What Is Included

Claims

Carefully unpack the product immediately and check the container to make sure all the parts are in the

package and are in good condition.

If the box or the contents (the product and included accessories) appear damaged from shipping, or show

signs of mishandling, notify the carrier immediately, not Chauvet. Failure to report damage to the carrier

immediately may invalidate a claim. In addition, keep the box and contents for inspection.

For other issues, such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping, or concealed

damage, file a claim with Chauvet within 7 days of delivery.

Text Conventions

Symbols

FCC Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 Part B of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Warning for North America and Australia

Warning!

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and the

user. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Expected LED Lifespan

Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than single LEDs,

contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000

hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit the overall intensity.

Setup

3. Setup

AC Power

The COLORado Panel Q40 has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range

of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current

value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.

The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

AC Plug

The COLORado Panel Q40 comes with a power input cable terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A

connector on one end and an Edison connector on the other end (U.S. market). Use the table below to wire

a plug.

Power Linking

It is possible to power link COLORado Panel Q40 products. See the table below for the current draw at

each voltage and frequency:

Never exceed 12 A on a single circuit. Power-linking cables can be purchased separately.

DMX Linking

It is possible to link the COLORado Panel Q40 to a DMX controller using a 5-pin DMX connection or a

WDMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with this product, it is possible to control each

individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The COLORado Panel Q40 uses a 5-pin DMX data connection for the 4Ch, 7Ch, 11Ch, 16Ch, and 23Ch

DMX personalities.

• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORado Panel Q40 to work in these

personalities.

•TheDMX Values section provides detailed information regarding the control personalities.

Remote Device Management (RDM)

Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate

bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the

manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The COLORado Panel Q40 supports RDM

protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure

the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or

fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use

completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the

rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Setup

COLORado Panel Q40 User Manual Rev. 7

Wireless Operation

In optimal conditions, the COLORado Panel Q40 can operate up to 300 m (900 ft) away from the W-DMX

transmitter. The W-DMX receiver in the COLORado Panel Q40 must be paired with the W-DMX transmitter

for wireless operation.

Initial Setup

1. Turn the W-DMX transmitter on.

2. Connect the W-DMX transmitter to a DMX controller.

3. Place the COLORado Panel Q40 within 300 m from the W-DMX transmitter.

4. Disconnect any DMX cable from the COLORado Panel Q40.

5. Turn the COLORado Panel Q40 on.

Configuration

1. From the COLORado Panel Q40 control panel, go to DMX Address.

2. Select the start address, as with any other DMX compatible product.

3. Go to Wireless Setting > Receive On/Off.

4. Select On. (The Signal Strength Indicator will show a ?in front of the bars).

5. Press the reset button on the W-DMX transmitter. (The Signal Strength Indicator on the

COLORado Panel Q40 will show a ϟin front of the bars for 3 seconds while a connection is

established.).

Product Pairing

If the COLORado Panel Q40 has already been paired with the W-DMX transmitter, the Signal Strength

Indicator in the middle of the OLED screen will show the strength of the signal. In this case, the

COLORado Panel Q40 is ready to work in Wireless mode.

Pairing the COLORado Panel Q40 and a new W-DMX transmitter:

1. From the COLORado Panel Q40 control panel, go to Wireless Setting > Receive Reset.

2. Select Yes. The Signal Strength Indicator on the COLORado Panel Q40 will show a ?in front of

the bars.

3. From the W-DMX transmitter, press <RESET> (the Signal Indicator on the transmitter will flash).

4. Once the transmitter has found the COLORado Panel Q40, the Signal indicator on the W-DMX

transmitter will illuminate solid.

5. The Signal Strength Indicator in the middle of the OLED screen on the COLORado Panel Q40 will

show the strength of the signal.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an COLORado Panel Q40 (the master) to control one or more

COLORado Panel Q40 products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORado Panel Q40

becomes the master when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.

You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,

the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

Once a WDMX receiver has been linked to a specific WDMX transmitter, it will remain

linked to that specific transmitter until it is linked to a different one.

W-DMX operation can be interrupted or inhibited by liquid masses between the transmitter

and receiver such as water, snow, or people. For best results, keep the area between the

transmitter and receiver clear of any liquid mass.

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX

controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.

•TheOperation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to

configure the master and slaves.

• If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, or the DMX

cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from

the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.
