S

ETUP

AC Power

The HIVE™ 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.

Spare fuse holder

(inside safety cap)

Installed fuse

(held by plastic clip)

Safety cap

A spare fuse is not included; however, the safety cap has room for a spare.

Always replace a blown fuse with the same type and rating.

Power Linking

The product provides power linking via the Edison/IEC outlet located in the back of the unit.

Power Linking

Diagram

Additional Products

1 st Product

2 nd Product

3 rd Product

You can power link up to 5 HIVE™ units on 120 VAC or up to 10 HIVE™ 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 19 HIVE™ User Manual

Mounting

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

Orientation

The HIVE™ 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 13-mm holes, which are 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.

·

The mounting bracket allows for surface mounting. When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

Master/Slave

Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single HIVE™ unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more HIVE™ units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in Auto Program mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in a Slave mode (SL-0 or SL-1). Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.

Product

Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or 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.

· 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 surface.

· 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 fan/fans using compressed air because you could damage them.
