You may link any Q-Spot™ 160-LED f ixtur e to a D M X c ontr oller us i ng a s tan d ard D MX

fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If yo u ar e n ot fa mi l i ar w i th t h e D M X s t an d ard, or if you need inf orm ati on abou t th e DMX
cables needed to link the Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to a DMX controller, you may

The Master /Slave mode all ows a Q-Spot™ 16 0-LED fixtur e to control on e or more QSpot™ 16 0-LED fi xtures wit hout a DMX c ontroller . The contr olling fi xture bec omes the
“master” when running an Auto program (AUTO 1 or 2), a sound activated program
(SOUND 1 or 2), or the custom program (CU STOM). Th e cont rolled fixtures are the
“slaves” and you mus t set them to “Slave” mode from t heir respec tive contr ol panels.
During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the
master fixture.
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial
connection. I f you are not familiar with the Mast er/Sla ve con nec ti v i ty, you may d ownload
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DO NOT con ne ct a DMX controller to the fixtures o per ating in M ast er/Sl av e mo de .
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from
the master unit.
The Operation chapter of th is manual provides detailed instructions on how to

Always disconnect the fixture from the AC power before opening it.
1) Remove the gobo cover.
2) Remove the slot-n-lock gobo from the gobo wheel.
3) Using a small tool, pry the tension ring from the gobo holder.
4) Remove the old gob o.
5) Insert the new gobo, and replace in the reverse steps of removal.
If using coat ed gla ss gobo s, mak e sure that th e more r efl ective si de of t he go bo

provide extra isolation to its coating from the heat of the light source, thus
minimizing the risk of damaging the gobo’s coating.

Maintenance
To maintai n optimum per formanc e and minimi ze wear, the us er should cl ean the light
fixtures fr equentl y. Us age and envir onm ent are c ontr ibutin g f actors in determining the
cleani ng f requenc y. A s a rule, the user sh oul d c lean the fixtures at l e ast twice a m ont h.
Dust buil d up red uces ligh t output perform ance and c an cause overheati ng. This can
lead to reduced light s ource life and inc reased m ec h anical wear .
CHAUVET® rec ommends cleaning t he fixtur e’s extern al optic s with a sof t cloth usi ng
normal glass cleaning fluid.
To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:
• Unplug the fixture from power.
• Wait until the fixture is cold.
• Use a vacuu m (or dr y c ompress ed air ) an d a s of t brus h to remove du s t coll ec t ed
on the external vents and r eac h abl e internal c omp on en ts .
• Clean all external optics and gl ass surfaces with a mild solut i on of gl a s s clean er or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
• Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the
outside of the lens.
• Gentl y polish the exter n al gl ass s ur f ac es unt i l th ey are free of haz e a nd li nt .
• When clean i ng unit s with a movabl e mirror, you s h oul d k eep the contact wit h the
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
If the fixture ha s on e or m or e f an s, refr ain fr o m s pin nin g the m using co mpressed
air.
