the use of the D-Fi USB from CHAUVET DJ. Simply set the DIP switch 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 and manual
display control/menu buttons will be unavailable until you unplug the D-Fi
USB. The priority levels are:
- D-Fi USB
- Wired DMX
- IRC-6 Remote Control
- Manual Digital Display/Menu Buttons
Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)
The D-Fi USB allows a single 4BAR Quad ILS product (the “master”) to control
the actions of one or more 4BAR Quad ILS products (the “slaves”) without the
need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will
be set to operate in standalone mode, while the slave (receiver) products will
be set to operate in DMX mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will
operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
- Press
- Press
. - Use
or to set the starting address to d 1. - Press
. - Set the D-Fi USB to receive on a specific channel, 1–16.

- Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product
- Set the master product to operate in standalone mode.
- Set the D-Fi USB to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.
- Plug in the D-Fi USB.
• All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.
• **** Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.
• Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

the GigBAR MOVE+ILS:
Kinta effects will sync with one of the kintas, moving heads will sync with
one of the moving heads, and wash effects will sync with one of the pars.
Laser effects will sync with the laser, and strobe effects will sync with the
strobe effects regardless of ILS mode.
