Setup 3. Setup AC Power The Q-Wash 260-LED has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in this guide or on the product’s sticker. Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Setup DMX Linking You may link the Q-Wash 260-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with this product, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller. DMX Modes The Q-Wash 260-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its Basic and Advanced DMX modes. You will find information about these DMX modes in the Operation chapter (configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).

Do not connect a DMX controller to the master or slave products.
Operation Dimmer Curve This setting determines how fast the output of the Q-Wash 260-LED changes when the operator modifies the values of the Red, Green, Blue, and Dimmer faders. This setting gives the user four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product. To select the dimmer curve, do the following: 1. Go to MENU > INTRO > DIMMER. 2. Select DIMMER 0~4. DIMMER 0: DIMMER 1~4: Fader Reversal The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGB channel values.
