FCC Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Warning for North America and Australia

Warning! This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between

the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

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.

If a Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The COLORdash Par-H12XIP 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.

AC Plug

The COLORdash Par-H12XIP comes with a power input cable 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 cable that

came

with the product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire a plug.

Power Linking

It is possible to power link up to 9 COLORdash Par-H12XIP products at 100 V, 11 products at 120 V, 19

products at 208 V, 21 products at 230 V, or up to 22 products at 240 V. Never exceed this number. Power-

linking cables can be purchased separately.

DMX Linking

The COLORdash Par-H12XIP can be linked to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If

using other DMX-compatible products with this product, it’s possible to control each individually with a

single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The COLORdash Par-H12XIP uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 6CH, 8CH, 9CH, 13CH, and

14CH DMX personalities.

• Refer to the Introduction for a brief description of each DMX personality.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORdash Par-H12XIP to work in

these personalities.

•TheDMX Channel Assignments and Values section provides detailed information regarding the

DMX 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 COLORdash Par-H12XIP 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.

Setup

COLORdash Par-H12XIP User Manual Rev. 1

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an COLORdash Par-H12XIP (the master) to control one or more

COLORdash Par-H12XIP products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORdash Par-H12XIP

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

Each slave’s control panel must be configured to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,

the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
