DMX Linking

The 4BAR Quad works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX Primer,
which is available from the Chauvet website
DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.

Configuration (DMX)

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 the starting address is set too high, access to some of the product's channels could be restricted.
The 4BAR Quad uses up to 15 DMX channels in a 15-Ch DMX mode, which defines the highest configurable
address to 494.
For information about the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com.
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 1–509 will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

D-Fi USB Connectivity

The 4BAR Quad is able to become a D-Fi wireless receiver/transmitter with the use of the D-Fi USB from
Chauvet DJ. Simply set the D-Fi receiving/transmitting channel, plug it into the USB port, then set the
product's DMX Personality and DMX Address.
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

Configuration (D-Fi USB)

1. Set the DMX Personality and DMX address on your product.
2. Use the Chart provided to set BOTH:
• The Channel, and then
• the Receiving or Transmitting option.
