Configuration (DMX)

The 4BAR Flex Q works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer,
which is available from the Chauvet website:
www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket on the
product.

DMX Personality and Starting Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX
mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the
product's channels. The 4BAR Flex Q uses up to 19 DMX channels in a 19Ch DMX mode, which defines
the highest configurable address to 494.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from
www.chauvetlighting.com/downloads/DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4Ch, 6Ch, or 19Ch shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d--- will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

D-Fi USB Connectivity

The 4BAR Flex Q is able to become a D-Fi wireless receiver/transmitter with the use of the D-Fi USB from
Chauvet DJ. Simply set the product's DMX Personality and DMX Address, set the DIP switch D-Fi
receiving/transmitting channel, then plug it into the D-Fi USB port.
WARNING! DO NOT plug anything other than a D-Fi USB into the USB port. Doing so
may cause damage to the product.
Once plugged in, the D-Fi USB will take over the product. Wired DMX, manual display control/menu
buttons, and IRC-6 will be unavailable until you unplug the D-Fi USB. The priority levels are:
1. D-Fi USB
2. Wired DMX
3. IRC-6 remote control
4. Manual digital display/menu buttons
