LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in  
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum  
conditions. For this reason, using all color LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly  
reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to  
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan expectancy is vital, lower the operational  
temperature by improving fixture ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In  
addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs life.

Setup  
3. Setup  
This product has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input voltage  
range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.  
AC Power  
Make sure that you are connecting the Q-Spot™ 160-LED to the proper voltage, as per  
the specifications in this guide, the product’s manual or on the product’s sticker.  
Always connect the Q-Spot™ 160-LED to a protected circuit with an appropriate  
electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.  
To determine the power requirements for the Q-Spot™ 160-LED see the label affixed to  
the side of the fixture. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding specifications  
chart in the Technical Information chapter of this manual.  
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.  
For more information, you may download the “Sizing the Circuit Breakers” document  
from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
Never connect the Q-Spot™ 160-LED to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer  
circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.  
The Q-Spot™ 160-LED comes with a power input cord terminated with an Edison plug  
(US market). If the power cord that came with your fixture has no plug or you need to  
change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Setup  
You may link any Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to a DMX controller using a standard DMX  
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with a Q-Spot™ 160-LED  
fixture, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.  
DMX Linking  
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX  
cables needed to link the Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to a DMX controller, you may  
download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
The Q-Spot™ 160-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its **DMX mode(s),  
<list of modes>**. You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction  
chapter (brief description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and  
the DMX Values section (individual channel values).  
DMX Modes  
The Master/Slave mode allows a Q-Spot™ 160-LED fixture to control one or more Q-  
Spot™ 160-LED fixtures without a DMX controller. The controlling fixture becomes the  
“master” when running an Auto program (AUTO 1 or 2), a sound activated program  
(SOUND 1 or 2), or the custom program (CUSTOM). The controlled fixtures are the  
“slaves” and you must set them to “Slave” mode from their respective control panels.  
During the Master/Slave operation, the slave fixtures will operate in unison with the  
master fixture.  
Master/Slave  
Connectivity  
The master and slave fixtures link to each other using the standard DMX serial  
connection. If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, you may download  
the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.  
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the fixtures operating in Master/Slave mode.  
Otherwise, the signals from the DMX controller may interfere with the signals from  
the master unit.  
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to  
configure the Master and Slave units.  
The Q-Spot™ 160-LED comes equipped with a Color wheel featuring nine colors and a  
white (open).

Setup  
The Q-Spot™ 160-LED comes equipped with a gobo wheel featuring seven rotating and  
replaceable (slot-n-lock system) gobos. The gobo wheel has an eighth position with no  
gobo (open).  
Gobo Wheel  
Gobo Wheel Diagram  
The Q-Spot™ 160-LED features a gobo wheel that holds seven interchangeable, slot-n-  
lock gobos. These gobos can rotate at various speeds and in both directions.  
Gobo  
Replacement  
Follow the procedure below to change any of the gobos on the gobo wheel  
Always disconnect the fixture from the AC power before opening it.  
1) Remove the gobo cover.  
Procedure  
2) Remove the slot-n-lock gobo from the gobo wheel.  
3) Using a small tool, pry the tension ring from the gobo holder.  
4) Remove the old gobo.  
5) Insert the new gobo, and replace in the reverse steps of removal.  
If using coated glass gobos, make sure that the more reflective side of the gobo  
(glass base) faces the light source. This way, the glass base of the gobo will  
provide extra isolation to its coating from the heat of the light source, thus  
minimizing the risk of damaging the gobo’s coating.

Technical Information  
5. Technical Information  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light  
General  
Maintenance  
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the  
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month.  
Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can  
lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.  
CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using  
normal glass cleaning fluid.  
To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:  
Unplug the fixture from power.  
Wait until the fixture is cold.  
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected  
on the external vents and reachable internal components.  
Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or  
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.  
Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the  
outside of the lens.  
Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.  
When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the  
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.  
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.  
If the fixture has one or more fans, refrain from spinning them using compressed  
air.

Technical Information  
The user must send the merchandise prepaid, in the original box, and with its original  
packing and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags.  
Returns  
Procedure  
Call CHAUVET® and request a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #)  
before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number,  
and a brief description of the cause for the return.  
The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization  
Number (RMA #). CHAUVET® will refuse any product returned without an RMA #.  
DO NOT write the RMA # directly on the box. Instead, write it on a properly affixed  
label.  
Once you receive the RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of  
paper inside the box:  
Your name  
Your address  
Your phone number  
The RMA #  
A brief description of the problem  
Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate  
packaging will be the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or  
double-boxing is always a safe method to use.  
CHAUVET® reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace  
returned product(s).  
The carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during shipping to this product or any  
part that shipped with it. Therefore, if the received merchandise appears to have  
damages caused during shipping, the customer must submit the damage report and any  
related claims with the carrier, not CHAUVET®. The customer must submit the report  
upon reception of the damaged merchandise. Failure to do so in a timely manner may  
invalidate the customer’s claim with the carrier.  
Claims  
For other issues such as missing components or parts, damage not related to shipping,  
or concealed damage, the customer must make claims to CHAUVET® within seven (7)  
days of receiving the merchandise.
