ETUP
AC Power
The Circus™ 2.0 IRC 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.
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.
Fuse
Replacement
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.

Configuration
Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller.
(Standalone)
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the product on.
Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static,
Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
Sound-Active
Mode
To enable the Sound-Active mode and select sound sensitivity, do the following:
1. Press <MENU repeatedly until SNd shows on the display.
2. Press <ENT> to activate the Sound-Active mode.
3. Press <MENU> until S-- shows on the display.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the sound sensitivity from S 1 to S100 (low to high).
5. Press <ENT>.
Note: You can also set the microphone sensitivity in Sound-Active mode using the microphone sensitivity knob. Turn the music on and adjust the microphone sensitivity knob until the product starts responding to the beat of the music.
The product will only respond to low frequencies of music (bass and drums).
Automatic Mode
To enable the Automatic mode and select the automatic program speed, follow the instructions below:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until AUTO shows on the display.
2. Press <ENT> to activate the automatic programs.
3. Press <MENU> until S-- shows on the display.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the automatic program speed from S 1 to S100
(fast to slow).
5. Press <ENT>.
Page 12 of 17 Circus™ 2.0 IRC User Manual (Rev. 1)
Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Circus™ 2.0 IRC unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Circus™ 2.0 IRC units (the “slaves”) without the need of a
DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-
Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate from DMX starting address d 1.
Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Set the DMX address to d 1.
2. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
3. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.
4. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Sound-Active or Automatic mode.
2. 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.
Infrared Remote
Control (IRC)
The Circus™ 2.0 IRC is fully compatible with the Infrared Remote Control (IRC) from
CHAUVET®. To enable usage with the IRC, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SEr shows on the display.
2. Press <ENT> to accept.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> to select oN or oFF.
4. Press <ENT>.

Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life. 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 external surfaces.
· Clean all external optics and 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 transparent surface.
· Gently polish the external optics and transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external optics and transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
