Chauvet COLORado 1 User Manual - page 14
Master/Slave Mode:
This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller.
1)
Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear
of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more
information about terminators, see page 8.
2)
Choose a unit to function as the Master. The unit must be the first unit in line. Press
until “Auto” appears on the display, and press .
3)
Press scroll through to the desired program (either Auto 1-10 or Custom 1-10), and press
to select it.
4)
Then simply chain the units together using DMX cable.
5)
Nothing needs to be set on the slave units. So long as they are in any top-level menu they
should respond to a DMX controller or Master fixture.
DMX Mode
This mode allows the unit to be controlled by any universal DMX controller. If you are unfamiliar with
DMX, please read the DMX Primer on page 24.

DMX-512 control without “ID” address
The COLORado™ 1 operates on 3-9 channels of DMX. Address each fixture in increments of 3-9
channels. (I.e. 1, 10, 19, 28 etc…) To save time you can use the same DMX address for each fixture.
All fixtures will then respond simultaneously to control. You may also group your fixtures and address
those groups alike for faster programming and control.
1)
Press until “dMX” is displayed and press .
2)
Scroll through to select the desired address, and press .
Note:
This fixture always has an ID address; it cannot be deactivated. Unintended results
may occur if values are present in channel 8. Make sure values on channel 8 are set
to “0”.
