Expected LED
Lifespan
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 i ntensity 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 improv ing the fixture’s
ventilation and r educ ing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the ov erall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LE Ds’ lifespan.

AC Power
The Q-Wash 360Z-LED has an auto-rangi ng power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100~ 240 VA C, 50/ 60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper v oltage, as per the
specifications in this guide, the product ’s user m anual, or on t he pr oduc t’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-Wash 360Z-LED see the label affixed to
the side of the fixt ur e. Alternatively, you may refer to the Technical Specifications chart in
the Technical Infor m ation chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maxim um curr ent draw during normal operation. For
more information, you may download the “Sizing the Circui t Br eak er s” docum ent from the
CHAUVET® Web site.
Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even i f
the rheostat or dimmer chann el serves o nl y as a 0 to 100% switch.
AC Plug
Fuse Replacement
The Q-Wash 360Z-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with an IEC connector
on one end 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.
Connection Wire (US) Wire (Europe) Screw Color (US)
AC Live Black Brown Y ellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green
Make sure to disconnect the fixt ure’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse, and
always replace it wi th a fuse of the same t ype and rating.
1) Wedge the tip of a flat head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder and pry it out of
its housing.
2) Remove the blown fuse from its holder and replac e it with a fuse of the exac t sam e
type and rating ( T 5 A, 250 V).
2) Insert the fuse hol der bac k in its pl ac e, and rec onnec t power.

DMX Linking
DMX Modes
Master/Slave
Connectivity
You may link the Q-Wash 360Z-LED to a DMX controller using a standar d DM X serial
connection. If using ot her DM X compatible fixtures with this product , it i s possible to control
them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, you may download t he “ DM X
Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
The Q-Wash 360Z-LED uses the standard DMX data c onnec tion for its Basic and
Advanced DMX modes. You will find inform ation about these DMX modes in the Operation
chapter (configur ation details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).
The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Wash 360Z-LED fixture to control one or more fixtures
of the same model without a DMX controller. The controlling fixtur e bec om es the “master
fixture” when running the Auto1, Auto2, or Custom programs. You must configure the
controlled (slave) fixtures to operate in “SLAV E ” mode from their respective control panels.
During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master
fixture.
The master links to the slave fixtures using the standard DMX serial connec tion. If you are
not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download the “DMX Primer”
document from the CHAUV ET® Web site.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures op erat ing in Master/Slave mode.
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from
the master fixture.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave un its.
