COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 User Manual Rev. 5
The COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 supports power linking. You can power link up to 14
products at 120 VAC, 24 products at 208 VAC, or 26 products at 230 VAC.
This product comes with a power input cord. This product does not come with a power
linking cable; however, a power linking cable is available as an option.
You can link the COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the COLORdash™
Par-Quad 18, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
The COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 uses the standard DMX data connection for the 4-, 6-,
and 10-channel DMX modes.

DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 (the "master product") to
control one or more COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18s (the "slave products") without a DMX
controller. One COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 becomes the master product when running
an Auto or Fixed program, or by being in Manual mode.
You must configure each slave product's control panel to operate in SLAVE mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
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
product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
