COLORado ™Panel Service Maintenance Guide 

Symptom(s) Possible 

Solution(s) 

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-CPNLLED 

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

COLOR-CON Controller does 
not function, or does not function

properly respond to the COLOR-CON controller. The correct mode is “SLAVE” 
in the onboard Control Panel

location for the convection cooling to be effective 

If you still have a problem after trying the above solutions, please contact CHAUVET
