Expected LED Lifespan
In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, contact CHAUVET® Technical Support. LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-LED conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

DMX Linking
You can link the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour, you can control each individually with a single DMX controlle
DMX Modes
The COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour uses the standard DMX data connection for the TOUR, BLOCK1, BLOCK2, ARC1, ARC1 +D, ARC2, ARC2 + D, ARC2 + S , and HSV DMX modes. Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes. Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour to work in these modes. The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the DMX modes
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a master OLORado™ Batten 72 Tour set to Master mode to control one or more COLORado™ Batten 72 Tours set to Slave mode without a DMX controller. One COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour becomes the master product when running an Auto or Custom program, or by being in STATIC mode. You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in SLAVE mode. During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master prouct
- If you are not familiar with DMX, download the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
- DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master product.
- The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the Master and Slave products
ID Addressing
The COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour uses the ID Addressing feature to increase the number of addressable products in the same DMX universe when in the TOUR personality. See the Operation chapter for details on to configuring this product when using ID Addressing
Mounting
Before mounting this product, read and follow the Safety Notes in this manual.

Control Options You can set the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour start address in
the 001~512 DMX range. This enables control of up to 39 products in the
13-channel TOUR personality.
In addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 products for
each starting DMX address, multiplying the number of products you can control
within a single universe.
You can access the product’s ID address system from channel 12 when in the
TOUR DMX personality.
When programming live performances, as well as cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a timeline, if using ID addressing, program no more than 10
products per DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution
time.
Programming Refer to the Menu Map to understand the menu options. The menu map shows the main level and a variable number of programming levels for each option.
- Go to the PERS main level.
- Select the desired personality ( TOUR, ARC1, ARC1 + D, ARC2, ARC2 + D, ARC2 + S, HSV, BLOCK1, or BLOCK2).
- See the DMX Values section for the highest starting address you can select for each personality.
- Make sure that the starting addresses on the various products do not overlap due to the new personality setting.
DMX Control Without ID Addressing
In this mode, each product will respond to a unique starting address from the DMX controller. All products with the same starting address will respond in unison. Select the TOUR personality as shown in DMX Personality.
- Set the running mode:
- Go to the RUN main level.
- Select the DMX programming level.
- Set the starting address:
- Go to ADDRESS.
- Select the starting address (001~512).
- Deactivate ID Addressing on each product:
- Go to SETTINGS > ID ONOFF.
- Select OFF.
DMX Control With ID Addressing
Make sure to deactivate ID Addressing in each product when using the TOUR personality. Otherwise, unintended results may occur if channel 12 is not set to “0.” In this mode, the products with the same DMX starting address will respond to the DMX controller based on the product’s individual ID address setting. If you select ID address “0,” all the products with the same DMX address will respond in unison. Otherwise, each product will follow the control for its particular ID address.
- Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 from DMX Control Without ID Addressing.
- Activate ID Addressing in each product:
- Go to SETTINGS > ID ONOFF
- Select ON.
The highest recommended starting address for each DMX mode is as follows:
DMX Mode| DMX Address| DMX Mode| DMX Address| DMX
Mode| DMX Address
---|---|---|---|---|---
TOUR| 500| ARC2| 508| HSV| 510
ARC1| 510| ARC2+D| 507| BLOCK1| 504
ARC1+D| 509| ARC2+S| 506| BLOCK2| 498

Color Settings The COLOR setting determines how the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour generates the white colour based on various RGB settings.
- Go to the SETTINGS main level.
- Select COLOR.
- Select OFF, RGB TO W, or UC.
OFF: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output is maximum, although the resulting white colour may not be balanced
RGB TO W: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the resulting output is defined by the configured White colour (see Whites Settings).
UC: When all the RGB faders are set to 255, the output matches that of less efficient products (Universal Color).
Dimmer Curves This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour changes when you modify the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and Dimmer faders. This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product
- Go to the SETTINGS main level.
- Select DIMMER.
- Select a dimmer function (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3, or DIM4).
OFF : The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBWA channel values.
DIM1~4: The output follows the Dimmer and RGBWA channel values based on the corresponding dimmer curve, being DIM1 the fastest and DIM4 the slowest
Control Panel Lock
This setting enables you to activate or disable the control panel lock, which keeps non-authorized personnel from changing the product’s settings.
- Go to the KEYLOCK main level.
- Select ON or OFF.
When the control panel lock is active, the product will prompt you to enter

The Master/Slave products will provide the status of the process by lighting up as follows:
- Yellow indicates that the upload process is running.
- Green indicates that the upload process was completed successfully.
- Red indicates that the upload process failed due to an error. Recheck all cable connections and restart the process. If the issue persists, contact CHAUVET® Technical Support.
DO NOT upload the data from a COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour to a different product.

- Go to CALIB.
- Select a white color (WHITE1~11) or (RGB TO W).
- Select RED, GREN, BLUE, WHIT, or AMBE for WHITE1~11.
- Select RED, GREN, or BLUE for RGB TO W.
- Select a colour value (000~255).
- Repeat for the other colours.
When selecting RGB TO W, you will only be able to define the values of RED,
GREN (green), and BLUE.

Technical Information
Product Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear. To clean your product:
- Unplug the product from power.
- Wait until the product has cooled.
- Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents and accessible internal components.
- Clean all external optics and plastic surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
- Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
- Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens or plastic surface.
- Gently polish the lens or plastic surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external optics and plastic surfaces thoroughly and carefully
after cleaning them.
DO NOT spin this product’s fan using compressed air.
