ETUP

AC Power

The CORE™ 3x3 has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100~240 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.

Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

Fuse

Replacement

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0–100% switch.

Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.

1. Disconnect the product from power.

2. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.

3. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.

4. Remove the blown fuse from the holder.

5. Replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.

6. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Additional Products

You can power link up to 3 CORE™ 3x3 units on 120 VAC or up to 7 CORE™ 3x3 units on 230 VAC.

The power linking diagram shown above corresponds to the North American version of the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, you must consult with the local CHAUVET® distributor as power linking connectors and requirements may differ in your country or region.

Page 8 of 23 CORE™ 3x3 User Manual Rev. 1

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.

Orientation

The CORE™ 3x3 may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.

Rigging

·

Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and programming.

·

Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product

can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications ).

·

When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.

·

When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity. The bracket has a 13-mm hole, which is appropriate for this purpose.

·

When power linking multiple products, you must always consider the length of the power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable 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.

·

When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

Coffin Locks

The CORE™ 3x3 may be attached to another CORE™ 3x3 by using their coffin locks.

The coffin locks are for product alignment only and are not weight bearing. DO NOT hang product using only the coffin locks.

1. Place one CORE™ 3x3 next to the other, making sure to align the coffin lock’s male connector opening to the other product’s female connector opening.

2. Use the 5 mm Allen key to operate the locking mechanism. Once locked, the coffin lock hooks hold the CORE™ 3x3 units together.

Note: To unlock the coffin locks, using the Allen key again, simply turn the key in the opposite direction from how it was locked.

When attaching CORE™ 3x3 products together using their coffin locks, be sure each unit is independently mounted.

Master/Slave

Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single CORE™ 3x3 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more CORE™ 3x3 units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in Master mode 1 (and in either an Auto program or Sound-Active mode), while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode 1. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit, each slave duplicating the master exactly.

Configure the units as indicated below.

Slave units:

1. Press <MENU> on the slave units until SLA shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER> and SLA1SLA4 shows on the display.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLA1 (Slave mode 1).

4. Press <ENTER>.

5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.

Master unit:

1. Press <MENU> on the master unit until SEnd shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER> and either SEd1 or SEd4 shows on the display.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SEd1 (Master mode 1).

4. Press <ENTER>.

5. Set the master unit to operate in either Auto program or Sound-Active mode.

6. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.

· Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX daisy chain.

· Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

· Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.

Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean the product at least twice a month. However, usage and environmental conditions contribute to increased cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below.

· Unplug the product from power.

· Wait until the product is at room temperature.

· Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents and reachable internal components.

· Clean all external optics and glass/transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.

· Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

· Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the external optics or glass/transparent surfaces.

· Gently polish the external optics and glass/transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the external optics and glass/transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because you could damage them.
