3.SETUP
AC Power
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied.
Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the
voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to
circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
•To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
•A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.
•All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat
(variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0%
to 100% switch.
•Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s
requirement, and that the fuse is the value specified for the operating voltage (110V operation =
2A 125V/250V fast blow; 230V operation = 1A 250V fast blow).
•All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Hanging Clamp
This fixture can be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position or against a flat surface using
the brackets provided.
Rigging
The fixture includes two brackets with ¼ turn locks for attaching a
standard truss mounting hanging clamp. You must supply your own
clamp and make sure the clamp is capable of supporting the weight
of this fixture. You can order C-clamps from any CHAUVET
dealer or distributor.
1. Block access below the work area and use suitable and
stable platform when installing or servicing fixture.
2. Align the clamp screw with the center hole on the yoke
and tighten.
3. Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-
be installed fixtures.
4. Adjust the angle on the yoke arm as necessary.
5. Always use a safety cable or chain as a secondary
source of attachment. The safety cable must hold 10
times the weight of the fixture. If safety cable attachment
point is provided that is permanently affixed to the
surface or body of the fixture, use that instead of looping
through a hanging yoke/arm.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.
The Q-Wash 36 fixtures use 10 channels of DMX control.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA-485
standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32
fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in
deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to
electromagnetic interference.
DMX Data Cable
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.
Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will
have the following characteristics:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20Ω/ 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 - 140Ω
Cable Connectors
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

5.APPENDIX
DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection, though all 512 channels do not need to be used.
Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or
a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that
indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX
controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start
address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in
erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control
multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is
that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all
respond exactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is
where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which
the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to
each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures
using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The
shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+). CHAUVET
carries 3-pin DMX-compliant cables, DMX-10 (33’), DMX-4.5 (15’) and DMX-1.5 (5’). Contact the
nearest Chauvet dealer to order any of these cables.
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint-free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
Q-Wash LED User Manual 13 10/8/2007/09:47

Returns Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request an RA # prior to shipping the
fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause
for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe
method to use.
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage
must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
