These firmware's are intended only for Chroma-Q Studio Force II  12, 48 and 72
	
IMPORTANT
Before updating, check the bootloader version
(See Menu/Setup/FW Version and then 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's per fixture to be updated, the addressing board and the engine boards, the order into which the update is done is not important.
If many fixtures must be updated, only one fixture can be done at once, no serial update, it will corrupt the firmware. 

After the firmware’s are 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.

Redo the Settings as desire, modes, Options and DMX address and the fixture is ready to be used.
