COLORado™ stacked for use as a Blinder or Large Wash Flood
Interlocking connectors
provide an easy, fast
and secure method for
stacking units vertically
and horizontally
Stacking
The COLORado™ 3 can be stacked vertically and horizontally creating a blinder or a strip light. Stack
them horizontally to increase intensity of the projection for more distant throws or to use as a blinder
effect. The strip light stacking can be used for runway lighting and cycloramas.
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.
The COLORado™ 3 fixtures use 12 channels (maximum) of DMX control.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To
comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be
connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial
data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in
deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET certified DMX
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
