You may link any Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.

If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX cables needed to link the Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to a DMX controller, you may download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

The Q-Spot™ 160-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its **DMX mode(s), <list of modes>**. You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).

The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to control one or more Q- Spot™ 160-LED fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the “master” when running an Auto program (AUTO 1 or 2), a sound activated program (SOUND 1 or 2), or the custom program (CUSTOM). The controlled fixtures are the “slaves” and you must set them to “Slave” mode from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the master fixture.

The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures operating in Master/Slave mode. Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the Master and Slave units.

The Q-Spot™ 160-LED comes equipped with a Color wheel featuring nine colors and a white (open).
