Read all the following Safety Notes before working with this product. These Notes include
important information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.
There are no user serviceable parts in this product. Any reference to servicing in
this User Manual applies only to properly certified CHAUVET® technicians. Do not
open the housing or attempt any repairs unless you are certified.
Please refer to all applicable local codes and regulations for proper installation of
this product.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
Always disconnect this product from its power source before servicing.
Always connect this product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
Do not touch this product’s housing when operating because it may be hot.
This product is for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.
Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while operating.
When hanging this product, always secure it to a fastening device using a safety cable
(included).
Do not carry this product from the head; always use the handles.
Always make sure you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the
specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.
Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.
Do not operate this product if you see damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have
the damaged parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.
Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.
The maximum ambient temperature is 104° F (40° C). Do not operate this product at a
higher temperature.
In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, please
contact CHAUVET® Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by improving the
product’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

The Q-Wash 560Z-LED has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage
range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage. To determine the
power requirements for the Q-Wash 560Z-LED, refer to the specification label affixed to the
product or the specifications in this manual.
Refer to the Technical Specifications chart in the Technical Information chapter.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For
more information, download the document Sizing the Circuit Breakers from the
CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
The Q-Wash 560Z-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with an IEC conne ctor
on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US market). If the power input cord that
came with your product has no plug or you need to change the Edison plug, use the table
below to wire the new plug.

DMX Linking
DMX Modes
Master/Slave
Connectivity
You may link the Q-Wash 560Z-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Q-Wash 560Z-LED, you can
control each individually with a single DMX controller.
The Q-Wash 560Z-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its Basic, Advanced,
and G1 DMX modes.
Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Q-Wash 560Z-LED to work in
these modes.
The DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
The Master/Slave mode enables a Q-Wash 560Z-LED (the “master product”) to control one
or more Q-Wash 560Z-LEDs (the “slave products”) without a DMX controller. One Q-Wash
560Z-LED becomes the master product when running an Auto or Custom program.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in SLAVE mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, master/slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the document DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.

Dimmer Curve
Fader Reversal
Range Limitation
This setting determines how fast the output of the Q-Wash 560Z-LED changes when you
modify the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, and Dimmer faders. This setting
provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting
product.
To select the dimmer curve, do the following:
1. Go to MENU > INTRO > DIMMER.
2. Select DIMMER 0~4.
DIMMER 0:
The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBW channel
values.
DIMMER 1~4:
The output follows the Dimmer and RGBW channel values based on the
corresponding dimmer curve. DIM1 is the fastest and DIM4 is the
slowest.
This option enables you to define how the pan, tilt, and dimmer increase based on the
direction you move the corresponding fader.
1. Go to MENU > INVERT > PAN.
2. Select a fader direction (NORMAL or REVERSE).
3. Go to MENU > INVERT > TILT.
4. Select a fader direction (NORMAL or REVERSE).
5. Go to MENU > INVERT > DIMMER.
6. Select a fader direction (NORMAL or REVERSE).
7. Go to MENU > INVERT > USE.
8. Select YES to activate the new settings or NO to stop using them.
When in NORMAL, the pan, tilt, and dimmer values will increase as the position
of the respective fader increases.
When in REVERSE, the pan, tilt, and dimmer values will decrease as the position
of the respective fader increases.
When necessary to limit the pan or tilt range, you can do the following:
1. Go to MENU > RANGE > P/START.
2. Select the starting point for the limited pan (000~255).
3. Go to MENU > RANGE > P/FINISH.
4. Select the finishing point for the limited pan (000~255).
5. Go to MENU > RANGE > T/START.
6. Select the starting point for the limited tilt (000~255).
7. Go to MENU > RANGE > T/FINISH.
8. Select the finishing point for the limited tilt (000~255).
9. Go to MENU > RANGE > USE.
10. Select YES to activate the new settings or NO to stop using them.

Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning

Unplug the product from power.
Wait until the product is has cooled.
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external vents and accessible internal components.
Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass
cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
Drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the glass surface.
Gently polish the glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Refrain from spinning this product’s fans using compressed air.
