3. SETUP

AC Power

The 4BAR Flex Q has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avo id the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non­use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

OPERATION

Configuration (DMX)

The 4BAR Flex Q works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website:
www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf
Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket on the
product.

DMX Personality and Starting Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels. The 4BAR Flex Q uses up to 19 DMX channels in a 19Ch DMX mode, which defines the highest configurable address to 494.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch, 6Ch, or 19Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d--- will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

D-Fi USB Connectivity

The 4BAR Flex Q is able to become a D-Fi wireless receiver/transmitter with the use of the D-Fi USB from Chauvet DJ. Simply set the product's DMX Personality and DMX Address, set the DIP switch D-Fi
receiving/transmitting channel, then plug it into the D-Fi USB port.
.
.
WARNING! DO NOT plug anything other than a D-Fi USB into the USB port. Doing so may cause damage to the product.
Once plugged in, the D-Fi USB will take over the product. Wired DMX, manual display control/menu buttons, and IRC-6 will be unavailable until you unplug the D-Fi USB. The priority levels are:
1. D-Fi USB
2. Wired DMX
3. IRC-6 remote control
4. Manual digital display/menu buttons

Configuration (D-Fi USB)

1. Set the DMX personality and DMX address on your product.
2. Use the chart provided to set BOTH:
• the channel, and then
•the Receiving or Transmitting option.

OPERATION

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single 4BAR Flex Q product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more 4BAR Flex Q products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in either standalone mode or with the footswitch, whereas the slave products will be set to operate in slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.

Master/Slave Mode (Wired)

Configure the products as indicated below:
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch, 6Ch, or 19Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to d.1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to operate in Automatic or Sound-Active mode.
2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
• Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
• Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)

The D-Fi USB allows a single 4BAR Flex Q product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more 4BAR Flex Q products (the slaves) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will be set to operate in either standalone mode or with the footswitch, whereas the slave (receiver) products will be set to operate in slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product. Configure the products as indicated below:
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch, 6Ch, or 19Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to d.1.
4. Set D-Fi USB to receive on a specific channel, 1–16.
5. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
6. Finish setting and configuring all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until the DMX personality the slaves are set to shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to d-1.
4. Set the master to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.
5. Set the D-Fi USB to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.
6. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
• All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.
• Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.
• Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

MAINTENANCE

5. MAINTENANCE

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
