LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in  
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED  
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly  
reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to  
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by  
improving the fixture’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition,  
limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

Introduction  
2. Introduction  
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP is an RGB wash light based on 14 tri-color LEDs. It consists  
of a single pod with a double bracket mounting yoke. The AC power comes directly into  
the fixture’s housing through a proprietary IP66 rated power input cord. The power  
linking uses a proprietary IP66 rated power link cord. The DMX input and output signals  
use proprietary IP66 DMX in and DMX out cords. The fixture comes with all the  
necessary adapters to connect to the proprietary IP66 cords as well a power and signal  
link cables. The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP uses a display-based control panel for  
programming functions.

input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.  
AC Power  
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the  
specifications in this guide, the product’s user manual, or on the product’s sticker.  
Always connect the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP to  
a
protected circuit with an  
appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.  
To determine the power requirements for the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP see the label affixed  
to the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding specifications  
chart in the Technical Information chapter of this manual.  
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.  
For more information, you may download the “Sizing the Circuit Breakers” document  
from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
Never connect the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer  
circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.  
Each COLORado™ 1-Tri IP has IP66 rated cords for Power In and Power Out with  
proprietary IP66 connectors. These power cords access the sealed body of the fixture  
through IP66 cable glands. To allow connection to power outlets, the fixture comes with

COLORado™ 1-Tri IP User Manual Rev. 01c  
 
         
Setup  
You may link any COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to a DMX controller using a standard  
DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a COLORado™ 1-  
Tri IP fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.  
DMX Linking  
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX  
cables needed to link the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to a DMX controller, you may  
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP comes with two adapter cables, one from proprietary  
IP66 to 3-pin DMX In and the other from proprietary IP66 to 3-pin DMX Out. In  
addition, it comes with a signal linking cable with proprietary IP66 connectors on  
both ends.  
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes,  
TOUR, ARC1, AR1+D, AR1+S, and HSV.  
DMX Modes  
You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief  
description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX  
Values section (individual channel values).  
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixture to control one or more  
COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes  
the “master” when running an auto or custom program as well as when in STATIC  
mode. The controlled fixtures are the “slaves” and you must set them to “SLAVE” mode  
from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave  
fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture.  
Master/Slave  
Connectivity  
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial  
connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download  
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures operating in Master/Slave mode.  
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from  
the master unit.  
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to  
configure the Master and Slave units.  
The COLORado™ 1-Tri IP uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of  
addressable fixtures in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. Refer to  
the Operation chapter in this manual to learn in detail how to configure the  
COLORado™ 1-Tri IP fixtures when using ID Addressing. If you are not familiar with the  
various connection methods when using ID Addressing, you may download the “DMX  
Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

Technical Information  
5. Technical Information  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light  
General  
Maintenance  
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the  
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month.  
Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can  
lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.  
CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using  
normal glass cleaning fluid.  
To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:  
·
·
·
Unplug the fixture from power.  
Wait until the fixture is cold.  
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected  
on the external vents and reachable internal components.  
·
·
Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or  
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.  
Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the  
outside of the lens.  
·
·
Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.  
When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the  
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.  
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.  
If the fixture has one or more cooling fans, refrain from spinning them using  
compressed air.

Technical Information  
The user must send the merchandise prepaid, in the original box, and with its original  
packing and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags.  
Returns  
Procedure  
Call CHAUVET® and request a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #)  
before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number,  
and a brief description of the cause for the return.  
The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization  
Number (RMA #). CHAUVET® will refuse any product returned without an RMA #.  
DO NOT write the RMA # directly on the box. Instead, write it on a properly affixed  
label.  
Once you receive the RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of  
paper inside the box:  
·
·
·
·
·
Your name  
Your address  
Your phone number  
The RMA #  
A brief description of the problem  
Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate  
packaging will be the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or  
double-boxing is always a safe method to use.  
CHAUVET® reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace  
returned product(s).  
The carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during shipping to this product or any  
part that shipped with it. Therefore, if the received merchandise appears to have  
damages caused during shipping, the customer must submit the damage report and any  
related claims with the carrier, not CHAUVET®. The customer must submit the report  
upon reception of the damaged merchandise. Failure to do so in a timely manner may  
invalidate the customer’s claim with the carrier.  
Claims  
For other issues such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping,  
or concealed damage, the customer must make claims to CHAUVET® within seven (7)  
days of receiving the merchandise.
