AC Power
The SlimBANK Q18 ILS 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.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.

Operation
Master/Slave Mode (Wired)
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimBANK Q18 ILS product (the “master”) to control the actions of
one or
more SlimBANK Q18 ILS products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master
product 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 select 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
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.
set to operate in either standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave products will be
product.
• 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.
Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)
The D-Fi USB allows a single SlimBANK Q18 ILS product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or
more SlimBANK Q18 ILS products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The
master (transmitter) product will be set to operate in standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave
(receiver) products will be set to operate in DMX 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. Set the D-Fi USB to receive on a specific channel, 1–16.
6. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
7. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode.
2. Set the D-Fi USB to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.
3. 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.

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, wash effects will sync with one of
the pars, etc. This product will synchronize with the par on the selected side of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS.

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.
