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 products specifications chart. A products 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,  
AC Voltage Switch Example  
even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%  
switch. Before applying power, check that the source voltage matches the  
products 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.  
Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain.  
Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use its carrying  
handles.  
Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper  
voltage and that the line voltage you are connecting to is  
not higher than that stated on decal or rear panel of the  
fixture.  
Maximum ambient temperature is Ta: 40°. Do not operate  
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!  
To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to  
rain or moisture. Make sure there are no flammable  
materials close to the unit while operating.  
Dont connect the device to a dimmer pack.  
The unit must be installed in a location with adequate  
ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent surfaces. Be sure  
that no ventilation slots are blocked.  
Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged.  
Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the  
cord.  
Always disconnect from power source before servicing or  
replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to replace with same  
lamp source.  
Avoid direct eye exposure to lamp while it is on.  
Caution!  
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or  
attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service,  
please contact CHAUVET.

DMX Control Mode  
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to  
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the  
fixture and each fixture independently. The LED-RAIN36 uses 2 channels of control.  
1. Enable DMX control by setting dipswitch # 10 to the ON position. Use dipswitches 1 through 9 to  
address each fixture accordingly.  
Setting the DMX address  
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start  
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data  
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels  
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,  
102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and  
notate the start address selected for future reference.  
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping  
to the Appendix Section and read the heading DMX Primer. It contains very useful information that  
will help you understand its use.  
Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each  
dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide  
the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be  
accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the  
selected start address until zero is achieved.  
EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS  
Address 10

Pin # 4 = 8  
Pin # 2 = 2

Address 24

Pin # 5 = 16

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)

Returns Procedure  
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.  
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products  
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the  
fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause  
for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate  
packaging is the customers 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.
