Never use the yoke for secondary attachment. Q-7 Mounting bracket The standard Q-7 includes a mounting bracket with fasteners that can be attached to the fixture. The four rubber push-in bumpers prevent the fixture from sliding while operating, and protect delicate surfaces from scratching.
Connecting AC power The Q-7 Series can operate on any 208–240 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply, and it draws approximately 2A at full power. Connect the fixture to AC power by mounting a power connector to the bare ended mains cable. The fixture must be grounded/ earthed and be able to be isolated from AC power.
Configuring the device The Q-7 Series can be set up by using the control panel and OLED multi-line display at the base of the fixture or through RDM. Please note: In POI versions there is no display mounted in the fixture. The adjustments are made through RDM.
Connecting to a DMX control device The Q-7 Series is controllable using a DMX control device, and it can be connected using either a DMX cable, or via the fixture’s built-in CRMX wireless receiver system. When using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX-In cable (with male 5-pin XLR plug) to the input connector and DMX-Out cable (with female 5-pin XLR plug) to the output, both located on the rear of the fixture’s base.
6-channel DMX mode, and have a DMX address of 101, it will use the channels 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 (101+6=107 >> 107). Therefore, the following Q-7 in the DMX chain should then be set to a DMX address of 107, as the first fixture uses all the first 6 DMX channels, including channel 106.
Setting a static color manually The Q-7 can be configured to display a predefined and static color (or white color depending on the Q-7 model). To set up a static color go to MANUAL → QUICK COLOR in the menu.
In order to avoid flickering and horizontal banding (rolling shutter) the Q-7 Series offers the ability to adjust the refresh rate (frequency) in order to achieve flicker-free performance. In the Q-7 menu, go to SETTINGS → REFRESH RATE. Here you are able to set the refresh rate (frequency) of the LEDs to be: •...

Supported RDM functions The Q-7 Series features support for various RDM functions.
