Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular product, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the product or refer to the product’s specifications chart. A product’s listed current rating is its
average current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched
circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
MIST-PS8 AC Voltage Switch
dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying
power, check that the source voltage matches the product’s requirement.
Check the product or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning!
If applicable, verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth
Ground.
Safety Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully, which includes important
information about the installation, usage and maintenance?
Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you
sell the unit to another user, be sure that they also receive
this instruction booklet.
Always disconnect from power source before servicing or
replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to replace with same
lamp source.
Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper
voltage and that the line voltage you are connecting to is

fixture at temperatures higher than this.
In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the
unit immediately. Never try to repair the unit by yourself.
Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest
authorized technical assistance center. Always use the
same type spare parts.
This product is intended for indoor use only!

Operating Instructions
DMX Control Mode
With exception to the system setup process all control functions on the controller can be accessed
and executed externally via a Universal DMX controller. First you must connect the LED-CHVA
controller to an existing DMX daisy chain. The controller is addressable just like any other DMX
device or fixture and it will be controlled as if it were a fixture in most intelligent light consoles.
Setting the DMX address
1. Press the MODE button until the display shows “M System Setup”.
2. Press the SETUP button to enter the “M System Setup” menu function.
3. The controller should display immediately “1 Dmx Ch”. Press the SETUP button to select function.
4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to increase or decrease the channel values. This value represents
the starting address for this device. The controller occupies 4 channels of DMX
5. The unit will now respond to DMX command. Do not press any other buttons other than to change
the channel values.
The next step may require you to create a device profile within your lighting controller. Proceed to
section “DMX Channel Values” for a detailed chart of the control values for each channel of DMX.
Running in DMX Mode
If the control panel menu displays “1 Dmx Ch“ press SETUP to activate DMX control mode. For
instructions on arriving at this menu item repeat the instructions “Setting the DMX address” located
directly above this subject.
Daisy Chain Connection
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector
of the first fixture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

APPENDIX
DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A
fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user
must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller.
There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number
of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should
never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is
set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting
address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the
fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is
where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which
the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to
each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures
using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The
shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+). CHAUVET
carries 3-pin XLR DMX compliant cables, DMX-10 (33’), DMX-4.5 (15’) and DMX-1.5 (5’)

for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe
method to use.
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage,
must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
