Configuration (DMX)
The Kinta HP 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 and Personality
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX
channels the selected DMX mode uses. If the starting address is set too high,
access to some of the product’s channels could be restricted.
The Kinta HP uses up to 12 DMX channels, which defines the highest
configurable address to 501.
For information about the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetdj.com.
To select the starting address and personality, do the following:
- Press < MENU> repeatedly until 3Ch or 12Ch shows on the display.
- Press < ENTER>.
- Use < UP> or < DOWN> to select the starting address, from d001512.

Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating.
This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear.
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting
products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and
environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the
cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
- Unplug the product from power.
- Wait until the product is at room temperature.
- Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
- Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
- Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
- Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
- Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
| Always
dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
