Expected LED
Lifespan
In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet
Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. LEDs packaged in clusters exhibit higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. Using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan, which under normal circumstances
40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

DMX Mode
Master/Slave
Mode
In DMX mode, Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels are controlled by a DMX controller, and the DMX address and DMX personality must be set through the control panel.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses its control source. When there is a DMX cable plugged in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller, or Master/Slave. When there is an etherCON® cable plug in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects an IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or
Kling-Net.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 has 5 DMX personalities, each with different capabilities. The table
below lists the capabilities of each personality. For more information, see DMX Address and
DMX Personality in the Menu Operations section of this manual.

In Master/Slave mode one Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panel (the master) controls one or more
Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels (the slaves) without a DMX controller. The master panel is set to an auto program, or static color and sends DMX to the slaves so they do the same thing. For more information, see Master/Slave Mode in the Menu Operations section of this manual.
· Do not connect a DMX controller to the DMX chain when operating Nexus™ Aw 7x7 products in Master/Slave mode, because signals from the master and the DMX controller will conflict and cause erratic behavior in all the products.
· Master/Slave operates via DMX ports only. The etherCON® ports cannot be used for
Master/Slave mode.

Ethernet
Connections
Ethernet connections link Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to routers and each other through their etherCON® ports. Ethernet connections are for running TCP/IP-protocol-based control system, such as Kling-Net and Art-Net®. All etherCON® ports can be either input or output, and panels can be linked to each other, but the start of each chain of panels must be a router port, and there should be no more than 12 Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels linked off of one router port.
Do not connect Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to the WAN port of the router.

Nexus™ Aw 57x7 Panels
Kling-Net is a network protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX over a network and into the
Neutrik® etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Kling-Net works seamlessly with Kling-Net-supported ArKaos software for configuring and mapping display devices. For more information, see Kling-Net Configuration .
Kling-Net requires a gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet card and network router.
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX signals over a network and into the etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Art-Net™ requires configuration through the control panel. For more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols and Art-Net™ .
For more information about Art-Net™, see the Art-Net™ protocol document available on the
Chauvet web site at www.chauvetprofessional.com

Setup
Setting
Modes And
Protocols
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses whether control is coming from a DMX source, or a
Network source. When there is an etherCON® cable plug into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a TCP/IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or Kling-Net, depending on the setting in the control panel. If there is a DMX cable plugged into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller or Master/Slave control, depending on the settings in the control panel.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 can receive control from only one set of ports, either the DMX ports or the etherCON® ports. The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 senses which ports are used on power-up, so the panel cannot be changed from DMX to TCP/IP, or from TCP/IP to DMX while it is turned on.
To switch from one set of ports to another (one control type to another), unplug the Nexus™
Aw 7x7 panel, switch the cables, and then plug the panel in again.
A DMX personality must be set for all modes, DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net. For more
information, see DMX Personality
Kling-Net has no settings to configure, but it must be selected through the control panel. For more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols
Art-Net™ has a number of settings that must be configured through the control panel. For more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols
When a DMX controller is sending signal to the DMX ports and there is nothing in the etherCON® ports, any Ethernet settings in the control panel will be ignored.
When aTCP/IP controller is sending signal to the etherCON® ports and there is nothing in the
DMX ports, the DMX personality will be recognized by the TCP/IP controller.
Do not connect both DMX and etherCON® cables, use one or the other.

Colors and Activity
Black with an ID number and IP address
Green with an ID number and IP address
Black to red with no IP address during initial population
Black to red after initial population
Explanation
There is connectivity and everything is working properly, but the device is not yet mapped.
There is connectivity and everything is working properly, and the device is mapped.
The King-Net™ Mapper could not find an IP address for the device, most likely because the system is using an
Ethernet switch instead of an Ethernet hub.
The connectivity has been lost.

6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because you could damage them.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
