Read all these Safety Notes before starting to work with this product. These notes include
important safety information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this
product.
There are no user serviceable parts in this product. Any reference to servicing y ou
find in this User Manual only applies to properly CHAUVET® certified technicians.
Do not open the housing or attempt any repairs unless you are one of them.
Please refer to all applicable local codes and regulations for the 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 very 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
chain/cable (included).
Do not carry this product from the head. Always use the handles.
Always make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per
the specifications in this manual or on the product’s sticker.
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. In
any of these cases, have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized technici an at
once.
Do not cover the ventilation slots when this product is operating to avoid internal
overheating.
Do not aim this product toward the Sun. The lenses could concentrate the solar energy
and cause 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, 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.

Fuse Replacement
The Q-Spot™ 560-LED has an auto-ranging power supply that works with a n input voltage
range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the
specifications in this manual or on the product’s sticker.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To determine the power requirements for the Q-Spot™ 560-LED, refer to the label affixed
to the side of the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications chart in the
Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For
more information, you may 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-Spot™ 560-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with a IEC connector 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.

This product uses a T5 A, 250 V fuse.
Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse,
and always replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
1. Disconnect the product from the power outlet.
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 to pull out the installed fuse.
4. Remove the blown fuse from the safety cap and replace with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating (T5 A, 250 V).
5. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

DMX Linking
You may link the Q-Spot™ 560-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Q-Spot™ 560-LED, you can
control each product individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The Q-Spot™ 560-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX personalities,
Basic and Advanced. You will find information about these DMX modes in this manual.
Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description, the Operation chapter for
configuration details, and the DMX Values section for individual channel values.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode enables a Q-Spot™ 560-LED (the “master unit”) to control one or
more Q-Spot™ 560-LED’s (the “slave units”) without a DMX controller. A Q-Spot™ 560-LED
becomes the master unit when running an AUTO, SOUND, TEST, or CUSTOM program.
You must configure the slave units to operate in SLAVE mode from their respective control
panels. During the master/slave operation, the slave units will operate in unison with the
master unit.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, master/slave connectivity, or if you need
information about the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, you may
download the document DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.

Setup
Gobo
Replacement
1. Turn the product off and disconnect from the power outlet.
2. Open the head cover by loosening the four fastening screws at the sides of the
top cover.
3. Separate the gobo plate from the gobo wheel by pushing the gobo plate toward
the front of the moving head (direction 1 in the diagram). Be careful not to push
the gobo out of the gobo plate.
4. Take out the gobo plate by pulling the gobo plate outward (direction 2 in the
diagram).
5. On a flat surface, remove the expansion ring that holds the gobo in place.
6. Remove the gobo from the gobo plate.
7. Insert a new gobo and hold in place with the expansion ring.
8. Slide the tip of the gobo plate under the pressure plate near the center of the
gobo wheel.
9. Push the gobo plate inward. DO NOT force the gobo plate into the gobo wheel
slot.
Note: If correctly installed, the gobo plate should easily snap into the gobo
wheel slot.

Product
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean this product
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency.
As a rule, you should clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light
output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life
and increased mechanical wear.
To clean a product, follow the recommendations below:
Unplug the unit from power.
Wait until the unit 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 glass lenses with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleane r 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 lens.
Gently polish the glass lens until it is free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external glass lens carefully after cleaning it.
Refrain from spinning this product’s fans using compressed air.
