You can link the COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the COLORado™ Batten
144 Tour, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
The COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR,
BLOCK1, BLOCK2, ARC1, ARC1 +D, ARC3, ARC3 + D, ARC3 + S, and HSV DMX
modes.
Refer to the Introduction
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour
to work in these modes.
The DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour (the "master product") to
control one or more COLORado™ Batten 144 Tours (the "slave products") without a DMX
controller. One COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour becomes the master product when running
an Auto or Custom program, or by being in STATIC mode.
You must configure each slave product's control panel to operate in SLAVE mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
The COLORado™ Batten 144 Tour comes with a glare shield already mounted on the side
of the unit. Please refer to the Product Overview diagram for reference.
To extend the glare shield, do the following:
1. Loosen the glare shield screw on the front of the fixture.
2. Slide the glare shield on either direction until it is free.
3. Turn over and reinsert the glare shield into either slot so it projects itself over the
LEDs lens cover, as shown below.
4. Adjust the angle of the glare shied and tighten the glare shield screw.
