If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Expected LED Lifespan
Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit the overall intensity.

Product Overview

Product Dimensions 

Setup

AC Power
The Rogue Outcast 3 Spot has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
• Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

AC Plug
The Rogue Outcast 3 Spot comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on one end and bare wire on the other end (U.S. market). Use the table below to wire a plug.

Power Linking
The product supports power linking. It is possible to power link up to 2 Rogue Outcast 3 Spot products at 100 V or 120 V, 4 products at 208 V, or up to 5 products at 230 V or 240 V. Never exceed this number. This product comes with a power input cable. Power linking cables are available from Chauvet for purchase.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (F 8 A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

DMX Linking
The Rogue Outcast 3 Spot will work with a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX serial connection. A DMX Primer is available from www.chauvetprofessional.com.

Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Rogue Outcast 3 Spot supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

USB Software Update
The Rogue Outcast 3 Spot allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. The product’s USB port supports up to 32GB capacity and only works with FAT32 file format. To update the software using a USB flash drive, do the following:

1. Power on the product and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2. Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed. Press. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software in the Menu (Updated Firmware). A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3. Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message “Are you sure?” will be displayed. Press.
4. If the selected file is correct, the update will be completed. Restart the product. If the selected file is incorrect, the update will fail, and the display will go back to the main interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.

Gobo Replacement
The gobos in gobo wheel 1 are removable from their gobo holders. This operation requires a technician to carefully follow the recommended procedure.

• Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a gobo.
• Always replace a gobo with a gobo of the same dimensions.
• When inserting a glass gobo, always make sure that the shiny side of the gobo (glass base) faces the LED. This provides a layer of protection against the high temperature from the light source.

Procedure

1. Turn the product off and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2. Open the head cover by loosening the screws on the top cover.
3. Separate the gobo holder away from the gobo wheel by pushing it toward the front of the moving head. Be careful not to push the gobo out of the gobo holder.
4. Extract the gobo holder by pulling it outward.
5. On a flat surface, remove the expansion ring that holds the gobo in place and remove the gobo from the gobo holder.
6. Insert a new gobo and hold it in place with the expansion ring.
7. Slide the tip of the gobo holder under the pressure plate near the center of the gobo wheel.
8. Push the gobo holder inwards. DO NOT force the gobo holder into the gobo wheel slot. If correctly installed, the gobo holder should easily slide into the gobo wheel slot.

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:

1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans with compressed air. Damage may result.
