Protection from electric shock
•Keep the fixture away from rain and moisture.
•Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or any
part, and when not in use.
•This device falls under protection class I. Therefore always ground (earth) the fixture
electrically.
•Make sure that the power cord is not damaged. Check the fixture and the power cord from
time to time.

fixture or removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses.
•Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
•Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum
life time.
4. RIGGING THE FIXTURE
Fixture base
Mounting Bracket
Attach both of the supplied mounting brackets to the fixture base by placing the brackets on the
fixture base matching the mounting holes and turning the twist locks by 90 degrees clockwise until
they are mounted tightly. Always use both brackets when rigging the fixture.
When hooks or clamps are connected to the brackets for rigging, verify that the hooks or clamps are
undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
To un-mount the brackets turn the twist lock by 90 degrees counter clockwise and release the
brackets from the fixture base.

Requirements for the rigging place:
When mounting the fixture vertically the P/T speed must be set to speed 6 in the fixture
menu(default value).
•For safety the fixture should have a secondary fixing with a safety cord through the truss and
safety bracket of the fixture. The safety cord must bear at least 10 times the weight of the
fixture.
•When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the fixture make sure that no people are staying in the
area below the fixture and other endangered areas.
•Check that the tilt lock is released.
•Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 2 meters (78
inches) of the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
•Check that there is no possibility of heads or yokes colliding with other fixtures.
•If any accidents happen due to not following the above instructions, the manufacturer will not
be responsible for it.
5. LAMP REPLACEMENT
Installing any other lamp then advised by the manufacturer may create a safety hazard or
damage the fixture!

5.1 Lamp Installation
Switching the lamp off before it’s warmed up will decrease the lamp’s life time.
To reduce the risk of explosion, replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average life time.
Never exceed the lamp’s average life time by more than 10%. To read running hours from the control
panel, please refer to display function menu chapter 7. Replace the lamp immediately if it is deformed
or in any way defective.
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes.
2. Loosen the 4 fastening screws on the lamp housing cover plate.
3. Carefully pull out the cover with the lamp assembly.
4. Remove the old lamp and insert the new lamp into the socket. Make sure that the lamp is
installed tightly into the lamp socket.
5. Close the lamp housing cover and fasten the 4 screws again.
NOTE: All bulbs have a maximum lifetime, check lifetime regularly to avoid exceeding lifetime,
otherwise it may result in deformation or explosion of the bulb, what may cause damage on the
reflector or other parts of the fixture.
5.2 Lamp Adjustment
The lamp holders of all QMAXZ fixtures are aligned at the factory. Due the difference between lamps,
fine adjustment may increase the light output.
QMAXZ advises to always re-adjust the lamp position when installing a new bulb
1. Strike the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface (wall).
2. Use the 2 screws (see picture) to centre the brightest part of the lamp (hot-spot).
3. Turn the screws one by one clockwise and/or counter clockwise until the hotspot is in the
centre of the beam. If you cannot detect the hotspot, adjust the lamp until the output is evenly
spread over the beam and the output is the brightest.
Never run the device without lamp!
Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers. Wear safety glasses and gloves
when handling lamps.

6. POWER AND SIGNAL CONNECTION
6.1 AC Power
Do not connect the fixture to a dimmer system; doing so may damage the fixture.
Make sure the fixture is earthed (grounded). The AC mains supply must be fitted with a
circuit breaker and earth fault switch (ground fault).
Check that the power supply voltage and frequency are corresponding with the AC mains supply
needed by the fixture (check AC mains panel on the fixture).
Before switching on the fixture verify that the tilt lock is released.
Power requirements:
•QM575S 220V ~ 240V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 680Watts
•QM575W 220V ~ 240V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 680Watts
•QME575S 180V ~ 260V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 680Watts
•QME575W 180V ~ 260V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 680Watts
•QM700S 220V ~ 240V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 850Watts
•QM700W 220V ~ 240V AC 50Hz ~ 60Hz 850Watts

6.2 Fuse replacement
When the fixtures main fuse is blown it can be replaced with a new 31x 6.35mm fuse, 10A/250v.
1. Disconnect the fixture from the mains supply.
2. Open the fuse holder on the fixture power panel by turning the cap counter clockwise using a
Philips head screwdriver.
3. Replace the defective fuse and close the fuse holder by putting the cap back in and turning it
clockwise until it is locked tightly.
4. Connect the mains power again and turn on the fixture to check proper operation.
There are also two fuses on the main PCB board inside the fixture, for how to replace this please
contact your dealer.

6.3 Signal Connection
Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.
The QMAXZ fixtures have both 3 and 5 pin XLR sockets. The sockets are wired parallel, both inputs
connect to both outputs. Never use 3 and 5 pin connectors at the same time. For the pin-layout see
the following table.
Pin-Layout
Pin 5 pin 3 pin
1 Earth Earth
2 Signal – (Cold) Signal – (Cold)
3 Signal + (Hot) Signal + (Hot)
4 No connection
5 No connection
Use a shielded twisted pair cable suitable for RS485 (120Ω) operation at 250 baud
Microphone type and other general purpose cabling such as two core audio or signal cables are not
suitable for use with DMX512.
Connect the DMX output from the controller to the closest fixture input and connect the fixture DMX
output to the next fixture DMX input until all fixtures are connected.
Do not overload the link. A maximum of 10 devices may be connected on a serial link.
Insert a male 120ΩXLR termination plug, in the last fixture. This to avoid signal reflection and
interference.
