Setup 3. Setup AC Power Each WELL™ Quad-M has an auto-ranging battery charger, whether stand-alone or inside the flight case that works with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each WELL™ Quad-M, refer to the label affixed to the product. For more information, see the Technical Specifications section. The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
Setup Battery Charge Notes • Make sure to turn the battery storage switch on before connecting the product to the charger. • Always use the supplied charger to recharge the built-in battery. • Recharge the battery within three days of last use. • Recharge the battery to full capacity before storing this product. • For best results, charge the battery in a temperature between 32 ºF (0 ºC), and 95 ºF (35 ºC). • When charging the battery, keep the product at no less than 1 m from any open flame or hot plate.
Setup DMX Linking You can link the WELL™ Quad-M to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection or via W-DMX™. If using other DMX compatible products with the WELL™ Quad-M, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller. DMX Modes The WELL™ Quad-M uses the standard DMX data connection for its TOUR, TR16, ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, AR2.D, AR2.S and HSV DMX modes. • Refer to the Introduction section for a brief description of these modes.
Setup W-DMX™ Operation The product can operate in W-DMX™ mode up to 300 m (900 ft) from the W-DMX™ transmitter. For wireless operation, the W-DMX™ receiver inside the product must be paired with a W-DMX™ transmitter. Initial Setup 1. Turn the W-DMX™ transmitter on. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the W-DMX™ transmitter to a DMX controller. Place the product within 300 m from the W-DMX™ transmitter. Disconnect any DMX cable from the product. Turn the product on. Configuration 1.
Setup Lens Angle Adjustment The product contains a single LED lens platform, that which allows the unit to be tilted from 55º up to 105º from the center. Positioning The WELL™ Quad-M stands on the support legs and positioned on a hard, steady surface that can support its weight. You should not mount the product in any way. • When selecting an installation location, consider easy access to this product for operation, programming adjustments, and routine maintenance.
Setup Tilt Angle Procedure The WELL™ Quad-M stands on a hard, steady surface that can support its weight. Using the installed retractable foot, the product is adjustable by using the foot release lever up to10º.

Select the desired dimmer curve (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, DIM3, or DIM4). OFF DIM1~4: Dimmer Curve Settings The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer and RGBA channel values. The output follows the dimmer and RGBA channel values based on the corresponding dimmer curve, being DIM1 the fastest and DIM4 the slowest.
Operation Program Upload This option allows you to duplicate the custom programs of a product onto another product using the Master/Slave mode. 1. Configure and connect the products in a Master/Slave arrangement, where the master product has the custom programs you want to transfer to the slave products. 2.
