The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use 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.

AC Plug

This product can be connected to a dimmer or rheostat, by plugging in to a standard outlet controlled by a dimmer or rheostat, or by splicing the power cable and connecting to the included track adapter.

Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color

The master product will be set to operate in either standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while 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.

Configure the products as indicated below.

Slave products:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER>.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the starting address to d 1.

4. Press <ENTER>.

5. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.

6. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.

7. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode or with the IRC-6.

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.

• Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

ILS Mode

ILS (Integrated Lighting System) provides 4 modes that synchronize with the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Modes 1 and 3 synchronize with side 1 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS, whereas modes 2 and 4 synchronize with side 2 of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS. When linked, effects will sync with the most similar effect on the selected side of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Kinta effects will sync with one of the kintas, moving heads will sync with one of the moving heads, and wash effects will sync with the pars. Laser effects will sync with the laser, and strobe effects will sync with the strobe effects regardless of ILS mode.

This product will synchronize with the par effects of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS. To set the 4BAR LT QuadBT ILS to respond to an ILS signal:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until iLS shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER>.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select from iLS1–4.

4. Press <ENTER>.

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 all 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.
