1Qa to a
protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect

Make sure to
connect the
Colorist Pod 1Qa
to a power line with the
proper voltage and
frequency, as per the
specifications in this
manual or on the product’s
sticker.
To eliminate
unnecessary
wear and improve

The listed current
rating indicates
the maximum
current draw during normal
operation.
When connecting
the Colorist Pod
1Qa to local
power, it may be
necessary to use the local-
to-IP65 adapters supplied
with this product.
AC Power
The Colorist Pod 1Qa has an auto-ranging power supply that works 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

Installation

The Colorist Pod
1Qa must be
linked using DMX
cable in a daisy
chain (serial) fashion. To
comply with the EIA-485
standard, no more than
32 products should be
connected on one daisy
chain without using a
DMX optically isolated
splitter. Doing otherwise
may result in deterioration
of the digital DMX signal.
USITT
recommends
limiting the total
length of the DMX cable
(from the first
product/controller to the
last product) to 300–455
m (985–1,500 ft).
When not using
the Power
Output, DMX
Input or DMX Output
connectors, you must seal
the cable ends with the
supplied caps.
DMX Linking
You may link the Colorist Pod 1Qa to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX products compatible with the Colorist Pod 1Qa, you can
control each 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 Colorist Pod 1Qa to a DMX controller, you may
download the “DMX Primer” from the ILUMINARC w
ebsite at
http://www.iluminarc.com/reports/dmx-primer.
DMX Connection
The Colorist Pod 1Qa uses a regular DMX data connection for its DMX personalities:
1ch, 4ch, 5ch, 6ch, 7ch, and 10ch.

If you have not

address and
DMX personality for each
product, they will all use
their default values. This
means that all products
will operate in unison.
DMX Personality
The Colorist Pod 1Qa uses the standard DMX data connection for its 5 DMX personalities as
per the table below. Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these
personalities. Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Colorist Pod 1Qa to
work in these personalities. The DMX Values section provides detailed information regarding

Controllers
The Colorist Pod 1Qa IP can operate with a standard DMX controller, RDM2go, or the
ILUMICODE addresser. The sections below provide information on how to connect these
products to the corresponding controllers. The instructions to operate these products with each
of the above controllers are in the Operation section of this manual.
DMX Controller
The Colorist Pod 1Qa can work with a standard DMX controller. The channel assignments will
depend on the chosen DMX personality (see the corresponding Menu Map section) and the
DMX address assigned to each product (see the Programming section).
The figure below illustrates how to connect the DMX controller to the Colorist Pod 1Qa.

Installation
10 Colorist Pod 1Qa User Manual Rev. 1
To assign individual
DMX addresses to
each product, you
must connect the
Ilumicode to each product,
individually or use an
RDM2go.
ILUMINARC
suggests that you
connect no more
than 20 products in
this mode and keep the total
distance to less than 60 m
(197 ft). Otherwise, you
might need to use an
optically isolated signal
amplifier.
Ilumicode addresser/RDM2go
The Colorist Pod 1Qa uses the Ilumicode addresser (Ilumicode) or an RDM2go for configuration
purposes. The diagram below shows how to connect the
Ilumicode/RDM2go to this product. This
connection will control multiple products at the same time.
To assign individual DMX addresses to each product, you must connect the Ilumicode to each
product, individually. However, by using the RDM2go, you may addr
ess each product in the daisy
chain to a different DMX address by using the RDM function without the need connect to each
individual product.
Important: The Ilumicode/RDM2go must be used to configure this product. The
Ilumicode/RDM2go can be purchased se
parately through your ILUMINARC sales
representative.

Product Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean the products frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a general
guideline, products should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light
output, performance, and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life.
For products containing external optical lenses, clean them periodically to optimize light
output. The cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the product operates.
Damp, smoky, or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the
product’s optics, requiring more frequent cleaning.
To clean a 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 and reachable internal components.
4. Clean all external glass optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner
or isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue.
5. Clean all plastic surfaces, including LED lenses, with mild soapy water and a soft, lint-
free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
6. Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and wipe any dirt and grime to the
outside edge of the lens.
7. Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
