Safety Notes

Read all the following safety notes before working with this product. These notes contain important

information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.

Personal Safety

• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.

• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.

• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.

• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.

Mounting and Rigging

• Do not submerge this product (IP65). Temporary outdoor operation is fine.

• When using this product in an outdoor environment, use IP65 (or higher) rated power and data

cables. Secure unused power and data ports with attached IP65 covers.

• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g., cold truck to

warm, humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid

causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting

it to power.

• Not for permanent outdoor installation in locations with extreme environmental conditions. This

includes, but is not limited to:

• Exposure to a marine/saline environment (within 3 miles of a saltwater body of water).

• Locations where the normal high or low temperatures exceed the temperature ranges in this

manual.

• Locations that are prone to flooding or being buried in snow.

• Areas where the product will be subjected to extreme radiation or caustic substances.

• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent

surfaces.

• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.

• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

Power and Wiring

• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.

• Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage in accordance with the

specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.

• 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 this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.

• Make sure to replace the fuse with another of the same type and rating.

• Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.

Operation

• Do not operate this product if there is damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have the damaged

parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.

• Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.

• The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher

temperatures.

• The minimum ambient temperature is

-4°F (-20°C)

. Do not operate the product at lower temperatures.

• In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!

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.

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in this User

Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not open the housing

or attempt any repairs.

All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this product.

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

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The Color STRIKE M 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 Color STRIKE M comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon IP65

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 to change the plug, use the table below to wire the new

plug.

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 Color STRIKE M supports RDM protocol

that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

USB Software Update

The Color STRIKE M allows for software updates with a USB device using the built-in USB port. To update

the software using a USB flash drive, do the following:

1. Power on the product, and plug the flash drive into the USB port.

2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed.

Press <ENTER>.

• If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in the Main Menu

(Update Firmware) and select from Only This Unit, Multiple Units, or Other Fixture Type. A

list of the updated software files will be displayed.

3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message “Are you sure?” will be displayed. Press

<ENTER>.

4. If the selected file is correct, the upgrade will be completed. Restart the product.

• If the selected file is incorrect, the upgrade will fail, and the display will go back to the main

interface. Repeat steps 1-3 using the correct file.

• 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.

The .chl format file needs to be placed in the “STRIKE” folder in the USB flash drive.
