The COLORado™ 1 IP 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 IP 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 IP 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 IP to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Each COLORado™ 1 IP has IP66 rated cords for Power In and Power Out with proprietary IP66 connectors. These power cords access the sealed body of the fixture through IP66 cable glands. To allow connection to power outlets, the fixture comes with a power input cord with a proprietary IP66 connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US market). In case you need to replace the Edison plug on the power input cord, follow the table below.

The COLORado™ 1 IP supports power linking for up to 12 other COLORado™ 1 IP fixtures at 120 VAC. The fixture also comes with an IP66 power linking cord to allow direct connection between fixtures.

The COLORado™ 1 IP 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.

You may link any COLORado™ 1 IP fixture to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1 IP 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 IP fixture to a DMX controller, you may download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

The COLORado™ 1 IP comes with two adapter cables, one from proprietary IP66 to 3-pin DMX In and the other from proprietary IP66 to 3-pin DMX Out. In addition, it comes with a signal linking cable with proprietary IP66 connectors on both ends.

The COLORado™ 1 IP uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes, TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, ARC2, AR2 + D, AR2 + 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).
