Mounting
Before mounting the product
, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP has a compact design to fit perfectly inside the TRUSST
truss systems. It attaches to 35-
50 mm truss without the need for a bracket, using an M12
threaded rigging point. Floor mounting is a cinch with a built-in adjustable kicksta
nd. The
product may be mounted in any position; however,
place the product so there is at least
20” of space around it and it is accessible for programming and control panel operation.
Rigging
Rig the product from a structure or surface that can support the product’s weight. See
Technical Specifications in this manual for the product’s weight.
When mounting the product overhead, always use a mounting clamp and safety cable.
Mount the product securely to a rigging point, such as a pipe or truss.
When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of appropriate
weight capacity. The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP has an M12 threaded mounting hole,
which is appropriate for this purpose. For the Chauvet line of mounting clamps, go to
www.chauvetlighting.com/cables-clamps-main.html/.
When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and any cables are
away from people and vehicles.
This product is for indoor or temporary outdoor use (IP54). Do not expose to harsh or
excessively corrosive environmental conditions (whether indoors or outdoors), including,
but not limited to,
extreme temperatures, humidity, atmospheric conditions (including
salinity or pressure), radiation (UV, infrared or nuclear), shock and conditions which
exceed the product’s Ingress Protection (“IP”) rating.

Wireless DMX
Linking
The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP operates by itself in Standalone mode.
It also operates in Master/Slave mode, or in Wireless DMX mode, both of which require
wireless DMX linking. In Master/Slave mode the master product sends wireless DMX
signals to the slaves. In Wireless DMX mode a lighting control board or D-Fi product
must send wireless DMX signals to the products.
To DMX-link a number of Freedom Par Quad-4 IP using wireless D-Fi, see D-Fi 2.4 GHz
(DMX Mode Manual Sync).
Information about DMX is in the DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet
website www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
Starting Address
To ensure full access to all channels in each DMX mode, the highest recommended
DMX address is 503.
Master/Slave
Mode
Master/Slave mode allows a single Freedom Par Quad-4 IP (the master) to wirelessly
control the actions of one or more Freedom products (the slaves) without a DMX
controller.
The master will be set to operate in either an auto program, static color, or custom color
mixing mode, while the slaves will be set to operate in wireless DMX receiver mode.
Once set, the slaves will operate in unison with the master. Configure the units as
indicated below.
Slaves:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until any DMX personality shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select drCH.
6. Press <ENTER>.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select a receiving channel dr 1–dr16.
8. Press <ENTER>.
9. Finish setting all the slaves.
Note: All slaves must be set to the same DMX personality and D-Fi channel.
Master:
1. Press <MENU> until the DMX personality the slaves are set to shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select dtCH.
6. Press <ENTER>.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the transmitting channel (dt 1–dt16
) the slaves are
set to.
8. Press <ENTER>.
9. Set the master to run in auto program, static color, or custom color mixing mode.
Never transmit a DMX signal from a controller over a D-Fi channel being used for
Master/Slave.
DMX
Personalities
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.
If unfamiliar with DMX, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the DMX personality and starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH (3-channel mode), 6-CH (6-
channel mode) or
10CH (10-channel mode) shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d 1–d512 shows on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

D-Fi 2.4 GHz
(DMX Mode
Manual Sync)
The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP series offers wireless control of 2 or more products with a
single DMX controller. To manually set up the D-Fi 2.4 GHz syncing for DMX, do the
following.
For the transmitting product:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> until dtCH appears on the display.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the transmitting signal (dt 1–dt16).
For the receiving product(s):
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> until drCH appears on the display.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the receiving signal (dr 1–dr16
). The channel
number should match the transmitting signal you chose when setting up the
transmitting product.
To sync multiple transmitters in one room, manually set each receiver and the
designated transmitter to a specific frequency and then perform the syncing
steps.
Freedom Par Quad-4 IP is fully compatible with the D-
Fi 2.4 GHz wireless
transceiver (transmitter/receiver) from Chauvet (sold separately).
For more detailed information about D-Fi 2.4 GHz functionality, refer to the D-
Fi 2.4
GHz User Manual available at the Chauvet website www.chauvetlighting.com.
Manual syncing is recommended for best results.

Page 12 of 20 Freedom Par Quad-4 IP User Manual Rev. 3
D-Fi 2.4 GHz
(DMX Mode
Auto Sync)
The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP offers wireless control of 2 or more products with a single
DMX controller. To automatically set up D-Fi 2.4 GHz syncing for DMX, do the following:
For the receiving product(s):
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> until drAS appears on the display.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. The display should show drAU.
For the transmitting product:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> until dtAS appears on the display.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. The display should show dtAU.
Receiving units must be set up before the transmitting unit. Once the steps above are
done, press and hold <AUTO> on just the transmitter for approximately 30 seconds. The
display and signal LED will flash to indicate sync is activated.
You can then back out to a general menu level and configure the transmitting product to
operate it with a DMX controller.
To configure your product to work with DMX, refer to the Starting Address section.
•To add additional Freedom products, turn the synced ones off and repeat the above
steps with un-synced products. Once all products are synced, turn them all back on.
•Auto scan syncing must be done within a distance of about 32 ft (10 m).
•Manual syncing is recommended for best resul
ts when adding products after initial
system setup.
•
If you are experiencing issues or need to improve signal quality, keep the line of sight
between products unobstructed.
•Ensure that all linked products are configured to the same DMX personality.
Caution: D-Fi 2.4 GHz operation can be interrupted or inhibited by liquid masses between
the transmitter and receiver such as water, snow, or people. For best results, keep the line
of sight clear of any liquid mass.

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.
