Avoid direct eye exposure to lamp while it is on.
Do not operate the fixture if covers are open or if any internal component is missing or damaged.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or
attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service,
please contact CHAUVET.

MOUNTING
Orientation
This fixture can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat surface using
the brackets provided.
Rigging
The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which 1 rigging clamp can be bolted Hanging Clamp
and (2) Flush Mount Brackets for flush mounting to flat surfaces. 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.
Flush Mounting Bracket
3. Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-be
installed fixtures.
Flush Mounting
1. Draw a screw hole template on a large piece of vellum or transparent paper for best alignment.
2. Place paper against the mounting surface and drill holes or mark the surface for drilling.
3. Hang Panel.
FIXTURE LINKING
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 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 serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To
comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be
connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial
data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in
deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
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.
Cable Connectors
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

INPUT 3 3 OUTPUT
2 2 Termination reduces signal errors and
DMX - to avoid signal transmission problems
and interference, it is always
advisable to connect a DMX signal
terminator.
CAUTION Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop and your fixture to perform
erratically. Test cables with OHM meter to verify correct polarity and to make
sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

Note! If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use
a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion:
STANDALONE MODE

Single-Fixture Mode
The ST-3000LED can be set to operate independently of other fixtures or a DMX controller in either a
sound-active or automatic mode. A serial data-link is not necessary for this mode of operation and it
is recommended that no connection to other fixtures be made at all.
1. Simply choose from any one of 10 built-in “DIP switch Options” from the table below.
Master-Slave Mode
A master-slave mode setup consists of more than one fixture connected in a serial data link without
the use of a controller. In a master-slave operation the slave fixtures will synchronize and will behave
either identically or in a planned chase pattern to the master unit which must be the first in the serial
daisy chain. A Master-Slave ST-3000LED system can consist of an unlimited range of fixtures or at
least the number stated to conform to EIA-485 standards.
Setup
1. The ST-3000LED sets up automatically for Master-Slave, no DIP-switch settings are required
other than for selecting DIP-switch Options.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the DMX IN input connector of the Slave fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin
connector. Continue the loop from DMX OUT to DMX IN.

Visit the section titled; Binary & DMX DIP Switch Addressing on page 13 & Binary Addressing Quick
Reference Chart on page 14 to quickly determine the binary DIP-switch settings for addressing.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial 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 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+).
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 Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # 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 properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe
method to use.
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.
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 and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold 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. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and 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 surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
Alternatively, using the “Binary Addressing Quick Reference Chart” in the Appendix section of this
manual, you can go directly to DIP switch settings associated with all 512 values available.
