•Do not touch this product’s housing during operation because it may be very hot.
Mounting And
Rigging
•CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g. cold
truck to warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the
product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding
environment before connecting it to power.
•Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from
adjacent surfaces.
•This product weighs 1.8 lb (0.8 kg). Always ask for help when mounting this product to
avoid personal injuries or damage to the product.

higher temperature.
•In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
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 COLORdash™ Accent Quad has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input
voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each
COLORdash™ Accent Quad, 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.chauvetprofessional.com.
•Always connect this product to a protected circuit with 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 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 COLORdash™ Accent Quad comes with a power input cord terminated with an Edison
plug (US market). If the power cord that came with your fixture has no plug or you need to
change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

DMX Linking
You can link the COLORdash™ Accent Quad to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX
connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the COLORdash™ Accent Quad
, you
can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX
Personalities
The COLORdash™ Accent Quad uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 4-, 6- and 10-
channel DMX personalities.
•Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of each DMX personality.
•Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORdash™ Accent Quad to
work in these personalities.
•The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
personalities.
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.chauvetprofessional.com.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash™ Accent Quad (the master) to control one or
more COLORdash™ Accent Quads (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORdash™
Accent Quad becomes the master when running an auto or custom program, or by being in a
Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave
operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
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.
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure
the master and slaves.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, or the DMX
cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from
the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.

Product
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, you should clean this product frequently.
Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
As a rule, clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces
light output
performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and
increased mechanical wear.
To clean your product:
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 vents.
4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.
