AC Power 

Warning! 

Verify that the power requirement label on your unit matches the line voltage 
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground. 

  To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate 

of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.  

  A fixture’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 dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% 
to 100% switch.  

  Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s 

requirement.  

  All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Mounting 

O r i e n t a t i o n  

This fixture can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat surface using 

the brackets provided. 

R i g g i n g  

The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which 1 rigging clamp can 

be bolted. You must supply your own clamp and make sure the 

clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. You can 

order C-clamps from any CHAUVET dealer or distributor. 

1. 

Block access below the work area and use suitable and stable 
platform when installing or servicing fixture. 

2. 

Align the clamp screw with the center hole on the yoke and tighten. 

3. 

Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-be installed fixtures. 

4. 

Adjust the angle on the yoke arm as necessary. 

5. 

Always use a safety cable or chain as a secondary source of attachment. The safety cable must hold 10 
times the weight of the fixture. If safety cable attachment point is provided that is permanently affixed to 
the surface or body of the fixture, use that instead of looping through a hanging yoke/arm.
