This firmware is intended only for Chroma-Q Color Force II  12, 48 and 72

IMPORTANT
Before updating, check the bootloader version
(See Menu/Setup/FW Version and then number next to BL (example, BL v1.06)
If the bootloader version is lower than 1.05 please contact Chroma-Q support before attempting to install the firmware.

To install the firmware, a Chroma-Q Uploader II will be needed.
Follow the upload instructions in the included PDF.

Note: There are two firmware files per fixture: 1 for each of the engine boards and 1 for the addressing board. The order of the updates is not important. 

*******UPDATE ONLY ONE FIXTURE AT A TIME*******
If updating more than one fixture, they must be done one at a time. Attempts to update several fixtures at once will corrupt the firmware. 

After the firmware is installed, do the following to ensure all settings are nominal.
In the DMX Address menu, enter 555 and press Enter, this will sync the engines with the addressing board.
In the menu Setup/Reset, select Default and press and hold Apply until the fixture resets.

After customizing Settings, Modes, Options and DMX Address as needed, the fixture is ready to be used.
