3. Setup
AC Power
The Intimidator Beam Q60 has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range
of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current
value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.
The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Power Linking
The product provides power linking via the outlet located in the back of the product. See the diagram below
for further explanation.
Power Linking Diagram
• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or
fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
You can power link up to 11 Intimidator Beam Q60 products on 120 VAC or up to 21
Intimidator Beam Q60
products on 230 VAC.
The power linking diagram corresponds to the North American version of the product ONLY!
If using the product in other markets, you must consult with the local Chauvet distributor
as power linking connectors and requirements may differ in your country or region.

Operation
Configuration (DMX)
The Intimidator Beam Q60 works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX
Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website http://www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/
DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX
mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the
product’s channels.
The Intimidator Beam Q60 uses up to 16 DMX channels, which defines the highest configurable address
to 497.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU>.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Address.
3. Press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address, from 001–501.
5. Press <ENTER>.
DMX Personalities
The Intimidator Beam Q60 has two DMX personalities, a 16-channel personality, and a 12-channel
personality.
To choose which DMX personality to use, follow the steps below:
1. Press <MENU>.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Run Mode.
3. Press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select DMX.
5. Press <ENTER>.

5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of
the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions
could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because it they could be damaged.
