Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The Shocker Panel FX has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of

100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current

value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.

The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect the product from power.

2. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.

3. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.

4. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.

5. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Power Linking

This product provides power linking via the outlet located in the back of the product. See the diagram

below for further explanation.

Power Linking Diagram

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure

the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or

fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use

completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the

rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same type and rating.

It is possible to link up to 5 Shocker Panel FX products on 120 VAC or up to 10 products

on 230 VAC.

The power linking diagram shown above corresponds to the North American version of

the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, consult with the local Chauvet

distributor as power linking connectors and requirements may differ by country or region.

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.

Orientation

The Shocker Panel FX may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is

provided around the product.

Rigging

• Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the product

for maintenance and programming.

•Make sure that the structure and attachment points can support the weight before hanging the

product (see the Technical Specifications).

•When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a

rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.

•When rigging the product onto atruss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.

•The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the

desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the

knobs.

•When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power linking cables to

reach.

•When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from

people and vehicles.

Mounting Diagram

To prevent accidental loosening when using a single mounting clamp, be sure to use a

clamp with a captive bolt.
