Configuring the Starting Address  
The Intimidator™ Scan LED 300 fixture uses up to 11 DMX channels. In this DMX  
configuration/personality, the highest channel that the fixture may be set to in order to function properly  
is 502. Any address higher than this will prevent access to all of the channels, while in this mode;  
however, if you desire to use one of the other DMX channels configurations (personalities), please  
consider the total DMX channels when selecting a DMX address.  
The Intimidator™ Scan LED 300 fixture uses 8 or 11 DMX channels, depending on the selected DMX  
configuration (personality). If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend reading the “DMX

DMX Primer  
There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 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 all  
respond exactly the same.  
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a 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 DMX data 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+).  
Fixture Linking (Daisy Chain)  
You will need a daisy chain to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller or to  
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The  
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a daisy chain determines the number  
of fixtures the data link can support.  
To comply with the EIA-485 standard, do not connect more than 32 fixtures on one daisy  
chain. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one daisy chain without the use of a DMX  
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.  
Maximum recommended cable distance: 500 m (1640 ft)  
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a daisy chain: 32  
Data Cabling  
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified  
DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create  
your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less  
prone to electromagnetic interference.  
DMX Data Cable  
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485  
applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances.  
The cable must have the following characteristics:  
Type:  
shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair  
30 pF/ft  
Maximum capacitance between conductors:  
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield:  
Maximum resistance:  
Nominal impedance:  
55 pF/ft  
20 ohms/1000 ft  
100 ~ 140 ohms

Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding  
the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test  
cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not  
grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.  
Setting the Starting Address  
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a  
start address from 1~512. 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 uses six DMX  
channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,  
101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap,  
and note the start address selected for future reference.  
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, we suggest jumping  
to the “Appendix” section and reading the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful  
information that will help you understand its use.

General Maintenance  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently.  
Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule,  
fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance  
and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear.  
Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.  
Unplug fixture from power.  
Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external  
vents.  
Clean all lenses when the fixture is cool with a mild solution of glass cleaner or  
Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.  
Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.  
Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.  
The cleaning of external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize  
light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates.  
Damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the  
unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Clean the external optics at  
least every 20 days. Clean the fixture at least every 30/60 days.  
Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.  
Never spin a fan using compressed air.  
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 Merchandize Authorization Number (RMA  
#). Products returned without the RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET® and request an RMA #  
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 pack fixture properly; any shipping damage  
resulting from inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper  
UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. CHAUVET® reserves the right to  
use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s).  
If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of paper

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.
