FCC Statement of 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.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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

the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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.

Introduction

2. Introduction

Description

The STRIKE P38 is a blinder powered by an 80 W warm white LED source. It can be used as a blinder, a

strobe, or even a wide area flood light. The STRIKE P38 is IP65 rated and features IP rated power and

DMX connections. An emulated “red shift” warms the color temperature of the light as it dims to mimic

incandescent lights.

Features

• Intense single pod blinder/strobe rated IP65 for all-weather use

• Emulated “red shift” to mimic incandescent fixtures perfectly.

• 16-bit dimming control for smooth, perfect fades

• Strobe functionality for high-impact effects on-the-fly

• Easy to use OLED display

• Adjustable Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

• RDM (Remote Device Management) for added flexibility

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The STRIKE P38 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 STRIKE P38 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 cable which came with the

product has no plug, or if it is necessary to change the plug, use the table below to wire a plug.

Power Linking

It is possible to power link STRIKE P38 products. See the table below for the current draw at each voltage

and frequency:

Never exceed 12 A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.

DMX Linking

It is possible to link the STRIKE P38 to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection. For more

information about DMX, read the DMX primer at:

https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/DMX_Primer.pdf.

DMX Personalities

The STRIKE P38 uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 1 Ch, 3 Ch, 4 Ch, 5 Ch, 6 Ch, and 7 Ch DMX

personalities.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the STRIKE P38 to work in these

personalities.

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

control personalities.

Remote Device Management

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 STRIKE P38 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). Ensure 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.

configuration, and maintenance.

Rigging

Chauvet recommends using the following general guidelines when mounting this product.

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

maintenance and programming purposes.

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

product (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.

Procedure

The user can directly attach a mounting clamp to the mounting bracket of the STRIKE P38. Make sure the

clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this product. For the Chauvet Professional line of mounting

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