Introduction

Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power
The COREpar UV120 ILS 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 nonuse 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.

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
3. Pry the safety cap out of the housing.
4. Remove the blown fuse from the clip on the front of the safety cap and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
5. Re-insert the fuse holder and reconnect power.

Power Linking
The product provides power linking via the Edison outlet located in the back of the product. Please see the diagram below for further explanation.

Power-Linking Diagram

It is possible to power link up to 5 COREpar UV120 ILS products on 120 VAC or up to 9 COREpar UV120 ILS products on 230 VAC.
ONLY! If using the product in other markets, consult with the local Chauvet distributor,
The power-linking diagram corresponds to the North American version of the product  as power-linking connectors and requirements may differ by country or region.

Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.
Orientation
The COREpar UV120 ILS may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.

Rigging

• Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and programming purposes.
• Make sure that the structure onto which the product is being mounted can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications for weight information).
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
• When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.
• When power linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power-linking cables to reach.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could damage the knobs.

The COREpar UV120 ILS works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetdj.com.
DMX Personality and Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses. Choosing a starting address that is too high could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
The COREpar UV120 ILS uses up to 5 DMX channels in a 5Ch DMX mode, which defines the highest configurable address to 508.

Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single COREpar UV120 ILS product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more COREpar UV120 ILS products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in Standalone, whereas the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 1-CH shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly to go to the desired function or program.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the master product to operate in standalone.
4. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
   • Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
   • Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)
The D-Fi USB allows a single COREpar UV120 ILS product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more COREpar UV120 ILS products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will be set to operate in standalone mode, while the slave (receiver) products will be set to operate in DMX mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 1-CH shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the starling address to d 1.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Set the D-Fi USB to receive on a specific channel, 1-16.
6. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
7. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode.
2. Set the D-Fi USB to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.
3. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
   • All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.
   • Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.
   • Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

ILS Mode
ILS (Integrated Lighting System) provides 4 modes that synchronize with the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Modes 1 and 3 synchronize with side 1 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS, whereas modes 2 and 4 synchronize with side 2 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS. When linked. effects will sync with the most similar effect on the selected side of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Kinta effects will sync with one of the kintas, moving heads will sync with one of the moving heads, and wash effects will sync with one of the pars. Laser effects will sync with the laser, and strobe effects will sync with the strobe effects regardless of ILS mode. This product will synchronize with the par effect on the selected side of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS.
To set the COREpar UV120 ILS to respond to an ILS signal:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until iLS_ shows on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select from iLS1 (side 1), iLS2 (side 2), iLS3 (side 1), or iLS4 (side 2).
3. Press <ENTER>.
   

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 the 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.
