Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORbar™ SMD unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more COLORbar™ SMD units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.

Configure the units as indicated below.

Slave units:

1.Press <MODE> repeatedly until d 1 shows on the display.

2.Press <ENTER> to accept.

3.Set the DMX address to 001.

4.Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.

5.Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.

6.Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.

Master unit:

1.Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.

2.Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.

•Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX daisy chain.

•Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

•Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.

Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

•Unplug the product from power.

•Wait until the product is cold.

•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.

•Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.

•Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

•Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the transparent surface.

•Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

Colorbar SMD specifications

The Chauvet Colorbar SMD is a versatile LED fixture designed for a wide range of applications, from stage performances to architectural lighting. This innovative product stands out due to its advanced features and technologies, making it a favored choice among lighting professionals and enthusiasts alike.

One of the main features of the Colorbar SMD is its high-performance SMD (Surface-Mount Device) technology. This technology allows for vibrant color mixing and smooth color transitions. The result is a wide palette of colors that can be easily manipulated to create stunning visual effects. The Colorbar SMD's ability to produce rich, saturated hues enhances any lighting design, making it ideal for concerts, theatrical productions, and corporate events.

The Colorbar SMD boasts a sleek, lightweight, and low-profile design. This makes it easy to mount and position in various settings, providing flexibility for lighting designers. The fixture is equipped with a durable aluminum housing that not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear in various environments.

Another significant characteristic is the fixture’s extensive range of control options. The Colorbar SMD supports DMX, allowing for precise control from lighting consoles. Users can easily create customized lighting scenes, control individual LED segments, and sync effects to music. The built-in programs and master/slave capabilities further enhance its usability, making it a plug-and-play solution for live events.

Additionally, the Colorbar SMD features a special frost filter option, allowing for diffused and softer lighting. This characteristic is particularly useful when aiming for a wash effect or when creating ambient lighting for different settings. The dimming capabilities of the fixture are commendable, providing smooth transitions and reducing the risk of flickering, which is vital in live environments.

Moreover, the Chauvet Colorbar SMD is designed for energy efficiency. Utilizing LED technology not only reduces power consumption but also results in less heat output, enabling longer use without the need for extensive cooling solutions. This makes it an environmentally friendly option, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable lighting solutions.

In conclusion, the Chauvet Colorbar SMD combines advanced SMD technology, versatile control options, and a sleek design, positioning itself as an exceptional choice for any lighting project. The fixture's rich color output, durability, and energy efficiency make it a top contender for both everyday use and special events, meeting the diverse demands of today's dynamic lighting industry.
