AC Power
The COLORband Q4 IP 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 (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.
Power Linking
The product provides power linking via the outlet located in the back of the product. See the diagram below
for further explanation.

Operation
Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORband Q4 IP product (the “master”) to control the actions of
one or more COLORband Q4 IP products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master
product will be set to operate in standalone, 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
2. Press <ENTER>.
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. Press <MENU> repeatedly to go to the desired function or program.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the master product to operate in standalone.
4. 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

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.
