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 of 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by
improving the fixture’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition,
limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

3. Setup
AC Power The Q-Beam 260-LED has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the
specifications in this guide, the product’s user manual, or on the product’s sticker.
Always connect the Q-Beam 260-LED to a protected circuit with an appropriate
electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To determine the power requirements for the Q-Beam 260-LED see the label affixed to
the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding
specifications
chart in the Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
For more information, you may download the “Sizing the Circuit Breakers” document
from the CHAUVET® Web site.
Never connect the Q-Beam 260-LED 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-Beam 260-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with an IEC connector
on one end an Edison plug on the other end (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.
Connection Wire (US) Wire (Europe) Pin
AC Live Black Brown 1
AC Neutral White Blue 2
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow 3
Make sure to disconnect the fixture’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse,
and always replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Fuse Replacement 1) With a flat head screwdriver, wedge the fuse holder out of its housing and remove
the blown fuse from its holder.
2) Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
3) Insert the fuse holder back in its place, and reconnect power.

Setup
-8- Q-Beam 260-LED User Manual Rev. 01d
Make sure to disconnect the fixture’s power cord before replacing the gobo.
Gobo
Replacement
1) Loosen the four screws that hold the head’s front cover and move it slightly
forward.
2) Unfasten the four screws that hold the head’s upper cover and remove it.
3) Manually rotate the gobo wheel and pull out the desired gobo
4) Install the new rotating gobo by sliding it under the pressure plate near the center
of the wheel.
5) Reverse steps 1 and 2.
DMX Linking
You may link any Q-Beam 260-LED fixture to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a Q-Beam 260-LED
fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the Q-Beam 260-LED fixture to a DMX controller, you may
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DMX Modes
The Q-Beam 260-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its Basic and
Advanced DMX modes. You will find information about these DMX modes in the
Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration
details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values).
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Beam 260-LED fixture to control one or more a Q-
Beam 260-LED fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the
“master” when running in any mode other than DMX512. The controlled fixtures are the
“slaves” and you must set them to “Slave” mode from their respective control panels.
During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the
master fixture.
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial
connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures operating in Master/Slave mode.
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from
the master unit.
Conversely, DO NOT connect any fixture set to run as “master” to a DMX universe
because the signals from that fixture may interfere with the signals from the DMX
controller.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.

Mounting
Before mounting this fixture, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes section (page 2 of this manual).
Orientation
Always mount this fixture in any safe position while making sure that there is adequate
room around it for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance.
Rigging CHAUVET® recommends following the general guidelines below when mounting the Q-
Beam 260-LED.
•When selecting an installation location, consider ease of access to the fixture for
operation, programming adjustments, and routine maintenance.
•Make sure to mount this fixture away from any flammable material as indicated in
the Safety Notes section.
•Never mount the fixture in places where rain, high humidity, extreme temperature
changes, or restricted ventilation may affect it.
•If hanging this fixture, make sure that the location where you are mounting the
fixture can support its weight. Please see the Technical Specifications section of this
manual for the weight requirement of this fixture.
Procedure
The Q-Beam 260-LED comes with two omega brackets to which you can attach a
couple of “C” or “O” clamps. You must supply your own “C” or “O” clamps and make
sure that they are capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. You will have to use
two mounting points per fixture. In addition, you may mount this product on the floor or a
platform provided it is stable and it can support the weight of the fixtures on it.

Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures 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.
CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using
normal glass cleaning fluid.
To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:
•Unplug the fixture from power.
•Wait until the fixture is cold.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected
on the external vents and reachable internal components.
•Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt or grime to the
outside of the lens.
•Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
•When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
If the fixture has one or more cooling fans, refrain from spinning them using
compressed air.
