Chauvet Colortrack III

[Cephkiller]

I just bought some old fixtures for my band to use as a secondary light rig.  Included were a couple Chauvet Colortrack III.  These have 12 dip switches.  Chauvet says that a user's manual is unavailable.  when powered on, the fixtures cycle the wheel and the bulb turns on for about 10 seconds then goes off.  I am unable to get these to do anything else no matter what dip configuration I have tried.  Is there a stand alone mode or, preferably, a master/slave mode for these?  Does anyone have any advice for making these work correctly or, even better, a manual you could scan and post?  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Doing a little search online (I have zero experience with this fixture), I came across the following (I make no assertion that any of this is accurate):

 

> The address of the fixture only use only 9 switches. All the extra switches on any fixture are for the special features.

>DIP Switch # 10 is normally used for the stand alone programs. When that switch is on, the unit does not respond to DMX.

That's more info than I could find online.  Nice job!  Unfortunately, I went with the assumption that ch 10 was stand alone, I also tried 11 and 12.  None of these work.  I fear I may have defective fixtures but it seems unlikely because both of them are doing the exact same thing so IDK.  Hmmmmmm
