DMX Linking

You may link the Q-Wash 360Z-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with this product, 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 this product to a DMX controller, you may download the “DMX
Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

DMX Modes

The Q-Wash 360Z-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).

Master/Slave

Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Wash 360Z-LED fixture to control one or more fixtures
of the same model without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the “master
fixture” when running the Auto1, Auto2, or Custom programs. You must configure the
controlled (slave) fixtures to operate in “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 links to the slave fixtures 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 fixture.

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