Warning
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 damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a 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:
●Showtec Par 64 Short Q4-18 with a power
cable (1,5 m)
●Filter frame
●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
●follow the instructions of this manual

One Par (Sound-controlled)
01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) Turn on the music. If the device is set to sound-control, then the Par will react to the beat of the
music.
04) Please see page 13 for more information about the sound-control options.
Multiple Pars (Master/Slave control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the Par.

03) Signal +
03) Link the units as shown in Fig. 03. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in"
socket, using a DMX-signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
You can use the same functions on the master device as described on pages 13–14 (Built-in
programs, Auto Mode or Sound-controlled Mode). This means that you can set your desired
operation mode on the master device and all slave devices will react the same as the master
device.

Par 64 Short Q4-18
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 of 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 a 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 fixtures 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.
DAP Audio DMX Data Cables
●DAP Audio Basic microphone cable for allround use. bal. XLR/M 3-pin > XLR/F 3-pin.
Order code FL01150 (1,5 m), FL013 (3 m), FL016 (6 m), FL0110 (10 m), FL0115 (15 m), FL0120 (20 m).

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 front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Par will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 8channels.
When using multiple Pars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Par should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Par should
be 1+8=9 (009); the DMX address of the third Part should be 9+8=17 (017), etc. Please, be sure that you
do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Par correctly. If two or more Pars are
addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Pars, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Par will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX input, the “LED“ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Par.
●The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power and then
wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry
before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every 4 years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
Replacing the Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
