What Is Included

Claims

Carefully unpack the product immediately and check the container to make sure all the parts are in the

package and are in good condition.

If the box or the contents (the product and included accessories) appear damaged from shipping, or show

signs of mishandling, notify the carrier immediately, not Chauvet. Failure to report damage to the carrier

immediately may invalidate your claim. In addition, keep the box and contents for inspection.

For other issues, such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping, or concealed

damage, file a claim with Chauvet within 7 days of delivery.

Manual Conventions

Symbols

Expected LED Lifespan

Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than

single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is

40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit

the overall intensity.

3. Setup

AC Power

Each COLORado PXL Bar 8 has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of

100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each COLORado PXL Bar 8, refer to

the label affixed to the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in this manual.

The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more

information, download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.

AC Plug

The COLORado PXL Bar 8 comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A

connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came

with your product has no plug, or if you need the change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug

Power Linking

The product supports power linking. You can power link up to 3 products at 100 V and 120 V, 6 products at

208 V, and 7 products at 230 V and 240 V.

This product comes with a power input cord. Power-linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.

DMX Linking

You can link the COLORado PXL Bar 8 to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. If using other

DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The COLORado PXL Bar 8 uses DMX, Art-Net™, sACN, and Kling-Net for its control personalities:

Remote Device Management (RDM)

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate

bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the

manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The COLORado PXL Bar 8 supports RDM

protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

• 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.

Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color

AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass

AC Neutral White Blue Silver

AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green

• To preserve the IP65 rating and the warranty of this product, Seetronic Powerkon cables

must be used.

• Insert the attached IP65-rated plugs into the corresponding power/data connections

when not in use.

COLORado PXL Bar 8 User Manual Rev. 1

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an COLORado PXL Bar 8 (the master) to control one or more

COLORado PXL Bar 8 products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORado PXL Bar 8

becomes the master when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.

You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,

the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

weight. See the Technical Specifications for weight information.

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

rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.

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

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

• 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.

The COLORado PXL Bar 8 comes with a bracket to which you can attach a mounting clamp directly.

Mounting clamps are sold separately. Make sure the clamps are capable of supporting the weight of this

product. Use at least one mounting point per product. For the CHAUVET Professional line of mounting

clamps, go to http://www.trusst.com/products.

Mounting Diagram

controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.

•TheOperation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure

the master and slaves.

• If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, or the DMX

cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from
