In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, contact
CHAUVET® Technical Support.
Expected LED
Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-LED
conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by
improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to
an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also
help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

3. Setup
AC Power
Each Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for
each Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED
, refer to the label affixed to the product. You can also refer to
the Technical Specifications chart in this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
For more information, you may download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the CHAUVET
®
website: www.chauvetpro.com.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Plug
The Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with a Neutrik®
powerCON® A connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other
end (U.S.
market). If the power input cord that came with your product has no plug, or if you need
to change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Make sure to disconnect the product’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse.
Always replace the blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.
Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. Using a Phillips #2 head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating
(6.3 A, 250 V).
4. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

Setup
Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED User Manual Rev. 1 -7-
Power Linking
The Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED supports power linking. You can power link up to 2 products at
120 VAC, 5 products at 208 VAC or 6 products at 230 VAC
This product comes with a power input cord. This product does not come with a power
linking cable; however, power linking cables are available as an option.
DMX Linking
You can link the Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED
, you
can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for the PERSON 1,
PERSON 2, PERSON 3, PERSON 4, and PERSON 5 DMX personalities.
•Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED to
work in these modes.
•The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED (the “master product”) to control
one or more Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED
s (the “slave products”) without a DMX controller. One
Q-Wash™ 436Z-LED
becomes the master product when running an Auto or Custom
program, or by being in Static Control mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in Slave
mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX
controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master
product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards,
Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX
controller, download the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website:
www.chauvetpro.com.
