. -
Page 9: Mounting
You can order “C” and “O” clamps from any CHAUVET dealer or distributor (CLP-15, CLP-06 recommended). If you are using this fixture for down lighting, you must use at least one safety cable/chain for each fixture in addition to the double-bracket yoke. -
Page 10: Fixture Linking
300 ~ 455 m (985 ~ 1,500 ft). Data Cabling To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable, please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference. -

4. O PERATING NSTRUCTIONS Control Options The COLORdash™ Block is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512. In its simplest control form, this allows for the control of up to 46 fixtures in the 11-channel Stage 1 personality; however, a secondary ID address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and architectural environments. -
Page 13: Setting The Starting Dmx Address
Setting the Starting DMX address Each fixture requires a starting address from 1 through 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses seven channels of DMX and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. -
