Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
3-PIN TO 5- PIN CON VER SION CHAR T Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F.
Mounting ORIENTATION This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation. R IG G IN G It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the Hanging Clamp fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs.
Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto): This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller. 1) Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more information about terminators, see page 14. 2) Choose a unit to function as Master mode. Turn dipswitches to the Master position on the unit. The unit must be the first unit in line.

APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of sequential channels.
General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power.
