Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear to be damaged from shipping or the carton
itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that the fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and
packing.
Your shipment includes:
●6 x EventSpot 1600 Q4 (Black)
●1 x charging case
●6 x quick-lock bracket
●1 x remote control
●1 x Schuko to pro power
cable (1,5 m)
●User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
●be qualified

Wireless DMX connection
The wireless receiving module “Pico G4 Receiver, 2.4GHz”, provided by Swedish WIRELESS SOLUTION, only
has a 2.4 GHz wireless signal receiving function. In order to match the wireless signal, please use the 50175
W-DMX MicroBox F-1 G5 Transceiver by WIRELESS SOLUTION. To control the status of the wireless
communication, please look at the green LED indicator on the control panel of the fixture.
Wi-Fi Problems:
01) No emitter/sender matching.
The LED indicator dims for a long period of time.
02) Matching signal with one emitter, but loss of signal communication.
The LED indicator light will light up for 100 ms and then dim for 100 ms; The LED will flicker quickly.
03) Communication with an emitter, but no DMX data.
The LED indicator will light up for 900 ms and then dim for 100 ms; The LED will flicker slowly.
When the wireless DMX communication is normal, the LED indicator will always be on.
The EventSpot 1600 Q4 cannot receive a wireless DMX signal and a DMX
cable signal at the same time
When the device is set to Manual, Auto program or Built-in program, please ensure that the matching
2.4 GHz wireless signal transmitter is OFF.
Connect the EventSpot 1600 Q4 to the Wireless DMX signal transmitter
The EventSpot 1600 Q4 cannot actively match a random wireless signal transmitter.
In order to create a wireless match, please check the manual of your wireless signal transmitter.
We advise you to use the W-DMX MicroBox F-1 G5 Transceiver (50175) by WIRELESS SOLUTION (Fig. 10).

EventSpot 1600 Q4 Set
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of EventSpots on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the back side of the device allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the EventSpot will respond to the controller. Please note when you use the
controller, the unit has up to 10 channels.
When using multiple EventSpots, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address
of the first EventSpot should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second EventSpot should be 1+10=11
(011); the DMX address of the third EventSpot should be 11+10=21 (021), etc. Please, be sure that you
don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each EventSpot correctly. If two or more
EventSpots are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling: After having addressed all EventSpots, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the EventSpot will automatically detect whether DMX-512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX input, the problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the EventSpot.
●The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
