Lens Assembly Installation/Replacement
The COLORado ™ 6 comes with 15 lens assembly pre-installed from the factory. However, there are
2 other optional lens assemblies available as accessories which will alter the beam angle. Please
follow the below instructions for proper replacement/installation.
1. There are 6 screws located around each module.Remove all 18 screws for the front cover.
2. After removing the front cover, there are 5 screws that hold each lens assembly in place over the
LED’s. Remove these and take out the lens assembly.
3. Place the new lens assembly over the Led’s, being careful to get the correct alignment.
4. Replace the outer plastic cover, being careful to make a watertight seal.
Note The center module is different from the outer 2 modules.
Note There are multiple possible positions in which to place the lens assembly over the LEDs.
Failure to install it properly can lead to loss of light output and/or damage to the physical
LEDs. Please see the diagram located above to prevent this.
Warning! When replacing the lens assembly, please make sure that the power is disconnected from the
fixture beforehand.
Please also make sure that the covers are sealed tightly when replacing them after the new
lens assembly is installed, as failure to accomplish this will compromise the IP66 protection,
and possibly the warranty.
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link 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 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 fixtures 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 m (1640 ft)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32
