COLORDASH™ PARService Maintenance Guide
1 or more LED’s are not
illuminating
Clean the fixture regularly to avoid any such failure. This fixture is convection
cooled, which means that if the surface is kept clean and free of debris, then
proper cooling will be allowed to occur
An LED may have failed, resulting in an open circuit. In this event, all of the
red, green, or blue in a single module will no longer illuminate. This does not
mean that all of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.
An LED may have failed, resulting in a short circuit. In this event, only the
single LED which has failed will no longer function. This does not mean that all
of the LEDs have failed, but the circuit is wired in series.
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be
purchased directly from Chauvet Part#: P222-M1LEDP
1 or more LED’s are producing
very low output
Check that the lens assembly is installed properly. If the lens assembly is not
aligned properly over the LEDs, then they will not project fully
-See section on Lens Assembly Installation
-Note: In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be
purchased directly from Chauvet Part#: P222-M1LEDP
Breaker/Fuse keeps blowing
Check total load placed on the electrical circuit
Check for a short in the electrical wiring: internal and/or external
Check device’s fuse (internal)
Check cable connections The COLORdash™ PAR cables must be firmly
connected for operation

directly from Chauvet Part#: P170-MINIPD
Note: Keep DMX cables separated from power cables or black lights
COLOR-CON Controller does
not function, or does not function
properly
Make sure connector is firmly connected to device
The COLORdash™ PAR fixture must be in the correct mode in order to properly
