SETUP

3. SETUP

AC Power

The Data Stream 8 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. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.

2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.

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

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

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (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.

OPERATION

4. OPERATION

Front Panel Operation

The Data Stream 8 is designed to distribute / boost 2 incoming DMX signals (A/B) into 8 separate output

ports. Each of the 8 output ports is electronically isolated from the others, and must be assigned to one of

the incoming DMX signals.

To control where each of the signals go, there are assignment switches located on the front panel. Please

refer to the Product Overview to see the Input Switch and DMX Output Port Manual Assignment Switch

Bank.

Configuration

The Data Stream 8 works with up to 2 DMX universes. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX

Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website www.chauvetdj.com.

Power Indicator

The power indicator is located on the left side of the panel and will illuminate red when the product has

power.

Signal Indicators

There are 2 signal indicators. Green indicates a signal from input A and Blue indicates a signal on input B.

DMX Input Ports

There are 2 DMX input ports A and B. Each port handles 1 universe of DMX.

Input Select Switch

This 3 way switch selects whether signal A is routed to all the output ports, signal B is routed to all the

output ports or if it gets routed to the DMX Output Port Manual Assignment Switch Bank.

DMX Output Ports

These ports are labeled with a number and have both a green and a blue indicator lights which identify

which DMX input signal the output port is assigned to.

DMX Output Port Manual Assignment Switch Bank

To use the DMX Output Port Manual Assignment Switch Bank., the Input Select Switch must be set to the

Manual position in the center between A and B. Each switch on the DMX Output Port Manual Assignment

Switch Bank has a number that corresponds with the numbers on each of the output ports. Each switch

can choose which Input is assigned to each of the individual output ports.

MAINTENANCE

Data Stream 8 User Manual Rev. 1

5. MAINTENANCE

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of

the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, 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:

1. Unplug the product from power.

2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.

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

surface/vents.

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

alcohol.

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

6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.

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

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
