Introduction

Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power
The SlimPAR Pro Pix has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 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 (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of nonuse completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Power Linking

The product provides power linking via the Edison outlet located in the back of the product. Please see the diagram below for further explanation.
Power Linking Diagram

• You can power link up to 6 SlimPAR Pro Pix products on 120 VAC or up to 11 SlimPAR Pro Pix products on 230 VAC.
• The power linking diagram corresponds to the North American version of the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, you must consult with the local Chauvet distributor as power linking connectors and requirements may differ in your country or region.

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.

Orientation
The EVE P-130 RGB may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
Rigging

• Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and programming purposes.
• Make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
• Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product can support the product’s weight. (see the Technical Specifications)
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
• When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.
• When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power linking cables to reach.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the knobs

Configuration (DMX)
The EVE P-130 RGB works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.

Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
The EVE P-130 RGB uses up to 9 DMX channels, which defines the highest configurable address as 504. If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:

1. Press repeatedly until 3-CH, 4-CH, or 9-CH shows on the display.
2. Press .
3. Use or to select the starting address, from d 1–512.
