5. Set Up



AC Power: Before plugging your fixture in, be sure that the power source voltage in your ar ea

matches the required voltage for the fixture. The QUATTRO works in 100-220V/50~60Hz. Line voltages
may vary from venue to venue; therefore you should be sure that the fixture voltage matches the wall
outlet voltage before attempting to operate it. Always connect the fixture to a protected circuit (circuit
breaker or fuse). Make sure the fixture has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0% to 100% switch.

Charging the Battery: The battery included with the QUATTRO does not come completely

charged. It is recommended that you charge the fixture for at least 6 hours before your initial use. The
QUATTRO comes with a replaceable lithium-ion battery for cable-free and wireless op eration. To charge
the battery, simply plug in the power con cable into the “power con input” at any time before, during, or
after operation. Switch the battery switch to the CHARGE position, at this point the fixture will start the
charging process.

Battery Life Display:

The battery life display located in the menu options of the LED Display
shown as “BTCC” will display the remaining amount of internal battery life 0-100%. See Menu Map on
page 13 & 14 to find “BTTC”.

Battery Charge Indicator:The QUATTRO has a battery charge indicator on the front left portion

of the fixture. When charging, the LED indicator will turn red. Once the fixture is fully charged the LED
indicator will turn green. See fixture diagram on page 7 for the location of the Battery Charge Indicator.



Battery Maintenance: The QUATTRO should be charged for at least 6 hours prior to initial

operation for optimal battery usage. To keep the battery in optimal operating conditio n, store the fixture in
a cool, dry place and charge it at least once every 30 days when it ha s not be en in use. Avoid exposure
to extreme temperatures. If the fixture is exposed to extreme cold or hot temperat ures this may cause the
battery to fail or shorten the life of your battery. Your battery has a run time of up to12 hours of battery life
per charge and 6 hours of recharge time.

Fuse Replacem ent:

The QUATTRO has two different fuses, one for the AC power 5A/250V and a
second fuse for the battery 5A/250V. Always replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and
rating. The fixture does not ship with spare fuses.

1. Disconnect the fixture from the power outlet before replacing the fuse and turn off the battery.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove fuse holder.

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.
