3.SETUP
AC Power
The 6SPOT™ Quad IRC 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.
•Always connect the product to a protected circuit
(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.
Fuse
Replacement
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type
and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
Power Linking The product provides power linking via the Edison
outlet located in the back of the unit.
Please see the diagram below for further explanation.
Power Linking
Diagram
You can power link up to 9 6SPOT™ Quad IRC unit

DMX Linking
The 6SPOT™ Quad IRC
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.
Configuration
(DMX)
Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input
socket on the product.
DMX Personality
and 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 6SPOT™ Quad IRC uses up to 28 DMX channels,
which defines the highest
configurable address to 485.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU>repeatedly until 4-CH, 10CH, or 28CH shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> when the desired personality is selected, and d 1–d512 will show on
the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single 6SPOT™ Quad IRC
(the master) to control the
actions of one or more 6SPOT™ Quad IRC products
(the slaves) without the need of a
DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Custom or Sound-Active mode,
or an auto program, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode. On
ce set
and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until one of the DMX modes shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d 1–d51 will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
Master unit:
1. Set the master to operate in Custom, Auto, or Sound mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
•Configure all the slave units before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
•Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.
