COLORado™ 3p Tour User Manual Rev. 02c
The COLORado™ 3p Tour has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts input
voltages in the range of 100~240 V, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting the COLORado™ 3p Tour to the proper voltage, as
per the specifications in this guide, the product's manual or on the product's sticker.
Always connect the COLORado™ 3p 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™ 3p 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.
Please refer to the Sizing the Circuit Breakers section in the Appendix chapter of this
manual.
Never connect the COLORado™ 3p 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™ 3p Tour supports power linking for up to 13 other COLORado™ 1
Tour fixtures at 120 VAC. Each COLORado™ 3p 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™ 3p 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™ 3p Tour fixture has no external fuse that the user can change.
However, it does have an internal fuse that only an authorized CHAUVET® technician
should change.
If you are using the COLORado™ 3p Tour with a DMX controller, you can link them
using a regular DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the
COLORado™ 3p 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 the Master/Slave mode, please refer to
the Appendix chapter of this manual.
The DMX Channel Summary section in this chapter contains a brief description of
what features of the COLORado™ 3p Tour have a DMX channel assigned to them.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides a detailed list of the COLORado™
3p Tour DMX channel assignments.
The COLORado™ 3p Tour uses the DMX data connection for its DMX modes, TOUR,
ARC1, ARC1 + D, ARC2, ARC2 + D, ARC2 + S, ARCd and PIXEL. Refer to the
Introduction chapter for a brief description of this mode(s) and to the Operation
Instructions chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ 3p Tour to work in these
modes.
If you are not familiar with the DMX connectivity, please refer to Appendix chapter of this
